Please, Don’t Touch Anything is a cryptic, brain-racking button-pushing simulation. Covering for a colleague who is taking a bathroom break, you find yourself in front of a mysterious panel which only component is a red button.

And there will be many. FEATURES 25 devious enigmas Singular pixel art Atmospheric chiptune soundtrack Steam Cards Achievements

Press Quotes

“At a time when I'm feeling a bit exhausted by half-finished behemoths, all with tangled lists of planned features, unfolding Please, Don't Touch Anything's little machine was pleasantly isolating and captivating.” 7/10 – PC Gamer “I originally decided to give this game a quick look before bedtime and ended up 2 hours later hunched over the computer in dim lamp light surrounded by hastily scribbled out math.” 8/10 – TechRaptor “Only once in a blue moon do the stars align…
