Arts and crafts Portal X Backrooms Crossover Art
Due to the recent Portal leak, as well as the fact that Kane Parsons would like to make a Portal movie (and was inspired by Portal when creating the Backrooms movie), I wanted to draw everyone's attention to these Portal X Backrooms crossover art pieces I’ve found across various platforms, Sources for said art are in a reply below this.

I thought it was more personal than just telling people I liked stuff.

"Alright, so some of you might have heard that we are running out of space to build our Science Spheres. Apparently if we use any more explosives to make more, the whole thing might collapse on us. So, I had the lab boys cook something up. The "Backrooms" or something. Basically just an endless series of rooms, but I think we can make it work. Now we still don't know if it's entirely safe yet, the first test subjects we sent haven't returned, so keep your head on a swivel, and let's do some science!"

Honestly, I remember how I and my friend were discussing about this film, and I compared Async to Aperture Science
Like ... As for me, In scale of what they do - the transition from MRI machines to a whole separate dimension that permeates reality(?) looks very similar how Aperture gone from shower curtains to portals etc.

Cave already has infinite universes to exploit... ... ...but yeah, he'd totally go for this too. Probably try to find the backrooms in the money universe to have double infinite money.

Damn Backrooms are so messed up and bad Chell would rather be back at actual Aperture Labs under GLaDOS’ surveillance

I love idea of the Backrooms not understanding the difference of a mechanical being and an organic one

Ok so if a surface is partially absorbed into a wall and you shoot a portal at it could you escape from one end or would the portal be cut in half?

This is an amazing concept. I'd play something like this in a heartbeat.

I was sent here from the Portal modding Discord talking about how hot they thought GLaDOS was
