Enjoy the trailer and info here before checking the game out.
Crossed Wires
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.
- Get Ready To Overclock Your Logic Processor: Experience logic puzzles, escape rooms, and demanding multitasking through four different game modes: point and click, driving direct WASD-style controls, and destructive lasers. Dynamic puzzle solving allows for multiple solutions to many puzzles, including shortcuts that might just save the day!
- 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 in 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 Dialogue: Characters come to life with fully-voiced lines of dialogue.
- 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 the full pedal array is a little less supported, but you can try. I'm not the police.
