Focus Home Interactive isn't Valve, and neither for that matter is Frogwares, but that hasn't stopped the pair making a puzzle action game following in the footsteps of Portal. And why should it? Magrunner's an interesting spin on what's become a well-worn genre, throwing in some knowingly cheesy sci-fi dialogue and sprinkling in some Lovecraftian lore that helps distinguish the sterile setting.
