Leaked Portal prequel F-Stop compiled into playable game

A playable version of F-Stop, Valve's canceled Portal prequel, has been pieced together by leakers, according to The Verge and Engadget.⁠[1, 2] The Verge reported that most assets came from a 12-terabyte leak that dropped in August.⁠[2]

That leak did not include the game's source code or map data; The Verge reported those final pieces hit the Valve Cut Content Discord this week, allowing a nearly complete version.⁠[2] Engadget described the rough compiled version as the closest thing to a release of the game.⁠[1]
