I had a good idea that I would enjoy this Button Effect demo just from watching the trailer, and boy, did I! It has some of the vibe of games like The Witness or Sensorium, but with its own unique mechanic. The only interactive objects are buttons and there sure are a lot of buttons. However, the puzzle is figuring out how those buttons behave and how they interact with each other. Who knew buttons could be so fascinating?
