Warsaw, Poland | September 24th, 2024 - Klabater and MindThunk proudly announce that Ctrl Alt Ego, a unique immersive sim is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 .
🧠A captivating, mind-bending adventure through a robotic world! 🤖
Put aside your gaming preconceptions and embrace the unique experience that is Ctrl Alt Ego - a unique hybrid of open-ended puzzler, first-person action, and role playing game - with smart systems-driven design and a mystery to get to the bottom of which seems to be all about you and your ego.
You play as a disembodied consciousness, referred to simply as 'Ego'. You awaken on a space station, where conscious robots have taken the place of any humans that may once have been there. There are reports that a parasite has been taking over the minds of any and all beings it comes into contact with.
Your mission? Track down the source of the parasitic invasion, uncover its origin, and face the hidden truth behind it.
Distinct Features:
🔄Transmit yourself between bots and devices, exploiting innovative mechanics to solve problems however you choose. Shoot, sneak, or get creative—choose to be a pacifist or a ruthless enforcer. Oh, and everything is driven by dynamic, unpredictable, 'punk physics'—a chaotic and creative twist on problem-solving.
📦The environment is your inventory. Things can be packed inside other stuff. Items can be carried, thrown, digitized, and re-printed. Explore to find what you need—there’s plenty to discover.
🌌 Explore a deep, nonlinear, interconnected world, evocative of 70s/80s era low-budget British sci-fi television. Enjoy a darkly farcical story about the future of human consciousness. And Cats.
🤖 Upgrade your Bug Robot to get a 'shift' tool that can move stuff around, an ego-sucker tool, a Vacuum cleaner to suck up broken parts and debris, a download tool to print your own fresh robots, and many more… even a shotgun!
🧠 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. Grow your ego and use it to take ctrl of other robots and devices to exploit their abilities.
