Ctrl Alt Ego

Publisher Klabater and developer MindThunk have announced console ports for Ctrl Alt Ego, their sci-fi immersive puzzle adventure game.

Ctrl Alt Ego is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on September 24th. The sci-fi puzzle adventure originally released for PC (via Steam) back in 2022.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

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!

Features

  • 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:
