Portal 2 but Chell goes back to Sleep

Playing Portal 2 backwards doesn't mean just flipping the order you play the levels in. That's boring. Instead, I made a full, playable mod that lets you get from the final boss fight all the way to the start.
If you want to play this mod for yourself, it is available on Spplice: p2r3.com/spplice
Thanks to / dustyhob0 for the amazing music, and a huge shout-out to everyone who helped playtest this mod, letting me make it that much better. And, of course, thank you for watching.

I'm still updating the mod according to the feedback I get, so expect some levels to differ when you play. (Also if you're reading this SUBSCRIBE :D)

already have subscribed man. legit i love portal 2 and your content and i want to try out speedrunning sometimes soon because of you lol

[@mikeysheep5380]

Suggestions: the jump at 7:56 could be made more casual-friendly if you add those repulsion gel panels in the acid. Make sure that strafing is still faster. make ladders more easy to climb, and make the gel bounce at 7:15 more fluid add a metal bar in the orange portal platform at 12:22 Add red arrows and other scribbles in the style of Doug Rattman to help guide the way through In the part where you have just put down the portal gun, add some bars on the walls in a diagonal staircase style so people who put down the gun too early can recover, or just set their blue portal location to above the pit a second after they put down the gun.

Could you imagine if the plot was reversed too: Wheatley tries his best to repair the facility, but the power bills are too much for him, so he tasks Chell to go down to Old Aperture and shut down everything. Chell makes her way down to the old test chambers, unsolving the tests and shutting down the gel machines. Chell leaves PotatOS behind, and makes her way back to the wreckage, where Wheatley conveniently left an elevator down for Chell to take up to his room. Wheatley decides to retire from being in charge, so he gives control to GlaDOS, who then states that the turret production needs to be repaired, so Chell proceeds to the factory, replacing a broken turret with a functional one, Chell then resets some more test chambers until she makes her way to the incinerator room, where she leaves the dual portal device behind. GLaDOS then reaches down the shaft, grabbing Chell and pulling her back to the surface. GlaDOS decides that everyone should take a nap, so she shuts down. Chell and Wheatley make their way back through some abandoned test chambers, putting everything back. Chell finally returns to her relaxation room, taking a quick bathroom break, before returning to her bed, resting for an unpreceded amount of time.

[@retro4372]

@@channelwithnotopic Sooo, when Chell thought she could finally sleep, the Party Escort Bot drags her to the surface, she's unhappy about that, so she smashes the cake grabs GLaDOS's module, drops down, slams her back into the Central AI Chamber, gets the Weighted Companion Cube from the Emergency Intelligence Incinerator, cleans it, goes through the testing track again, before finally returning to the Relaxation Vault once again. Whee. Now I wanna see something like this for Portal 1 as well.
