An Immersive Showcase for Steam Deck
Aperture Desk Job is a free action game set in the Portal universe, designed to showcase the features of Valve's Steam Deck. As an interactive experience, it allows players to explore a beautifully crafted world filled with engaging elements, highlighting the console's unique control schemes and hardware capabilities. While it can be played on PCs, the game truly shines on the Steam Deck, making it an essential experience for owners of the handheld device. The game combines a sci-fi aesthetic reminiscent of Portal 2, offering players a glimpse into an industrial yet futuristic environment.
In Aperture Desk Job, players assume the role of an entry-level desk worker on their first day, embracing a 'walking simulator' format that focuses on exploration rather than narrative. While the game lacks a traditional story, it provides a delightful and immersive experience, with high attention to detail in sound effects and music. However, the game's design caters primarily to the Steam Deck, as it does not support keyboard and mouse controls, resulting in a shorter playthrough compared to other titles.
