Curiosity is
your most
useful tool.

You are Michael “Mike” Rowan, an expedition engineer stranded on the far side of a silent portal.

Your crew is missing. The trail leads through living forests, inhabited terraces, and machines whose makers are long gone. Finding your way home begins with learning how this world works.

Inspired by classic adventure games, Beyond the Portal pairs illustrated scenery with inventive puzzles, meaningful conversations, and the quiet pleasure of figuring something out.
