You’re a prisoner in a cell. You have to escape. But is that really the goal?

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.
