description:


      
        Aperture Science was home to many mysteries, twisted unethical experiments, and countless OSHA violations. After the inevitable fall of this facility and the death of the personnel, the phrase, “The cake is a lie”, was discovered hastily scribbled within the secured maintenance areas of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.

What did this phrase mean? How did it connect to Aperture’s turbulent history, and was the cake truly a lie? In this video, we explore the lore, story, and mythos behind the cake in Portal.
