The Psychological Torment of Test Chamber 17 | FULL Portal Lore

The Portal series is known for its dark yet witty humour. As the player, we navigated the test chambers of Aperture, solved the puzzles and even started beef with an AI. However, one of these chambers would go down as one of the most memorable. It was also the home of The Companion Cube.

What made this test chamber so unforgettable? How did it give rise to a chilling fan theory? And why was the instruction at the end so difficult to complete. In this video, we explore the psychological torment of Test Chamber 17 in Portal.
