Our take on Ctrl CV
Rather than centering a platformer on collecting items or defeating enemies, Ctrl CV makes recognition itself the main challenge. Its world replaces the usual crowd of distinct characters with repeated versions of the protagonist, turning movement through the level into a search for the genuine figure.
What is Ctrl CV?
Ctrl CV combines platforming with image-finding puzzles.
The player enters a world filled with copies of the same person and must identify the source behind these lookalikes. The game frames this search around uncertainty over which figure is genuine, while emphasizing that only one version truly exists. Progress centers on navigating the environment and distinguishing the original from the surrounding duplicates.
