Can you tell what kind of polyhedron this is?

it's clearly an icosphere. Is this concept art for a portal game? Looks like it.

I recognize it as a screenshot from the actual game - somewhere close to the beginning of the "the fall" chapter

I think they used the spheres as a way to not have to load a giant skybox for every level, especially on 7th gen consoles

It is clearly and obviously and n-sided polyhedron for the specific case where n is finite and non-zero.
