Your job is to identify which doorways contain portals - to try and understand a space that resists understanding.\n\nThe portals, unlike in say, the hit game Portal, are not obvious. On first glance, they will look like any other doorway. Only through careful observation, and an understanding of the space, will you be able to successfully identify the portals.\n\nOnce you've successfully identified a portal, the rooms are regenerated, but with more rooms added each level, the challenge increases.\n\nSometimes the portals will appear on opposite sides of the same room, creating a small, perfect loop.
