Panic! (known as Switch! in Japan) is a video game for the Sega CD that involves pressing numerous buttons in order to transverse a young boy through a complex labyrinth. The game was originally released in Japan, and had some risque "gags" that were assumed to be edited out if the game ever got an American release. However, in 1994, DataEast decided to publish the game in the US, renamed but otherwise un-cut.
Gameplay for Panic! is very minimalistic, and likely the reason of its very low sales figures. The basic control scheme is point, click, watch. Each level is presented as a new area with a mechanical device of varying utility and sanity, and a set of buttons to press. Each button causes an animation and/or switches to another room.
The game was also released for the Playstation 2 in 2002. However, the game never left Japan.
