Portals follow the same rules, meaning you can have two spatial portals in the present, and two differently placed spatial portals in the future. If at this point your brain is starting to feel a bit stretched, that’s exactly the sensation Portal Reloaded strives to evoke. However, you must ensure you move the present cube into place first, otherwise when you move it, the future cube will disappear because you altered its timeline in the present. The solution is to go into the future, grab the future version of the cube, and bring it into the present to place it on the button. This means you can double up on cubes in the present, so long as you don’t move the present cube while the future cube occupies the same timeline.Ī simple Portal Reloaded puzzle might involve two buttons in the present that need to be pressed to open a door, but only one cube. But an object from the future can be brought back with you into the present. An object from the present cannot be taken into the future, it’ll just fizzle out of existence the moment you step through the portal. This ties into the second important rule.
