"In 2008, the largest particle accelerator ever created, the LHC at CERN's particle physics lab in Switzerland, was activated for the first time. The research obtained from this experiment has revolutionized the way we think about science. Un-answered questions that have puzzled man since the dawn of humanity are finally being answered. Are there extra dimensions? What is dark matter? Is time travel possible? Epsilon Experimental Sciences Research Facility aims to discover the potential of this whole new world of science, and you have been appointed as the primary test participant."


Going with what seems to be the current trend, I've made my version of a portal game. The challenges are based around solving tasks using various fictional technologies discovered as the result of the LHC experiment, primarily wormhole manipulation. Other methods include gravity shift, time reversal, and general cognitive dexterity.


I started this a while back and planned on coinciding it with the release of Valve's Portal, which coincidentally was around the same time CERN was planning to activate the particle accelerator. Unfortunately Epsilon still wasn't ready by the time Portal came out and the LHC still hasn't been switched on, so I decided to leave it until now.


Thanks to Geier Arnold for the original soundtrack, and for tirelessly helping out in the beta testing process.


NOTE: If you are experiencing problems with lag while freezing the ball, try turning off the ghost rooms by pressing G.

Warp time and space in this hypnotic physics-based portal puzzle-game inspired by CERN's Large Hadron Collider!

In Epsilon, your goal is to propel a small silver ball through increasingly challenging and maze-like levels, collecting glowing "tokens" before you can warp to the next level. To complete each level, you may have to create wormholes, invert gravity, and stop (or even reverse) time itself. The levels are very well crafted and progress in difficulty at an even pace - the later levels are a satisfying challenge!

The design of this game is immaculate - the clean UI, the scintillating and detailed graphics, the cerebral music - what a masterpiece! Highly recommended.

Great game, sometimes I get a white screen.

Been years.

Very good game! The only problem that clicking Abort and clicking yes will freeze the game.

The game works. I just can't get past Level 1c. I just don't get it.

Amazing game. I especially love how your cursor can go through the portals.
