How it feels

You explore a pastel 90s diorama world, befriend cute characters, do quirky quests, and play arcade minigames in a laid-back, feel-good story about friendship and community.

What players say

Players are split on Button City. Some find it a charming, heartfelt story about friendship with fun minigames and a vibrant world. Others criticize the slow walking speed, excessive fetch quests, and lack of direction. The AI in the main minigame is notably weak, and the rhythm game has control issues.
