Navigate your oblivious companion through a world filled with dangers such as lasers, rush hour traffic, homemade flamethrowers and aggressive cleaning robots by solving a variety of puzzles in this hilarious and unpredictable adventure. Can you keep him safe from himself?
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
