    Ctrl Alt Ego is another super fascinating game where you play as a disembodied consciousness that can possess all manner of electronics, very fascinating game.

    A really good indie one is Ctrl Alt Ego, which has SO many ways to solve problems. And also a huge achievement list for doing absolutely unhinged stuff. You can apparently complete the whole game without even unlocking the jump button. The developer tested some absolute pervert stuff.

    Random recording of Ctrl Alt Ego shotgun action just to remind people the game exists. Working on the sequel and not ready to show yet, which is why I've been quiet lately.

    Fredo's Game-Os: I've been spending some time with CTRL ALT EGO lately, an indie immersive sim from 2022. This one is kind of a sleeper hit, made a lot of "hidden gem" lists and seems highly regarded by your "in the know" types. Spoiler alert: It is really good!

    I like how Corpus Edax has this in the Main menu with Indie Revolution showcasing indie immersive sims that are available or under development, and even has a small bug robot from Ctrl Alt Ego in game promoting it, this is great!

    Dear Patient Gamers, Ctrl Alt Ego is 50% off on Steam, largest discount since launch. It's a game about being stuck inside a video game... where you were the programmer. It's a bit of a mind-thunk.

    So I started playing CTRL ALT EGO, which so far is a pretty fun puzzle/immersive sim game, which I also /might/ be a little bit too dumb for. Regardless of my intelligence, I noticed that the game's achievements are presumably all just pictures of the developers cat so it's a 10/10 anyways.

    Not since Ctrl Alt Ego. In my current headspace it's difficult to separate the experience of playing a game from the experience of being at work. One of those I can take a break from, the other not so much. As for favorite, as previously stated, I don't think this way.

    I'd say the closest in spirit is probably Ctrl-Alt-Ego, which gives you so many tools and you don't need any of them to reach the end. It's possible to even complete the game without unlocking the jump button.

    5. Ctrl Alt Ego (Game, 2022) Great Immersive Sim, starts off a bit confined but then during the second half the amount of player options and freedom to solve the game's puzzles feels almost limitless. The gameplay loop of hopping from machine to machine is also really addicting.

    Ctrl Alt Ego It’s like if prey and wall e had a weird baby. It’s basically a puzzle game about hacking on a space station. It’s a physics driven immersive sim.

    The 'boss fights' in Ctrl Alt Ego are great because they lean into the design of the game, you just need to apply what you've learned via the moment to moment gameplay funny enough I image it should be possible to skip a boss fight in an imsim with just clever use of the mechanics

    Short Game Reviews for backlog games I never got around to. Mythforce - Don't care for the type of game. Love love love the Saturday Morning Cartoon throwback though. Ctrl Alt Ego - Controls are a bit wonky. Moving on. Deep Rock Galactic - I see why this is compared to Helldivers 2.

    I’ve just finished my first run through the #indie #ImmersiveSim game Ctrl Alt Ego, and felt it was a shame that it’s not more well known. As an immersive sim fan, I’ve been sad that the studios behind both Deus Ex and Prey were closed in the current unpleasantness. With the conventional wisdom being that you need an enormous team and budget to make the detailed world required for an immersive sim, it seemed that the genre would languish for the foreseeable future. But then, I found…
