Overview
The Button is a 3D dating sim for players who like family-focused corruption stories with a mix of humor and consequence. It plays out with a wry, unpredictable tone rather than a straightforward romance.
Story
A stranger hands an ordinary 40-year-old divorced man a device that can undo the outcome of anything that just happened, with one catch: each use can only be triggered once per event, the result is never guaranteed to be better, and every tap costs him four months of his life. Living with his three very different daughters, a difficult ex-wife, and an assortment of colleagues and shady acquaintances, he has to decide how much of his remaining life he's willing to spend trying to fix things.
Gameplay
Play unfolds through everyday situations at home and work, where choices lead to outcomes the player can choose to accept or reverse using The Button. Each reversal is a gamble, pushing relationships and story branches in new directions while quietly draining the protagonist's lifespan, so every tap carries weight beyond the immediate scene.
Features
- Branching outcomes driven by a single reversible action with a permanent cost
- A cast built around family and workplace tension rather than a wide dating pool
- 3D character art with an animated, sci-fi-tinged everyday setting
- Tone that blends humor with slow-building corruption themes
Installation
1. Extract and run.
