Ctrl Alt Ego v1.4.18.05

Ctrl Alt Ego throws out every gaming convention you know and invites you to step into a new kind of immersive sim. You play as yourself—minus your body—and transcend physical limits by hopping between robots, cameras, turrets and other electronic hosts. Whether you prefer stealthy infiltration, all-out combat or a pacifist approach, the world adapts to your style and rewards creative problem solving.

Set in a sprawling, nonlinear environment that feels plucked straight from low-budget British sci-fi of the 1970s and ’80s, Ctrl Alt Ego encourages you to think laterally. There’s no traditional inventory system—everything in the world is at your disposal as an on-demand, diegetic toolkit. Need a keycard or a weapon? Just jack into the nearest device.

Death isn’t game over here. As a disembodied ego you’re effectively immortal: if your current host is destroyed, you simply jump into another nearby machine and carry on. You can even build an army of hacked robots to accompany you—send an assault bot squad into a secure area or quietly slip past guards in a cheap maintenance drone. For rapid traversal, “hopping” from one side of a zone to the other is almost instantaneous.

Beyond its innovative mechanics, Ctrl Alt Ego delivers a darkly farcical narrative about the future of human consciousness. Every encounter and puzzle can be approached in multiple ways, and no two playthroughs need look the same. If you love immersive simulations that trust you to find your own path, or if you’re an experienced gamer seeking a fresh, engrossing challenge, this is one adventure you shouldn’t miss.
