About
An unreliable narrative-driven adventure game.
You’re a prisoner in a cell. You have to escape. But is that really the goal?
Key Features
- Unreliable Narrator – Centum challenges traditional gaming conventions by weaving an intricate narrative where reality is as fluid as the mind of its narrator.
- Mind-bending Gameplay – Navigate a series of daunting scenarios, each shrouded in uncertainty and enigma. Every click and decision is remembered, forcing you to grapple with the unreliable nature of the narrator’s hints and guidance.
- Shape the Story – There is no singular protagonist in Centum; instead, players shape the behavior of an artificial intelligence through their choices, guiding it towards different outcomes and experiences.
- Dynamic Dialogue System – Engage in conversations that influence the characters’ ego states and alter the course of the narrative.
- Multiple Endings – With hidden variables persisting between game runs, each playthrough offers new twists, ensuring that no two experiences are alike.
- Question Reality – Centum speaks of themes that challenge players to question not only the game’s reality but also their own perceptions and beliefs.
