A fan made mod.

Not to take anything away from them but other than not being on an official YouTube channel I did think this was a brand new game given it says 'official'. A bit deceiving.

It also uses the name "Portal" in a way that feels official, too. If it said "Revolution: A Portal mod" it'd be fine.

How does it “feel official”? It’s just what a lot of mods do:

  • Portal: Prelude
  • Portal: The Flash Version (though this one is a standalone game)
  • Half-Life: Echoes
  • Half-Life: Caged

These are just a few I can think of, you can find more on Steam and ModDB.

In addition to what others have said (all those examples are equally misleading IMHO), given that its the 25th Anniversary of Half-Life, a lot of us are primed to hope for news of a new game from Valve.
