Absolutely phenomenal, if you enjoyed Portal or Portal 2, this mod is mindbogglingly awesome.

On a scale of 1-10, if Portal was a 5 difficulty, and Portal 2 was a 6 difficulty, then this mod is a 7 or 8 difficulty.
The time travel aspect of the game was very well implemented. Time travel very much wasn't intended as a gameplay mechanic for Portal 2, but this mod pulls it off so well it feels like it may as well have been part of the base game. Aside from a few minor bugs that feel more like limitations of the game than actual problems, very well done and polished mod.

My only complaint was there was a single puzzle where I moved a "present" cube that caused the "future" cube to spaz out and fly off the button it was placed on. Nothing too major, and it felt more like the game engine was bugging out as the problem completely vanished after I reloaded.

TL;DR: 10/10. Loved it. If you told me this was the first few hours of Portal 3, I'd 100% believe you.

Having played the Diamond Edition of this game many years ago, I have to say this game is every bit as janky and as pixelated as I remember. I love it. Mess around for a bit, complete the campaigns, maybe download the PRC pack (now located on the workshop) and enjoy this beautiful mess of a game. EE as far as I've been able to determine is a faithful recreation of the old Diamond Edition.

If you're debating on getting this game or not, get it. It's AMAZING. You might feel bored, you might cringe a little if you're not into these types of games, but keep that "Psychological Horror" tag in mind as you progress and you'll love every minute of this wonderful game. There were parts that I found boring when I started off, but looking back, I love every minute of it. You can't help but get invested in the story and the characters.

I went into offline mode to play this game thinking of the harassment of my friends when they saw I was playing a "dating sim". After playing Doki Doki, I wish I hadn't been so ashamed of it, it's the only game I can't reccommend enough to anyone who will listen. If this game wasn't free, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but after playing it, if it had a $30 price tag on it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

If this is the level of thought and writing that goes into Team Salvato's games, I can't wait to see (shut up and let me pre-order your game already Salvato!) what game they're releasing in 2018.

The game took me personally about 3 hours to finish in a single sitting, best 3 hours of my life. The game is free so what are you waiting for? My only problem with this game is that there's not more like this.

The files for the game include secrets that I STRONGLY recommend looking into AFTER you play the game through at least once. If you can't figure out one of the ARG-like secrets, they're easy to look up online.

TL;DR: It's free, it's great, if you think you won't like it, power through that feeling and play this masterpiece and remember, it's just Monika.
