Crossed Wires

Crossed Wires is a game in which you play the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence, assigned to protect a man called ELON. You help him with everyday tasks such as constructing a flamethrower, avoiding aggressive cleaning appliances and navigating his electric Edison car, while uncovering the truth about your own past.

The mission

As you contend with a world of excessive technology, you investigate the Electronic Learning Optimization Network, its progenitor Aleth Labs and their connection to ELON, the person you have been tasked with chaperoning.

Protect ELON

You can reach through the Internet to interact with electronic devices near ELON. Explore rooms, move objects, create distractions and induce fear to guide him toward his destination. When hostile drones pursue him, use a weaponized satellite to blast enemy automatons and provide covering fire while he escapes.

You can also inhabit the ELON Husk and explore an abandoned research lab on foot. In this body, you interact with the environment and grab, push and pull objects. When driving the Edison, solve puzzles to control the car while avoiding other drivers; hazards mount as ELON grows restless, and the battery can run out.

Levels and secrets

The rooms offer multiple creative solutions, including shortcuts that save time or bypass dangers. Optional hidden secrets are scattered throughout the game and unlock a mysterious door deep in the Aleth Laboratory. Fully voiced dialogue accompanies the characters.

A persistent health system lets you replay any previous level at any time. Your best result on each level is kept and carried forward.
