PRESS THE BUTTON!
The narrator says I cannot declare there to be a button. Apparently I have to wait for him to say there's a button before I can press it. But if I'm allowed to find a button, I will press it. I'm finding this game to be even more baffling than the previous one.
I am wandering aimlessly around the bunker (having visited the kitchen and eaten a really delicious meal of brown rice and curried tofu... and I don't care what the narrator says about that: I was hungry and I fixed myself a meal) looking for a button to press.
Since I cannot figure out how to even begin trying to solve the puzzles, I'm hoping that I can benefit my fellow villagers by pressing a random button.
