Today I've made the difficult decision to push The Button Effect's launch back to Q1 2027 – there's a lot left to tweak, test and polish. I need more time. ⌛️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/229...

I recently tried the demo of this on Steam, and I’m very excited for the release. It gave me the same feeling as Antichamber, where things start simple but become increasingly interesting and creative in a really satisfying way.
