Trailered last night,Centumis “an unreliable narrative-driven adventure where everything may be a lie”, according tothe Steam page. Does the suggestion that everything may be a lie also apply to the suggestion itself? Is this an unreliable Steam page? Perhaps the game is secretly a cheerful Playmobile platformer with plentiful ledge-assist, rather than a horrible point-and-clicker that starts you off in a dark cell with a bunch of obviously cursed artefacts, and gets steadily worse.

The Steam page does have some useful info, mind you. For instance, this appears to be a game about tutoring an AI of some kind, which you might not guess from the darkGothicfantasy appearance of certain locations. “There is no singular protagonist in Centum,” the Steam page reads. “Instead, players shape the behavior of an artificial intelligence through their choices, guiding it towards different outcomes and experiences”. There are multiple endings in store, “with hidden variables persisting between game runs” to encourage replay.
It’s out summer 2024 on both Steam and Microsoft Store. Developer Hack The Publisher’s previous works include the much merrierDwarven Skykeepand “Korean-style” brawlerVengeance Of Mr Peppermint. If you get a kick out of the Centum trailer you might also enjoySubmachine: Legacy.
