Use of the limitation
You have one button in the game. We interpreted the limitation as the button having two functions. Using it, or not using it. Each leads to a different ending.

You nailed the mood in this game! Loved the UI and the storytelling well done!
Creative and cool story. Only suggestion i have is to add more choices and maybe you can give some answers in the dialogue.
Best story in a game so far this Jam! Love it and went for both endings! 🚀
Never thought I would play a itch.io game with such a powerful message
Awesome story, cool graphics! Tried both endings, really cool!
a very interesting game. I like the implementation of the limitation
This game made me think about world order and reminded me of the story of Soviet lieutenant Stanislav Petrov, who found himself in a similar situation. I'm glad you brought it up.
That story is what inspired the story for this game, I'm glad you recognized the inspiration.
Wow, awesome. I really liked the idea that inaction is also an action. Although, the first thing I did when I entered the game was press the start button without even waiting for the signals to appear xD. Maybe you should hide that button until the signals show up. Thanks for your game!
Soon as I opened the page it was immediate excitement. The graphics, the theme, the intended mood was fantastic to experience. Very simple idea / story implemented well. I did get nervous early on and pressed the button which, well, you know what happens. Whoops
