The Developer Says...

This Game Can Be Annoying

Press Ctrl is a simple but infuriating mind-bending meta-adventure. You control a character, that controls another character, that controls another character, that controls another character. Press Ctrl to win.

An Experiment in Input Systems

The game was originally developed during GMTKJam 2020 based on the theme "Out of Control" and was ranked the #1 most original in the event out of more than 5.4K submissions. This new version features Steam achievements, as well as a fourth, never-before-seen level.
