TL;DR

A new three-map mod for Portal 2 uses non-euclidean geometry and gravity shifts to mimic M. C. Escher's art.

Jack Phoenix released a Portal 2 mod called Escher's Dream. The project consists of three maps that use non-euclidean design to create impossible spaces. Players use portals and green gel to shift gravity axes and loop through rooms. The mod focuses on repositioning the player to navigate these warped environments. Rock Paper Shotgun notes that the experience is short but provides fresh level design for the aging Source game. Read the full report at Rock Paper Shotgun.
