Ctrl Alt Deal Brings Tactical Office Chaos to Nintendo Switch
Only By Midnight, an indie studio, just released Ctrl Alt Deal on Nintendo Switch for $25.99. You play as SCOUT, a clever AI trying to bust out of the dystopian Paperclip International, the worst megacorp you could imagine.
The game’s a weird mix of turn-based strategy and deckbuilding with a funny office twist. Instead of guns or fights, you make deals, start office romances, or maybe let loose a swarm of angry bees on HR. Every coworker has their own quirks, like loving Jazzercise or running secret gaming tournaments. Your job is to figure out who to buddy up with and who to sabotage, all while planning your great escape.
The visuals are bright neon cyberpunk, which fits the offbeat humor perfectly. Build your AI deck, pick upgrades, and try not to get noticed by the Turing Officer who wants to delete rogue AIs like SCOUT. The game launched earlier this year on PC and consoles, and now Switch players get in on the fun.
If you’ve ever wanted to skip those pointless meetings and cause some office chaos, Ctrl Alt Deal is your game. You can follow Only By Midnight on X, TikTok, Discord, and more for updates.
Key features include:
- Deck-based turn strategy with office satire
- Custom upgrades for your playstyle
- A quirky cast of office characters to befriend or sabotage
- Neon cyberpunk style that pops
- Multiple endings depending on your choices
Ctrl Alt Deal is perfect if you think the best way to survive office life is with a little mischief.
