Difference between revisions of "Aperture Desk Job"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Changed Xbox prompts to false, and changed the notes. As a reminder: Aperture Desk Job does *not* have any sort of Button Prompts, and the in-game Desk mirrors Steam Deck prompts (both Triggers and Bumpers in-game button icons makes it obvious), NOT Xbox prompts.)
