I'm not sure I understand, is the full gameplay loop just pressing the button? I think the button could use a sound effect to make it a bit more satisfying to press in that case.

I didn't really get it, But I like pushing buttons!

Story is good. Button needs a satisfying press sound, maybe a cherry mx blue style. Other than that a solid entry. I didn't encountered any bugs, so far. Still pressing the button on my second monitor ;)

It was quite interesting reading the random comments that kept appearing but unfortunately there's only so much fun to be had while pushing a seemingly useless button

The perfect game to end my rating session with. It is very late here and I was looking for a game where I could doze-off a bit ^^" The radio at the bottom was just like real life. Entertaining but depressing, good job emulating that ^^" Question (maybe I missed it) what is the counter at the right bottom?

What an absurd and futile game.

You do a really boring job for a while - and then you get fired.

:shrug:

I played this game all the way through three times. Just because I hoped that if I actually managed to press the button each time, I would get another ending than getting fired.

I didn't.

Instead, I found myself cheering when 998 people died of something uncomfortable, because it made my counter go down faster.

What an absurd and futile game.

I think the consept of the game is good, and as someone who enjoyes sad / depressing stories and the feeling of dread they tend to invoke I did follow the radio for a while, though I feel like this game could use some more polish, starting from the button itself. you can actually have the game being all about that button while still managing to keep it fun as demonstrated in this video:

maybe a bit of sound effects as well, but that's just me saying :smile:, also like how you kept the same characters from previous games it gives a sense of familiarity. I hope that you at least enjoyed your times making this game

Must push button.

I clicked the button more times than I care to admit. :sweat_smile:

I really expected to lose the game when I purposely didn't push the button for like 50 seconds straight, then pressed it with about 8 seconds left the next loop, but liked that instead there are just MANY more people lost. It made it feel more like my button presses meant something. There were quite a few typos, though, and I noticed I was getting the same prompts back a few times. Some of them were really funny though, like losing people to FF XIV 🤣 And you captured the mood quite well!

I really don't get this game. It just told me to press a red button. That's it.

@stingby12 this guy gets it
