Different cultures have different tastes. That’s a given, and will always result in slight differences in game ratings. But what’s just happened to 3DS game Dead or Alive: Dimensions is too strange to overlook.

This is Outside Aperture, a fan flick based on the aftermath of the first Portal game. It makes the assumption that, rather than being dragged back into Aperture, hero Chell escapes and finds a new home. Where she can bake. It was made by these guys, and really, get a cup of tea and settle…
