Played with HTC Vive headset and Knuckles (Index Controllers)
Yeah I mean it's 15 min (if even), and worth playing if you can, though it's my least favourite of Valves tech demos, it also defintley feels the most like a tech demo as well. I felt the writing defintley felt close to the quality Valve reaches but it still fell short. Apeture Desk Job is a slightly longer demo and had what I'd consider the same quality of writing that the rest of the Portal series is able to do so Valve is still clearly able to be as good, though honestly I don't know who wrote for either game.
Either way theres really not much to say here, it's a funny game, shows off the Index controllers, looks nice. Not much more to say honestly.
(The biggest impact this game had on me was when the Index was revealed and pictures of this game showed up early on the steam store and I thought it'd be a actual game not a tech demo, how foolish I can be)

If you have an Index sure why not
pretty decent demo, it is a lot of fun and it has pretty good humour but it just feels like valve is showing off more than anything which is the vibe I get from most of their demos
this did not work correctly on my quest 2. i had to find and activate a custom community controller binding for it to work and even then it was kinda awkward. afterwards i had to go into the actual config file for steamvr and delete the lines of code that activated that custom binding because it wouldnt unload from any other game i tried. ended up spending an hour trying to get this 5 minute game to work
