About the Game

Push the button

Simple, right? —until it isn’t.

Please Push The Button is a punchy puzzle-platformer wrapped in tongue-in-cheek corporate satire. What if The Stanley Parable ran Apeture Science but they made buttons?

Each test is designed by the ever-cheerful (and slightly unhinged) Push Experience Test Engine—P.E.T.E.—you’ll step into a series of increasingly absurd test chambers. What begins as a basic pedestal and button quickly evolves into physics-bending arenas filled with moving platforms, light walls, laser grids, and more.

It’s all part of the “standard” testing protocol—we think?

Every room is designed to surprise: one moment you’re vaulting a pit on a narrow catwalk, the next you’re manipulating switches mid-air to open locked doors. Along the way, P.E.T.E. dishes out commentary that’s as helpful as it is sardonic, turning each success (and spectacular failure) into part of the show. And because nothing in testing is ever straightforward, there are multiple endings to unlock—ranging from heroic escape to a very transformative journey.

Key Features

  • Handcrafted Test Chambers: From simple pedestals to death-defying traps, every room offers a fresh twist.

  • Humorous Narration by P.E.T.E.: A snarky computerized host who takes testing to the extreemes.

  • Progressive Puzzle-Platforming: Master jumps, levers, lasers, light walls, timed platforms, and more as complexity ramps up.

  • Multiple Endings & Secrets: Discover hidden paths and secret achievements that reveal the true nature of the testing and hints at a darker side to P.E.T.E.

  • Streamer-Friendly Design: Bite-sized levels, frantic fails, and hilarious commentary—perfect for sharing epic moments.

  • Sleek, Minimalist Aesthetic: Clean, clinical environments punctuated by high-contrast lighting and bold UI cues.
