Each playthrough is its own unique labyrinth, thanks to Centum's ever-shifting nature. The dynamic dialogue choices presented allow you to influence each character's ego states and alter the narrative's trajectory. Centum remembers every decision, so make sure that you're confident in your choices – one wrong choice could cost you everything.
