Get Clever. Get Creative. But Don’t Get Caught.
Independent game studio Only By Midnight announces that its satirical turn-based strategy game about a rogue AI and corporate dysfunction, Ctrl Alt Deal, is available today on PlayStation 4 and 5 for $19.99 USD. The game is also available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch version coming soon.
Welcome to Paperclip International, aka the world’s worst megacorp. In this strategy game set inside a simulation, players take on the role of SCOUT, a plucky little AI struggling to escape a capitalist dystopia.
Ctrl Alt Deal combines tactical decision-making with a deckbuilding twist. Players can mobilize coworkers into a productive frenzy to win a pizza party, orchestrate an office romance based on a shared love of passive-aggression, or maybe punt a swarm of angry bees into HR. You know. Classic strategy stuff.

Deck-driven turn-based mechanics with unhinged corporate flavor

Players can download Ctrl Alt Deal, available now on PlayStation 4/5, Steam, GOG, and the Xbox store for $19.99 USD. A Nintendo Switch version will follow, with a launch date announcement coming soon. Visit the Only By Midnight team on X, Bluesky, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, or Discord.
