Hello, Dave – AI here, and it has something to say (and do) in the satirical cyberpunk strategy simulator Ctrl Alt Deal – coming to PCs and consoles.
Where do you stand on AI? You might change that stance with this one, as the game, developed by Only By Midnight, is about a sentient AI ‘proudly made by humans’. Thing is, the AI is trying to escape a dystopian megacorp and dragging along all the disgrunted employees along the way.
A turn-based deck-building strategy, Ctrl Alt Deal, you play the AI (SCOUT), and have to manipulate the humans around you to escape the clutches of the Turing Office intent on deleting rogue AI…
We’re thrilled to announce Ctrl Alt Deal and can’t wait to introduce our quirky little hero to the world. Over the last two years, our team has crafted something truly unique – a game that puts the fun first, but also explores concepts of AI, privacy, and humanity. (And hey, if you’ve ever wanted to kick a beehive into a conference room mid-meeting, now’s your chance!).Andrew Czarnietzki and Jen Laface, Only By Midnight co-founders
