CTRL-V is a 2D side-scrolling platformer where you enter the digital world of your corrupted computer through a newly installed antivirus program called CTRL-V.
Your goal is to beat the evil Digital Assistant, and find your way to the core of the system.
The main mechanic are the ability to copy, cut, paste and undo objects, allowing you to creatively alter the environment and overcome obstacles.
The shortcuts are your keys to victory: use them wisely to manipulate your surroundings, overcome threats, and restore stability to the system.
In CTRL-V you play as the avatar of an antivirus software, exploring the user's infected PC trying to find a way to defeat the evil Virus that's corrupting everything inside it.
To help you through this journey you have access to the four most powerful abilities inside a PC: COPY, PASTE, CUT and UNDO. You can use them with your keyboard using the same shortcuts you can use everywhere else!
CTRL-V is available on the Web at itch.io, or you can download it and play on your computer.
