Today only, Press Any Button is free on Steam—you can grab it, keep it forever, and play it as long as Valve doesn’t pull the plug on Steam itself.

This is a short, story-rich 2D game dressed up with arcade bits. Think of it as a meta experiment: narrative comes first, but you’ll also need fast reflexes to make it through the segments A-Eye throws at you.

A-Eye is the star here—a lonely artificial intelligence designed to crunch scientific data. Instead of doing that, he gets bored and decides to make a video game. Trouble is, he can’t draw, can’t compose music, and doesn’t know the first thing about design. He’s basically fumbling his way through creation, and you’re his guinea pig.

Over roughly an hour of play, you’ll critique his effort, stumble through his reflex-testing minigames, and piece together a story that veers between charming and heavy. Expect talk of life, death, rain, and dandelions. Expect something personal. And because it’s free right now, expect zero buyer’s remorse.

That's my favorite price!

Looks interesting, added to my library.
