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.

Very fun and silly game! I remember liking it, but I don't remember it very well. Maybe a replay is necessary?

There isn't much I can really say about this one other than I think it's hilarious, I still love the writing for the Portal universe a lot and I'm really holding out hope for Portal 3, I really wish this game had been longer because I was very invested start to finish!

Tutorial Game für dein Steam Deck. Wo ist welcher Knopf und was kann das Teil eigentlich sonst so? Der Humor erinnert an Portal. Super kurz, also ein kleiner Spaß für Zwischendurch.

This is a short, delightful game! If you enjoy Portal and Portal 2, this is a great story interlude. It's intended to show off the Steam Deck, I believe, but I was able to play it with a controller and still enjoy every minute! It lacks the puzzles that make the Portal games great, but it's still an engaging and delightful narrative.

A cute and quirky intro to the Steam Deck, but still playable on PC w/ controller. It's only about a half hour long, and gives you a fun bit of lore behind a fan-favorite character of the Portal franchise. Like the rest of the series, it has good dialogue and is quirky/witty. It's meant to just demo the Steam Deck, but I still recommend goofing on the PC with it if you're a fan of Portal and just wanna have a quick chuckle.
