Cave here. According to those uptight snobs in the PR department, my pre-recorded messages have been getting a little too... inappropriate lately. Apparently test subjects have been seen sat in the corner sucking their thumbs at the mere mention of that acid we put in the water cooler that melts your teeth. Suckers don't realise that sucking their thumbs will only make their thumbs melt too. Anyway from now on, to avoid terrifying our test subjects before they're even dead, all pre-recorded messages will strictly adhere to a script written by one of those prim and proper PR pansies. Starting now:

"Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science Innovators, here, with a brand new test chamber that's filled with fun, for science! Bean-counters tell me this test is our most non-lethal and perfectly safe one yet! Step inside and experience the wonderment of Propulsion Gel, or you're fired! Say 'I love science', Caroline" - alright I've had enough, who the hell wrote this? A hippie used-car salesman who ate too many rainbows? C'mon, nobody talks like that, especially if that nobody isn't me. I'll be back in a minute to do my own damn talking. In the meantime, I hear the sprinkler system in the PR department needs fixing. I reckon I can acid with that. Assist. What? Did I say acid? I meant assist. Sorry, script threw me off. Cave Johnson, we're done here... for now.

I've been in a bit of a creative slump recently. I've been getting very frustrated trying to make very ambitious and complex test chambers which never seem to work out, and sit unpublished, gathering dust. I've been very upset, and have felt unappreciated and untalented. I thought I'd solve that problem by going back to basics, and making an easy test chamber in the style of my tests from a few years ago. It was a cathartic experience, and I feel a lot better now.

So, welcome to Catharsis, an easy-medium puzzle focusing on an orange funnel and propulsion gel. I really hope it's as refreshing for you to play as it was for me to build.
