Don't Touch this Button! is a minimalistic puzzle game with a first-person point of view.
Players navigate a series of first-person rooms by systematically disobeying on-screen text instructions. Each challenge presents a warning or directive that demands deliberate contradiction, creating a playful psychological puzzle where the solution always lies in doing exactly what you're told not to do.
The 66 rooms offer wildly different challenges. One moment, players might solve a puzzle by stepping on a forbidden floor tile; the next, they'll trigger a button by completely avoiding it. Some puzzles require keen visual observation, like noticing an incongruous object or subtle environmental clue that contradicts the written warning.
Designed for puzzle newcomers, the challenges strike a delicate balance between too easy and frustratingly obscure. Most players solve rooms within minutes, experiencing a quick dopamine hit of satisfaction when they decode the intentional misdirection.
Players blast through the entire experience in roughly an hour, with each room lasting just moments. The rapid-fire puzzle sequence keeps players consistently engaged, preventing mental fatigue or boredom.
First-person movement feels crisp and responsive. Players can run by holding shift and navigate using standard WASD controls. The final levels introduce light platforming elements, slightly increasing mechanical complexity.
Minimalist environments use abstract, geometric spaces with a clean, futuristic aesthetic. A single background soundtrack provides atmospheric accompaniment without overwhelming the puzzle-solving experience.
Despite being a single-playthrough experience, speedrunners have discovered multiple route optimizations, creating an unexpected competitive layer to the seemingly straightforward game.
This compact puzzle experience delivers clever psychological challenges through consistent, witty subversion of player expectations.
