CyberControl: Another Life

CyberControl: Another Life is a 20-hour interactive drama set in a cyberpunk world of tyranny, manipulation and survival. You play a border officer who checks documents and decides who may pass, while navigating relationships and branching stories. Your choices shape the fates of others as well as your own; the game presents no clearly right or wrong decisions, only consequences.

Create your character

At the start, you choose your character’s appearance and inner qualities. You can play a cold-blooded officer focused on keeping order or someone compassionate who seeks meaning and justice in a harsh world shaped by technology.

Decide who passes

Checking documents is your main task. Each passport belongs to someone with a personal story, secrets and tragedies, and your decision can bring that person salvation or death. You can be a hero to one person and a ruthless presence to another; acts of kindness and cruelty both have consequences.

Build relationships

You can meet people, form friendships and experience love, but betrayal is also part of this world. The people you meet keep secrets, and your connections can save you or contribute to your downfall. You must weigh your duty against your relationships and decide how far you are willing to go for those you love.

Branching outcomes

The game has 34 endings. Decisions can affect your fate and the fates of others, setting off consequences that may be unexpected and irreversible. Some paths let you save your loved ones; others can cost you everything you care about. Choices may bring you to new crossroads and tragedies, with no guaranteed way to return to an earlier path.

Survival and its cost

The world intertwines light and darkness, and your emotions are among the first things it tries to take from you. Survival can demand sacrifices of your principles, while each decision can lead to unpredictable results. As you look back on how events reached disaster, you may find it is already too late.
