An Unreliable Narrator Guides You Through This Creepy-Looking Adventure Game

During the ID@Xbox presentation, we got a creepy but intriguing look at Centum, an upcoming point-and-click adventure game scheduled to launch sometime this summer. The game is set to release for Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Centum sees you trying to escape a strange cell, but the announcement trailer hints that there may be more to the story. The environment of your prison shifts and changes, and the Steam page for the game says that you’re at the mercy of an unreliable narrator. Though the art style and situation are different, I get big Doki Doki Literature Club and Slay the Princess vibes from the trailer.

Centum does not feature a singular protagonist; rather, you’ll guide the ego states of multiple characters and influence how each relate to one another. This, in turn, shapes the story and can lead to one of multiple endings. In addition, the game’s Steam page says, “With hidden variables persisting between game runs, each playthrough offers new twists, ensuring that no two experiences are alike.”
