If you like lots of chores and puzzles with flexible solutions and "bread-crumb" style storytelling, this game could be a great exploration of your own creative thinking.

That said, I don't recommend it on the basis of it being an "immersive sim". I think it's a pretty half-baked gaming experience in that aspect and I wish I personally didn't spend the money.
This game is more like a "diet, slightly open-world Portal with a few added or altered mechanics".

Here's a bit of my criticism:

5 hours into the game and I felt NO drive to go further. The game explores interesting mechanics and a quirky narrative but feels hollow and I'm just being assigned new tasks without any sense of "space" (where i fit in all this or what my future prospects were/could be), or purpose. Solve this because it needs to be done, now onto the next puzzle.
--No allies to fight with or for --no relationships to maintain or discover --the freedom you have in this game feels like an excuse for its lack of purpose.

Here are my design questions for the developer:

--Why do I care about any of this game's story, when it's brief moments of exposition are all tied to chore emails?
--Do I really care what happens to this space station and its inhabitants? Why? If not, why keep playing?
--I explored every new environment and collected all the "story tokens" I could find, are those supposed to be the basis for the game's plot development?
--If I played on, would I have met allies or had consequences for earlier successes/failures that shaped the story-telling?
--What is the challenging, "no right answer" theme that this title, in it's immersive sim design philosophy, wants to involve the player in?
--The game seems to attempt to imply purpose, and involve the player, by asserting that this bad thing has happened with all the scientists and robots and it's up to the player to help. If I continued playing, would I have gotten a chance to hear from the game's antagonist(s)?
--Would I have the ability to alter the overall course of the game, based on my own choice of antagonist/protaganist behaviors?

Lastly,
--How much have you learned from feedback on this title, and where do you see your next title building on?

With a bit more writing and plot development I imagine your willingness to explore diverse game mechanics like traversal, strategy, and resource management would make you a great developer to think about immersive survival horror (like amnesia the bunker), or stealth-action with unique landscapes and abilities (like dishonored series). Cheers.

for years and years we had immersive sims trying to catch up to and emulate the original crop of games that defined the immersive sim (Ultima Underworld, System Shoc, Thief, and Deus Ex.) games like Prey and Dishonored are great, but they don't really evolve immersive sims, they just kind of modernize older games. Ctrl Alt Ego really feels like a game that is finally trying to evolve and do something new. it looks at the essence of what immersive sim design was trying to do, which is emergent gameplay and creative problem solving, and expands it. this game doesn't feel like it is living in the shadow of Deus Ex, it really feels like the next generation of immersive sim. it only took about 20 years for developers to catch up.
