First-person sci-fi immersive action game in which your disembodied ego roams a retro tech space station by taking ctrl of various robots and devices. Unique stealth/combat/puzzler hybrid gameplay. There’s a bug in the system and it’s up to you to exploit it to save consciousness itself.
## About This Game
You are ego, a disembodied consciousness.
Apparently you’ve been downloaded to an evacuated retro-tech space-station to
deal with a dangerous parasite that has taken over the consciousness ctrl
stream.
Take ctrl of robots and devices to get around; some are friendly, others not
so much.
Explore, grow your ego, find and exploit bugs, install and hack disk programs
to upgrade your bug, evade or defeat hostiles.
Adopt a strategic, stealthy approach, or don’t.
Solve puzzles to reach locations of interest, or don’t.
Dig deeper into who you are and why you exist, or don’t.
## Distinct Features
* 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 of ctrl’d robots and bring them with you!
* Use robots to get around the old fashioned way, or ‘hop’ between hosts to jump from one side of an area to another in a near-instant.
## Stealth
Stealth is always optional in Ctrl Alt Ego, but if you enjoy being sneaky then
your options include but aren’t limited to:
* Reconnaisance: Look for friendly devices to ctrl to scout ahead for threats
* Traditional: Observe enemy patrol patterns and slip by unseen and unheard
* Cover: Hide behind movable crates
* Distract: Make noises to distract hostiles.
* Takedowns: Approach hostiles undetected and take them down with minimal bother
* Safe mode: While in ctrl of most robots your ego is undetectable unless or until you arouse suspicion, allowing you to move around ‘in disguise’
* Ethermatics: Use ethermatical serialisation technology to ‘teleport’ your robots around
* Also Ethermatics: Use ethermatical serialisation technology to ‘teleport’ crates around to create dynamic cover
