Oh, good luck with this. I remember finding Portal Prelude too much for me to handle. ---

I actually did prelude glitchless once (just because i can) and it was HARD. It took me about 5-6 hours to beat it eventhough ive gotten quite experienced at portal _lol_ Anyways this cake is great, the run is aswell (thanks to gocnak, I couldve never done this alone with a comparable time), i love how goc edited the (very boring) credits 🙂 cu, CBenni
