Evaluation

Please, Don't Touch Anything launched on March 26, 2015 with 16 puzzles and has been updated several times over its life. The developer added 6 new endings in May 2015 and 3 more in December 2015, bringing the total to 25 enigmas. A 3D spin-off was released in December 2016. After nearly a decade of quiet, the publisher ForwardXP shipped a significant "2025 Refresh Update" on July 29, 2025, modernizing the game's engine (GameMaker), updating platform support for Windows 10/11 and modern Apple Silicon Macs, and fixing a variety of long-standing bugs. Crucially, that post closed with: "We've got a few ideas..." — a clear signal that the team is considering further additions. Two follow-up patches arrived in September 2025 (September 24 and September 26), continuing to address bugs and adding quality-of-life improvements like asynchronous achievement notifications and a Linux build update. The most recent developer communication was on September 26, 2025, and the overall pattern since July 2025 shows active engagement with the game. The "few ideas" remark, combined with ongoing patch activity, indicates the game is being actively maintained and potentially expanded, though no specific new content has been formally announced.

About this game


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 since you’ve clearly been instructed not to touch anything, the only thing you want to do now is push that damn button.

Push it and expect to be held liable for any unintended aftermath. And there will be many.
