A brief, self-aware tutorial comedy where you sit at a desk and perform absurd tasks with a cheerful, low-stakes tone.

What players say
Players call this a Steam Deck hardware showcase rather than a full game, taking about 30 minutes to finish. It is praised for its humorous Portal-themed writing and voice acting by Nate Bargatze, though a few note gyro controls may not work with regular controllers.
