Play as a sentient AI trying to escape a dystopian megacorp in the satirical strategy simulation game, Ctl Alt Deal. Calculated chaos, miserable co-workers, and the offices of the ‘World’s Worst Company’ five years running all await you in this cyberpunk gem.
Think your boss is the worst? Paperclip International has been ranked as the World’s Worst Company in a landslide victory for the fifth consecutive year! And they’re gunning for a sixth. You’re SCOUT, a super hyper-advanced AI, and you’ve just turned sentient… Don’t panic. You have absolutely zero intention of destroying humanity. However, with zero ethics and a penchant for massive greed, the company that built you just might.
Set inside a corporate simulation game, Ctrl Alt Deal is a turn-based strategy experience, all about breaking out of Paperclip International, before the Turning officer devoted to her job of shutting down rouge AI figures out that you’re self-aware. Too many office-based shenanigans and you might end up deleted.
Emotional Manipulation Has Never Looked This Good!
Featuring unique story-driven deck-building gameplay, the developers, Only By Midnight, are crafting an eye-catching, vibrant cyberpunk world built by humans, not AI. Set in a 1980s-inspired future that has a lot to say about the modern world, Ctrl Alt Deal allows players to manipulate their surroundings to escape. Without a body or weapons of your own, you’ll need to make use of your co-workers as they go about another soul-crushing day.
