A first-person, narrative-driven game featuring The Developer, who questions, taunts, and tests you at every turn. You shouldn’t press the button, but you’ll want to. You will have control, and you will have none. Power is in your hands... or is it? Inspired by classic narrative driven games.

About

The demo for our latest project THE MILGRAM EXPERIMENT is live! Play on Steam now!
A loving tribute to classic first person narrative games and obscure Source engine mods.
Are you tired of playing games that actually make sense? Are you craving something that's equal parts walking, existential crisis, and jokes about the very fact that you paid money to experience an existential crisis? Well, do I have something for you!
Presenting DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON: a walking simulator where the walking is optional, the simulation is questionable, and the comedy is 100% guaranteed to make you chuckle awkwardly while questioning all your life choices.
Is there a deep, philosophical meaning to this game?
Who knows! Probably not! But it will definitely pretend there is, and you’ll go along with it, because you’re curious like that.
Revolutionary mechanics?
Let’s just say, if you’ve ever wanted to press buttons with absolutely no clue what they do, THIS is your game.
Inspired by classic narrative-driven games, Do Not Press The Button (Or You'll Delete The Multiverse) challenges the conventions of storytelling and player agency, inviting players into a universe where every action leads to unexpected (and often humorous) consequences.
This is Theseus Games' third title, and by now, we've specialized in the advanced field of wacky game mechanics. After all, our previous releases include Pizza Synthwave and Be a Rock. For a more complete and in-depth understanding of what Do Not Press The Button is, check out the free demo.
In this game you will have the choice of how to play and what to do, it’s about you and your misdirected shenanigans against The Developer.
We are looking for the person that can set the record for not pressing the button the longest. Don't forget to annoy The Developer along the way! Estimated gameplay time: up to 1 billion years (or however long human civilization lasts).

Look, we're not asking you to solve complex equations here. You just have to not press a button. It's an average job for an average person. You've trained all your life for this moment. Go in there and shine my little mediocre moth!
P.S. "I have no idea what I'm doing with my life anymore!" - The Dev

Reviews
Genuinely funny game, similar to The Stanley Parable with a lot of meta jokes
能够看出《本游戏与大红按钮无关》和《史丹利的寓言》之间的关系,并且这款游戏能够理解成是对史丹利的寓言拙略的模仿。游戏更多像是探索包含独特主题和互动小游戏的数个房间,而非史丹利那样与旁白以及房间的互动。内容上刚开始还能体验到制作组试图在游戏里加入哲学相关的内容,但到了后期完全开始放飞自我,变得无厘头起来。流程较短且没有给玩家选择的空间,制作组似乎很喜欢这样的单向秀。总之,不是很推荐
可笑的是,全篇大红按钮他就出现了两次,很符合中文译名“与大红按钮无关”,除此之外呢?
This game tries so hard to be something it could never compare to, and falls flat in every facet of writing, gameplay, and pacing. I had high hopes when this game was announced, but after playing it I'm offended I even paid the discounted release price.
Fun stuff, charming and quirky.
IT DESERVS TO BE OVERWELLMINGLY POSETIV
It is a fun idea for a game, but it just feels so unfinished and unpolished, specially for the price. And i just had to stop because i couldn't take more of the narrator talking:/ The running is also very slow, making it frustrating to navigate the long hallways, like walking through mud.
What an awesome game, funny, fun, light hearted, no stress and sweet.
I really really liked this game! Some of the bugs are hard to deal with, like I got all the cakes right and I didn't get the achievement. Or running isn't really running, or sometimes in the annoying things room, things fall through the floor. BUT It kind of added to that charm because, well, it was really really annoying. Wish I could go my own previous saves to retry is it cake to get that achievement, but you know, it's probably pointless anyway. I love the duck. I love the toasters, and ♥♥♥♥ the tables.
Its a great game with secrets all over very humourous and creative.
