Aperture Desk Job is a video game developed Valve, and released for Windows, SteamOS, and Linux on March 1, 2022.[1] It was made as a tech demo that showcases the controller functions of the Steam Deck hybrid console.[2] The game is set in the Portal universe.
Gameplay
The gameplay consists of product inspection aided by Grady, a "core" much like many others seen in the Portal franchise. The game serves as a tech demo for the Steam Deck, with most of the game taking place in front of a desk that acts as an in-world representation of the console. A few different scenarios are used to test different functions of the controls, such as a shooting segment making use of gyroscopic control, or a situation where the player must write their name making use of the Steam Deck's touchscreen.[3]
Development
Aperture Desk Job was developed internally at Valve alongside the Steam Deck. The game is built in Valve's in-house engine, Source 2.[citation needed]
