About The Button
The Button is an adult visual novel made with Ren'Py by Burst Out Games. It uses animated 3D CG art and plays as a sci-fi romance with humor. You are a 40-year-old divorced man whose daughters, ex-wife, coworkers, and acquaintances surround you. A stranger gives you a wrist device that lets you tap The Button to alter what just happened. Each incident can be changed only once, and the result may be better or worse, while every use cuts four months from your lifespan.
The current build is Tap 12, released June 24, 2026, and development is ongoing. It is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English, without censorship. The listed update history shows earlier Taps adding content and correcting dialogue, with Tap 8 also including dialogue fixes. The latest release continues the game’s episodic structure around the risky choice of pressing the device.
Developer's description
The only real question is... how many times will you tap The Button? Out of the blue a mysterious man gives you a watch-like wrist device. He tells you that with it you can change the outcome of any situation that just happened. All you have to do, is tap The Button . However, you can only use it once for every incident, and there's no way to tell if it'll turn out for better or worse. Oh yeah, and every time you use it, your overall lifespan will be shortened by 4 months. As a seemingly normal 40 year old divorced man with 3 wildly different daughters, an exasperating ex-wife, a bunch of insufferable colleagues, and some shady acquaintances... the only real question is... how many times will you tap The Button ?
