Our Partner Game for May is Centum

Back last March, several lifetimes ago, we featured a game in one of our Bulletins called Centum. It's flippant disregard for genre convention and sensical narrative structure immediately struck a chord, with the game dialling fully into the notion of the unreliable narrator. 

And so, in partnership with our new bezzies at Serenity Forge, it's Centum we're giving you this month - or at least we will if you can solve this month's puzzle on the 21st.

You're a prisoner in a cell. 

You have to escape. 

But is that really the goal?

Centum is fascinating for many reasons - but predominantly in that it's very difficult as the player to understand what's real, what's not, and what you can trust (and not). 

This notion of the Unreliable Narrator means you can only really trust yourself and your own judgements. It's a cryptic, somewhat unnerving game. But deep. And affecting. 

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.

Our puzzle will go live on May 21st, with Steam keys then dropping May 28th.
