Don't Press It

About the Game

DON’T PRESS IT is a cooperative multiplayer game of physics-driven chaos, communication, and systemic survival for 4–8 players.

The ship is falling apart. The alarms won’t stop. Information is scattered across different rooms, and it doesn’t always reach everyone intact. While you struggle to keep the systems running, one of you has been chosen as the President: trapped inside a malfunctioning suit, unable to walk properly—and unable to speak.

If the President dies, everyone loses.

Carry him through the ship, protect him from explosions, decompression, and human error, and bring him to stations where his exclusive information can reveal what needs to be done. The President will have to communicate through gestures, signals, emojis, and an extremely annoying little bell.

Every match throws a different combination of failures, systems, and decisions at your crew:

• Split up tasks and communicate through proximity voice chat.

• Repair systems as the ship becomes increasingly dangerous.

• Piece together information scattered across screens, manuals, and stations.

• Physically transport the President: drag him, carry him, or strap him onto a stretcher.

• Deal with cascading failures involving power, oxygen, gravity, doors, the reactor, and navigation.

• Decide whether the time has come to press the big red button.

• Survive the consequences of your own decisions.

There is no traitor. You are all on the same team. The chaos comes from pressure, physics, poor coordination, and incomplete information.

The red button might save you, doom you, or force you to make a decision nobody wants to make. Maybe you need to press it. Maybe pressing it is exactly what will destroy the ship.

Matches are short, intense, and full of absurd stories: a crewmate floating across the ceiling, the President stuck in an airlock, someone disabling gravity at the worst possible moment, or the entire crew sprinting toward Medical with a critically injured body while the reactor reaches its limit.

In DON’T PRESS IT, surviving would already be difficult.

Doing it while carrying the President is something else entirely.
