Looking for the name of a game with time portal mechanics

Hello,

I've been looking for a few days now, but I can't seem to find the name of this game.

I remember some years ago (3y+) I saw a let's player play a 3d puzzle game in which the main game mechanic was to open portals that went back in time.

The game world was in ruins and you had to solve the puzzles by either jumping through a portal back before everything got trashed, or to look back in time for clues. I'm very possibly getting some of the details wrong since it's quite some time since I've seen it, and i only have vague memories of it.

I can't remember who played the game, but it might have been some of the Yogscast guys, possibly Sips or Duncan

If anyone can remember anything about this game that would be wonderful, I'm planning on using something similar in a 3D project I'm working on and I'm looking for inspiration.

I have tried to google this, but it seems my google-fu is not as good as I would like to think, all I can find it

Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the portal looks like a window to the past, so when you look through it the walls line, but the texture, lighting and other objects are different/changed. So you would see both timelines at the same time, if that makes sence.

Edit2: u/intercedes8k found what I was looking for, it's a game called Void

I don't know the game but Here's a list of games involving time travel. Hopefully you'll find it in there

I can't seem to find anything with that name, google is just giving me Far Cry Primal and a Minecraft build. Do you by chance have a link for it?

There was a dungeon near the end of Darksiders 2 where you gained the ability to open portals that would take you back in time. There were sections of the dungeon that could only be accessed at certain time periods. The dungeon is in ruins in the present and new in the past.

I'm very certain that it was not Darksiders, I'm pretty sure it was a non-combative game, but I'll have a look at it, thanks.

There was a mod for portal 2 on steam which had a similar idea, I'll see if I can find it...

I think I remember this as well.... This all took place in some kind of mansion or palace, correct?
