Explore the limits of interaction in video games through a first-person gallery tour. This indie adventure presents a meta-narrative that blends awkward humor with a sense of oppression, showcasing conventional ways protagonists engage their worlds. Players navigate the exhibition, tackle simple puzzles, and seek a path to press The Button.
A remade PC version builds on the original Itch.io release with refined details, adjusted puzzles, extra endings, achievements, and haunting music. Short experiences like this appeal to fans of thoughtful indie adventures who enjoy poking at game design conventions.
Welcome to Interactivity: The Interactive Experience, an exhibition by Aetheric Games, featuring The Button.
In the world of "video-games", interaction engineers have spent years rigidly defining the specialised and determinate ways that you, a "video-game" protagonist, may interact with your world. Here in this guided tour you will find them all, glistening with promise, awaiting the click of your mouse and ready to edutain you! Please enjoy.
Except for The Button. The Button is not for you.

Interactivity: The Interactive Experience is a short meta-narrative experience about how our interaction with game worlds is limited by convention, in equal parts of awkwardly-funny and oppressive. Explore the gallery in first-person, solve a handful of simple puzzles, and find a way to push The Button.
Interactivity was previously released on Itch.io. This remade version has new details, textures, tweaked puzzles, more endings, achievements and haunting music by Miles Tilmann.
