Don't push the button

[Monsieur OUXX]

I'm stuck in the game, I can't seem to find the red button. How do I find it? Does it have something to do with the countdown?

that part of the game is really really tricky, I hope someone writes a complete walkthrough including all unlockables soon.

I've taken the time to write a complete walkthrough.

But how long to you have to perform the second action before you win the game?

Not push WHICH button?!??!  I'm so confused.  There are too many layers to this game.

Because you must "not push" it, then mathematically speaking it's every button in the universe. Are you up to the task?

[CaptainD]

But... is there a special technique involved?  I mean, if I just nonchalantly ignore the button and refuse to press it, am I playing the game as well as if I, for instance, stare longingly at the button for a few minutes, finger poised to press it, but finally break free and don't press it?  What if I pretend the button isn't there, does that count?  What if the button is an illusion, or if the button is real but I am an illusion?  Are all buttons considered equal when not pressed?

[Monsieur OUXX]

Watch out, because not thinking of not pushing the button is almost like thinking of pushing it!

[Ghost]

Trying out a new approach after reading CaptainDs last response, I pressed my finger against the screen like, really hard.
My screen broke and now there is no way for me to EVER press the button.
Does that count as "won the game"? I'd check but, well, my SCREEN IS BROKEN and I can't see the end credits.

This thread is full of spoilers. I assume there is a countdown and a button later in the game. Not quite there yet. I am stuck on:

Appreciate any help.

@Ghost - Interesting use of the interface.  I think the next version of the game will support touch-screen though, so while it worked well for the current version, I don't think future players will be able to replicate your success.  (Hope the new screen doesn't cost too much. )

@Gurok - I don't remember this part of the game very well, there was so much depth to the game that the earlier parts are a little hazy in my mind, but I think you need to

NOT double-click the executable.

Hope this helps!

That helped a lot Captain. In fact I THINK you have just unfolded a new layer of the metagame. DON'T BUY THE MONITOR!

Apparently some people were encountering a bug that was preventing them from finishing the game.
It's been fixed. Get the finishable game here : http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=50034.msg636483592#msg636483592
