Valve has announced Aperture Desk Job, a “free playable short” set in the Portal universe that’s been designed to help players get to grips with the new Steam Deck. Valve describes Aperture Desk Job as a game that re-imagines the “been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators” and puts players “in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things.” In Aperture Desk Job, you’ll play as an entry-level employee on their first day working for Aperture Science. Your job is a product inspector and while it’s not entirely certain how that’ll play out in the game, the trailer makes us think it’s not going to be the smoothest process. You can watch the short trailer for yourself below: Managing expectations, Valve explicitly states that Aperture Desk Job is “not a sequel to Portal”.
