5 Truly Insane Video Game Theories (That Are Clearly True)

5. Portal 2 - Chell Is Cave And Caroline's Daughter

Portal 1 & 2 are generally regarded as two of the greatest video games ever made. Quite the feat for what started off as a miniscule production designed by less than 20 people. A large amount of Portal’s appeal and fan following however, stems not from it’s signature portal based gameplay, but from its host of unique and colourful characters.

It’s surprising then, that Portal’s least fleshed out character is its protagonist, Chell. Portal’s mysteriously mute hero, she has been given hardly any concrete backstory in the world of Portal. At least, not officially. Enter this theory, one supposing that Chell is none other than the Daughter of Aperture Science founder Cave Johnson and Caroline, more famously known as the basis for GLaDOS’ AI.

With evidence including Chell’s name being found on an Aperture ‘bring your kid to work day’ science project, GLaDOS’ strangely maternal instincts towards Chell, and Cave and Caroline’s sketchy-but-believably intimate relationship.

One theory of many to be found in the Portal series, and perhaps the one with the most evidence in favour of it’s believability, it would go far in fleshing out Portal’s unfortunately least interesting character.
