In "Centum," players find themselves imprisoned in a mysterious cell with a daunting task: escape within 100 days. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that escaping may not be the true objective. This game plays with the player's mind, tricking them into thinking they're participating in a different type of game altogether.
"Centum" is presented as a long-lost game, never released, that takes players through perplexing scenarios filled with uncertainty and enigma. The game's narrative is driven by an unreliable narrator whose hints and guidance are meant to be questioned. Every choice and decision players make are remembered, even after restarting, adding layers of complexity to the gameplay.
The true nature of "Centum" is revealed through a mind-shifting plot twist: the game is actually an artificial intelligence designed for children's entertainment, now deteriorated and seeking interaction with the player. Players shape the AI's behavior through their choices, guiding it towards different outcomes and experiences.
