Our take on Lose Ctrl
Its defining mechanic is the shifting relationship between inputs and actions: keyboard and mouse commands can change during play, making adaptation central to the story and multiplayer activities.
What is Lose Ctrl?
Lose Ctrl changes how keyboard and mouse inputs work during a darkly humorous, sarcastic, and philosophical story about Billy, whose ordinary life begins to stop working as expected.
Left may become right, and up may become down, making navigation unpredictable. The game also includes couch co-op for up to 5 friends. Multiplayer activities include vehicle races, Segway Golf, Segway Basketball, and Fall Folks, where players compete while adapting to unfamiliar controls. Its structure combines narrative scenes with varied competitive challenges involving driving, sports, and falling. The experience is built around uncertainty, as each activity asks players to work out how its controls behave.
