Developer Canteen Games along with publisher Weekend Games have announced a new horror exploration game called Remote Control, in which you need to find out what has happened to a derelict spaceship where all the crew has died. It is all a very mysterious circumstance, but you don’t need to risk your own life to find out what has happened. Instead you have 12 human proxies that must obey your every command to send into the ship to discover the horrible truth and uncover the secrets.
To command the 12 proxies remotely you need to type commands that they are forced to carry out. Those commands could be as simply as turning in a certain direction or opening something, but things to get disturbing as the trailer shows with one proxy being commanded to walk into a fire. It shows that there is something very unsettling about this whole set up, and that is not limited to the derelict spaceship as there seems to be something weird going on in your own office too. Things will get tough as some proxies may fight your commands and try to disobey, which means you will have to take decisions to bring them back in line. If you want to try Remote Control out for yourself you can with a free demo on itch.io.
The full release of Remote Control is expected this year on PC.
