What Aperture Desk Job is
Aperture Desk Job is an adventure game developed by Valve and released in 2022. It is available on Linux and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Source 2.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
Where it sits in the Portal series
Aperture Desk Job is the 16th of 18 entries we hold in the Portal series. It arrived 2 years after Bridge Constructor Portal: Portal Proficiency. The next entry was Portal: Companion Collection in 2022.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 42 min. Completing everything takes closer to 1 hrs, roughly 1.4 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Core i5-7500 / Ryzen 5 1600, 12 GB RAM and GTX 1060 / RX 580 - 6GB VRAM. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 4GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Aperture Desk Job launched on 1 March 2022, within three weeks of Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Tunic and Sifu.
Released around the same time: Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Tunic, Sifu.
