First 20 Minutes: Quantum Conundrum
If you’re anything like us here at GodisaGeek.com, you have been waiting a while to see what the next game will be to come forth from one of the minds that brought us the excellent, genre-defining, Portal series of games. Can lighting strike twice? Will Miss. Swift’s new game, Quantum Conundrum, be the next Portal? Only time can truly answer that question but there is one thing we can do while we wait to be told; watch the first twenty or so minutes of Quantum Conundrum; the recently released first person action puzzler.
The plot of the game is simple, you play as a twelve year-old boy, the nephew of the slightly mad inventor Professor Fitz Quadwrangle (voiced by John De Lancie, who Stargate SG1 fans will know as NID Colonel Frank Simmons). Things soon take a turn for the worse as there’s a power-cut in the mansion and you’re the only one who can help your uncle out; much to his dismay.
Check out the video below, take a look at some of the puzzles that you’ll be asked to play through during the first twenty minutes of the game, and I’m sure you’ll be able to see the possibilities of Quantum Conundrum; not to mention how badly you’ll inevitably want to play it too:
Quantum Conundrum, published by Square Enix and developed by Airtight Games (yes, the people that developed Dark Void), is out now on Steam for a mere £9.99, but you should already know that because you should have been on the Steam page buying it after the first five minutes of the video.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
