Freebie Friday: Aperture Desk Job

Every Friday you can find a free game to check out, courtesy of Gamer Reverie. The genres and quality will vary, so be sure to check every week to see what I've dug up for you!


    This won't be a series with a ton of pictures and explanations. Just a glance at the stats, a quick description of the game and its genre, and why I thought it was worth sharing (aside from being free).

THE STATS

Name: Aperture Desk Job
Developer: Valve
Publisher: Valve
Release Date: March 1, 2022
Genres: Action, Adventure, Casual, Free to Play
Available: Steam


    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.

    Not Portal 3!

    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.




    I keep telling myself I'm going to download and play this because I absolutely loved the Portal games (particularly Wheatley in the second game). I look forward to some sassiness from Grady. I don't even care that the main purpose of this little game is just to be a tech demo for the Steam Deck. I'm here for the chaos, the sass, the destruction!
