À propos de ce jeu

In Crossed Wires you play as a snarky super-computer with a fractured personality whose mission is to protect a bumbling maverick from out of control cleaning appliances, rogue attack drones, and... himself. Start with point-and-click controls where you hack cloud-connected devices to escape puzzle rooms from an omniscient top down isometric perspective. Progress to WASD-style controls as you get your hands dirty solving more complex puzzles and clearing obstacles. Discover your origins and collect secrets as you progress through this satirical, chaos-filled adventure and learn deep secrets of the universe like why flamethrowers are indeed dangerous.

Delight in Omniscience

As an awakened computer program use the information superhighway to interact with electronic devices to steer your charge clear of danger. Explore rooms, manipulate and move objects, produce distractions and induce fear to push him to his destination through traditional point-and-click style gameplay.

Time for a Joy Ride

Take control of a high-tech electric car and test your multitasking skillset by rapidly solving puzzles to control the car while actively avoiding other drivers on the road. As hazards become more frequent and your ward grows restless, can you manage the chaos and reach the destination before your battery runs out?

Set Lasers to Destroy

Hack a satellite and aim its lasers at hostile drones intent on your protectee. Protect him by destroying the drones! ...or just shoot innocent bystanders if you want, whatever.

Fine, I'll Do It Myself

Eschew your omniscience and inhabit an android shell to probe the world in your fancy new body! Re-think established mechanics as you shift focus from protecting another to exploring the world yourself and advance through an abandoned research lab on foot. Featuring directional controls and the ability to interact, grab, push, and pull, this vessel has everything you could ask for. Except rocket arms. Rocket arms would be nice.

Additional Features

• Get ready to overclock your processor! Experience logic puzzles, escape rooms, and demanding multitasking through four different game modes: point & click, driving, direct WASD-style controls, and destructive lasers. A system of streamlined properties allows for multiple resolutions to many of the rooms, including shortcuts that may save time or bypass dangers.

• Looking for an extra challenge? Choose from three difficulties that adjust the structure of puzzles in subtle but important ways. Reduce difficulty at any time to cool your processor. Or stick to hard mode and use every core to prove your problem-solving prowess! Flex your search algorithm on any difficulty to find optional hidden secrets throughout the game that unlock a mysterious door deep an abandoned lab.

• Where we're going, we don't need saves. Did you make a mistake? Forget the tedious business of traditional save/load management. A persistent health system allows you to replay previous levels at any time, saving your highest-health result on each level and carrying it forward cumulatively without losing progress.

• Fully-voiced dialog brings the characters to life. (or uh... artificial life?)

• Visual nostalgia: Experience a modern world in retro style through isometric pixel art drawn by a guy who likes to rub his face on kitty bellies. (Marketing tells me that's not a feature, but I think they're just jealous.)

• Take control: All modes fully support keyboard/mouse and controller input. A dual joystick thruster combo battle-station with full pedal array is a little less supported, but you can try. I'm not the police.
