About Escape from the Portal
Escape from the Portal sets you loose in gloomy catacombs beneath the world, with a single way out: a portal that only opens with magical artifacts. Getting them means exploring room by room, fighting the monsters that lurk in the dark and sidestepping traps, all while uncovering secrets from the past that are buried along the way.
Beyond walking and fighting, the game layers in several systems. A shop and an inventory let you manage what you carry, a hint key helps when a puzzle has you stuck, and magic can be bound to four quick slots so spells are ready in combat. The mood stays dark throughout, with a horror edge rather than a cheerful puzzle tone, and every passage can hold a new threat.

How to play Escape from the Portal
Objective
Collect the magical artifacts hidden in the catacombs and use them to open the portal, surviving the monsters and traps between you and the exit.
Controls
Desktop
- WASD: move through the catacombs
- E or left mouse button: use or interact with objects and enemies
- H: show a hint
- C: open the shop
- Tab: open the inventory
- 1 to 4: choose magic from the quick slots
Getting started
- Walk with WASD and get a feel for the first stretch of catacomb before heading deeper.
- Press E or the left mouse button to use objects you find and to strike at enemies.
- Open the inventory with Tab to see what you carry, and visit the shop with C to see what is on offer.
- Assign magic to the quick slots and fire it with keys 1 to 4 when monsters close in.
- Keep collecting magical artifacts while avoiding traps, and press H for a hint whenever the way forward is unclear.
Tips
- Set up the 1 to 4 magic slots before a fight starts, so spells are a single key press away when a monster appears.
- Press H when a room has you stuck instead of wandering in circles; the hint key exists for exactly those moments.
- Check the inventory with Tab after picking things up, since magical artifacts are what eventually open the portal.
- Move carefully through unfamiliar passages, because traps are one of the named dangers alongside the monsters.
