About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Set in a pocket universe of Aperture Science, The Lab offers a wide range of ways to enjoy VR, all in one application.
Slingshot
- Begin your career as a Calibration Trainee by recklessly destroying everything in the Aperture Storage Annex using the Core Calibration slingshot.
Longbow
- Use your archery skills to defend your noble castle gate from a rampaging but adorable and equally noble horde of attackers.
Xortex
- Are you a bad enough dude to become a Xortex ace? Relive the golden era of gaming -- only this time, it's all around you.
Postcards
- Visit exotic, far-off locales from the comfort of your own head.
Human Medical Scan
- Explore the intricate beauty of the human body through a highly detailed model created from a series of CT medical scans.
Solar System
- Why watch shows about the vast majesty of space when you can jump in and see it for yourself? Have educational space-fun while putting Neil Degrasse-Tyson out of business.
Robot Repair
- Can you repair a robot? Good, because Aperture Science's Human Diversity Outreach Program is now hiring.
Secret Shop
- The fantasy equivalent of a twenty-four-hour convenience store is now open for business! Peruse artifacts, shop for familiars and cast a spell or two at Dota's Secret Shop!
