** At first in Portal 1, this is somewhat misleading, as GLaDOS is still maintaining the test area (where the player spends the majority of his/her time in) where everything is as white and shiny as an iPod, everything that's supposed to move moves, and it seems to be all good, until the player finally reaches the last chamber where GLaDOS tries to kill you and you make your way through the unmaintained area, you finally get a sense of how long this place has been abandoned. Even more so in Portal 2 where, GLaDOS is dead, and the whole place is overrun by plants. But the area underground the more modern labs [[{{TheCakeIsALie}} takes the cake.]] By the look of things, it was used in the 1950s and abandoned much later. Not to mention that the announcer in the stasis chambers says that you've been in stasis for nine nine nine nine nine nine nine.... days. Which means you've been asleep for quite a while.

Along the way, as you travel across the lab, you will go from a relatively sanitary enviroment to one where it feels disgusting just stepping on the ground. Vats full of the specimens lie dormant or are deceased due to being failures (however, if they are less than human, expect them to break free to start munching on something), bits of TechnoWreckage lie about as you realize you are near the scientist or his ultimate creation, which will grant the following...

The Abandoned Laboratory is a common setting in SpeculativeFiction. But when you place it into a video game, it becomes quite the tour of science gone horribly wrong. If the character is at the lab at the event of the disaster instead of after the fact, expect a SurvivalHorror.
