    Your buddy leaves you in front of this giant panel with a single red button and advises you not to touch anything. Ah-ha, yeah, RIGHT!

    Music and atmosphere is great and unique, the only real disappointment - game length, it took me 2 hours to get all the endings, and have figured 15/16 endings by myself, but for what it costs you should definitely check this game if you like point-and-click style with a 16 bit music and cryptic messages.    … Expand

    Very well executed for the type of game it claims and tries to be.
    The soundtrack and flair makes it super immersive, just like Papers, Please. Those are completely different games of course but the art style is the same.
    The game could do with some more hinting though. Even for the first few riddles I wasn't sure what was expected from me. The number equation for the I II III buttons    Very well executed for the type of game it claims and tries to be.

    The game could do with some more hinting though. Even for the first few riddles I wasn't sure what was expected from me.
    The number equation for the I II III buttons was reversed for instance, though you can find the solution for that somewhere else really. That makes it really confusing.

    The formula at the bottom had me google how to solve such an equation... though that wasn't necessary.
    And then of course, it wouldn't hurt to give the user a hint that some endings give hints to other riddles.

    If I had known these things early, I would have had much more fun.    … Expand

    From the simplest concept, one of the (casual) games I enjoyed playing the most.

    As the exact opposite of what the game title reads, this game is about trying to mess with with the higher amount of things possible on the board, reading the hints, deducing the hints, guessing with almost no hints to obtain up to 25 different "unique" endings with lots of Easter eggs and general, simple    From the simplest concept, one of the (casual) games I enjoyed playing the most.

    As the exact opposite of what the game title reads, this game is about trying to mess with with the higher amount of things possible on the board, reading the hints, deducing the hints, guessing with almost no hints to obtain up to 25 different "unique" endings with lots of Easter eggs and general, simple fun.
    Art style/realization, music and audio effects are perfectly blended with each other and give the player a very good gaming experience (and the soundtrack is somewhat good, nothing stellar, but definitely good and, again, perfectly fitting with the rest of the art style).

    There are actually no negative aspects of this game, because if it was "longer" it would have been too long (to complete the game, without the "perfectionist" achievement it takes roughly from 2~3 to 5~7 hours depending on how good you are at reading the hints), if it was fancier you'd probably have lost the unique pixel feeling and a full-price tag of 5€ is just the perfect price for what you get.

    Again there are no reason not to recommend this game to everyone, play it and enjoy.    … Expand

    If you're looking for a puzzle game that will make you both laugh and jump, I can easily recommend Please, Don't Touch Anything, even if you've played the original. For $15, you get hours of gameplay in a polished experience, which is a steal compared to most of the other expensive titles on the Oculus Store. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

    Ask yourself a question: "Am I ready to blow my mind in order to achieve sixteen micro-endings?" If you answer is "Yes", and you feel an everlasting love for puzzles, then you can consider the idea of buying Please Don't Touch Anything. Otherwise, you should consider other alternatives.

    The concept is original, but the execution doesn't get too far. Some of the puzzles are so complicated to become frustrating, and the humour that permeates the production doesn't deliver the fun it's expected to.
