Put aside your gaming preconceptions and embrace the unique experience that is Ctrl Alt Ego. Play the role of yourself, minus your body. Transmit yourself between bots and devices and exploit the innovative mechanics to solve problems your way. Explore a deep, nonlinear, interconnected world, evocative of 70s/80s era low-budget British sci-fi television. Shoot, sneak or get creative, be pacifist or executor. Enjoy a darkly farcical story about the future of human consciousness. If you enjoy immersive sims, there's every chance you'll enjoy this. If you don't know what an immersive sim is, but you enjoy thinking for yourself and solving puzzles with no preordained solution, this game is for you. If you're an experienced gamer looking for a fresh, engrossing experience, you just found it! Distinct Features There's no inventory... the environment itself is your always-available on-demand diegetic inventory. There is no 'player death' in Ctrl Alt Ego. Your invincible, disembodied ego always lives on. If your current host is toast, pick another and carry on: (Note: there is a traditional save/load facility too, in case you refuse to accept who you are) Once you've ctrl'd a robot, it is yours to keep. Amass an army and bring it with you: Use robots to get around the old fashioned way, or 'hop' from one side of an area to another in a near-instant: Key art and logo by @ROLLINKUNZ

Description from IGDB IGDB

Transmit your disembodied ego between robots and devices and exploit their capabilities in first-person very British 70s/80s era sci-fi immersive sim Ctrl Alt Ego. Tool-up and break bad bots into broken bits, or sneak a bug quietly into the system as if you were never there.

Storyline IGDB

You are ego, a disembodied consciousness. You've been downloaded to an evacuated retro-tech space dock where a mind-altering virus has infected the consciousness ctrl stream. Even if you eventually manage to remedy that spot of bother, who are you and where did you come from? And why are the CATs talking to you? The only way to find out is to debug yourself. Debug your own mind. Debug your ego.
