The Second Thought or Please, Don't Touch Anything by Four Quarters
Here is some puzzle cryptographic game we named "The Second Thought". And "Please, Don't Touch Anything".
We were arguing about name for a long time and didn't came to the agreement.
The game has eleven endings and it counts as complete only if you managed to discover every one of them. And you get something special each time you find one.
Alt+Enter - fullscreen.
Hold reset lever to erase your savegame.
After you launch the game you'll have to wait a bit till it's loading (just a couple of seconds).
Also there's an android version, but some in-game buttons are small so it plays well only on big screens. Or you can use stylus.
Enjoy and make sure you've read the instruction!
P.S. It's 5 am here and we're glad we made it.

UPD_1: We've added a guide.
PLEASE, TRY TO OPEN ALL OF THE ENDINGS ON YOUR OWN BEFORE READING IT.
UPD_2: We've slightly updated the game, removing a couple of tiny bugs and merge sounds in one of endings

Overall, very well done with respect to atmosphere: graphics, sound, and themes come together in a good way.
We will add a guide for those who just want to watch the game .
One of the ending of the game is really creepy.
Played on a Nexus 7 (2012) and it worked well except for one instance (which might've been intentional: it kicked me out of the app)
The art especially is TOP NOTCH.
Good job!
Great work dudes!
I will come back tomorrow.
Maybe the longest time spent on testing a LD game, I love it :)
We were afraid that no one will see more than two endings and then quit playing.
Nice to see when trying to beat the game.
Thank you for your support!
It does not crash the game , is one of the endings, run the game again and you will be credited +1 ending
On the other hand, I really loved the atmosphere. It reminded me of "Papers, Please". Great art and great sound!
The only help I needed was the I II III panel. After that, I got the trick and after some time, I got all the endings!
Overall, I must to say that this is one of the best games. Congrats!
awesome idea and implementation
MOAR CLICK
You guys are have done a great work, really. The art is really nice and the concept well thought. I still can't find some combination ;P
awesome!
love the graphics <3 puzzles <3 everything
got five endings in about 40 minutes. i'll definitely keep playing
i tried my best to solve the different endings, but they seem to be designed by and for a mind out of this world (extraterrestrial?) xD
lots of stars for you guys, good job :)

"...they seem to be designed by and for a mind out of this world (extraterrestrial?) xD "
Maybe influenced by the fact that we are from Russia :)
Thanks.
Enjoyed it a lot, the endings are brilliant.

very good attempt , I hope you unlock the last two also с=
The 0-9 number puzzle stumped me for awhile, because I thought it was related to the letters on a telephone.

"I did it!"
Congratulations!
Finding the hammer & smashing the screen and then having the game close on me was certainly interesting :D

WTF I dont understand the game :)
I advise you to see Guide from "Downloads and Links" :)
The puzzle that made me look into the guide was the I II III. Also, on the 49 buttons panel... I knew what to, but I didn't know where exactly to draw... =X
I also didn't know how to turn the switch left... I tried moving it (click+drag), but since it turns the switch right when you click on its center, I got kinda confused..
And the binary one I got by look. Was trying to input 366 and, accidentally, inputted the right sequence.
Well, I'm not that good with puzzles nor point-and-click games, so I think this is pretty good and do-able. =D
(but, yeah... too hard for me XD)
Good job! Thanks!
First off, I like how things are just difficult enough to figure out so that you're about to give up... but then you do a sequence right and something new to play with pops up. It's a really wonderfully rewarding experience fiddling around with things and being rewarded with new ways to interact with the game because of it.
The music and sounds create a really nice layer of immersion, though I did find the red button sound to be somewhat annoying after a while. But it's forgivable. The music especially is actually really nice to just listen to... I've got the game running in the background and it's lovely.
The visuals were also really nicely handled, and adding a little image for every type of ending was a nice touch. Everything just really meshes well with itself.
I ended up finding 6 of the endings myself before giving it a break. But I'm leaving the game very satisfied, rather than frustrated or bored. Also, nice use of the theme. Great job guys, it's a really nice little compact experience.
- best game i played till now
- i love the puzzles and the simple mechanics
- gfx and sfx are awesome
cons:
- the bar puzzle is too difficut/not intuitive to be the puzzle that lead to many others
Great work !
Love the graphics, sound effects, music and the overall attention to detail!
I wonder how many hours it will take me to discover every possible ending :-)
Very well done!!
Anyway, apart from that...I blew up the city a few times, and for a while I was convinced that was the only thing possible. Then I realized that if you mash the button for a while more stuff happens...But none of this stuff makes any sense or has any motivation behind it. I turned the video upside down, or something, which I guess counts as an ending? Ultimately it all just seemed pointless, though.
The puzzles are quite hard to find I didn't find how to use the I II III buttons.
A very nice game.
Well done!
I really hope to see more of your work in the future! 5/5 all around from me.
Not finding all the endings actually but I will try!
But, don't give up ;) We are now working on the full version for almost all major platforms ;)
Congratulations!
The hammer ending really surprised me.
Love the old televison-style animation.
Well made!
I like that you sort of have to pick up on that and notice the small changes. It's very cool. Also, the music is nice and the UI gives the whole thing an eerie yet relaxed atmosphere.
Nice job! Congrats on getting it in and thanks for commenting/voting on Natquik! :)
