It took me a while to figure that out. There are a bunch of those and it
gets confusing pretty quickly especially since you can walk up walls and on
ceilings. Go through a couple of one-way portals and turn everything upside
down, and your orientation gets thrown way off. Definitely a unique
gameplay feature (trick) but it can get tedious.
I loved the opening scene in the Native American bar (worst... Indian...
Casino.... ever!) where I played the video slots (and was winning!) and
changed channels on the TV where there were a couple of really odd programs
playing, and where real rock songs (Heart, Ted Nugent, BOC) were playing on
the juke box as it showed the album covers.. I loved those touches.
But having just finished Quake 4, overall I'm not impressed or excited by
Prey. It feels so much like Q4 and even Doom3, dark spaceship interiors
inhabited by aliens, and even mimics the Q4
humans-shackled-and-mutilated-by-alien-machinery shtick.
meh, I'm halfway through the demo and unless something really unique pops up
in the second half, I'm going to hold off. I just got HL2 Episode One and
am going back to cruise around City 17 for a while with my gravity gun! :)
Veech

There's a portal in the little archway you have to crouch to pass through,
but it only works from one side.

figure out where it goes from there.
