Aperture Desk Job reimagines the been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators and puts them in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things. You play as an entry-level nobody on their first day at work — your heart full of hope and your legs full of dreams, eager to climb that corporate ladder. But life’s got other plans, and they all involve chairs. Designed as a free playable short for Valve’s new Steam Deck, Desk Job walks you through the handheld’s controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds. Lower your expectations: This is not a sequel to Portal. Now get ready to raise them slightly, because it is in the expanded universe of those games. Desk Job puts you squarely in the driver’s seat at Aperture Science. Then quickly removes the driving part and adds a desk in front of the seat.

a. outing yourself as a Steam Deck owner
b. trying to criticize a tooth paste for not giving you fresh breath
c. wanting and not-wanting Portal 3 so badly, you are torn apart by this paradox
This game is a tech-demo and a joke at the same time, nothing more. Play it or leave it, you are not missing anything. On the other hand, it has a snackable length and if you have time to kill, just put it on your screen like a Rick and Morty episode. It does it’s job in teaching you the Steam Deck controls and expanding the Portal-universe for three more minutes. And it’s free, which is the smartest move to gain criticizing immunity. Well done Valve and now get back to your regular (Aperture) Desk Job.
