Weekend Games has announced that the company will publish Canteen Games’ sci-fi horror typing game Remote Control, coming to PC via Steam in 2026. The game is described an unsettling experience that pulls players between the corporate world of the TV show Severance and the thrilling tension of Alien: Isolation.
A deep-space spacecraft has gone mysteriously silent. The crew is dead, the incident is undocumented and the only way to uncover the truth is by using a series of human “proxies” controlled by you via a terminal in a far-off (and safe) location.
You’ll issue typed commands through the terminal interface, forcibly directing proxies to navigate the ship, investigate objects, and discover the events that led to disaster. Humans have flaws, though, with fear, a desire to live, and butter-fingers getting in the way. However, they are unable to completely resist your commands, even if there is sometimes a little pushback…
Drawing inspiration from Alien: Isolation’s sustained dread and the dehumanizing psychological horror of Severance, Remote Control blends typing-driven gameplay that feels reminiscent of classic text-based adventure games, merged with recent hits like Mouthwashing and No, I’m Not a Human.
Remote Control will be released on PC in 2026, and you can wishlist it now on Steam. Follow Canteen Games on TikTok, Bluesky, and YouTube.
