Portal 2 is one of Valve's best games - however, during the development of the highly anticipated sequel of Portal, the team originally had a different protagonist in mind to explore Aperture. This character was called Mel and she went through many versions of the story but was ultimately cut from the game.
Why was Mel cut? What story did Valve have in mind for her originally? What legacy did she leave? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the cut character of Mel in the Portal Series.
