About the 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.
Stealth is always optional in Ctrl Alt Ego, but if you enjoy being sneaky then your options include but aren't limited to:

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
