Ctrl Alt Ego is an action RPG from developer MindThunk. Players control an disembodied ego, transmitting between various bots and devices to solve environmental puzzles. The game world is a nonlinear, interconnected space inspired by 70s/80s British sci-fi. Players can approach challenges through combat, stealth, or creative problem-solving, engaging with a darkly farcical narrative concerning human consciousness.
The game eschews a traditional inventory system, utilizing the environment as a diegetic resource. Player death is absent; the ego persists and can transfer to new robotic hosts. Controlled robots can be amassed into an army for assistance.
