Control Freak

About

Control Freak casts you as a spectral entity trapped in a research facility. Your only tool is the ability to take over living and nonliving things. Guide a janitor through corridors one moment then hijack a security camera the next. The lab’s layout shifts as you progress creating a puzzle-like challenge to reach freedom. The game’s strength lies in its flexible approach to problem solving. Possessing animals machinery or even other ghosts opens unexpected paths. While the 2019 release date means it’s been around a while its tight controls and inventive level design still earn praise from puzzle platforming fans. Shorter levels keep momentum high even if the core loop feels familiar.
