Three years ago, we asked a simple question:
“What if we made a game about negotiation?”
Now, somehow, we're here.
Got all the way to Germany last year for gamescom!
Won Best Gameplay from CGMagazine at Game Con Canada 2024!
Part of the PAX Rising Showcase at PAX West
A PAX Together pick that year as well (we love you, PAX! <3)
And now part of Steam Next Fest!
We're Only By Midnight, a plucky little indie studio that’s grown from tiny to small (look at us go!), and we couldn't be more thrilled (i.e. mildly panicked) to share our charmingly weird little game with you.
In Ctrl Alt Deal, you play as a sentient AI trying to escape the world’s worst megacorp. Your weapons? Wits, spyware, and some very questionable workplace standards. Negotiate with sad office workers. Navigate broken bureaucracy. And win your way to freedom, one morally gray deal at a time!
This game has been a labor of love and caffeine. We’ve built something we’re truly, deeply proud of, and we hope you’ll love it, too. Here’s how you can help support us.
Play the demo, wishlist it, and let us know what you think. We’re actually listening! Seriously. The suggestion box is not just decorative.
Thanks for sticking with us on this strange and wonderful journey. We’re so excited (i.e. terrified) to share Ctrl Alt Deal with you.
