'Kentum' Details Its Three Distinct Gameplay Modes - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 21, 2025 @ 10:13 a.m. PDT

Kentum is a 2D craftervania adventure where you craft, farm, and rebuild civilization alongside your quirky robot best friend.

Stranded in the year 10,000, Kent—an average Joe turned clone—must survive, explore, and rebuild civilization with the help of a quirky robot companion. Craft, farm, and automate in this 2D craftervania adventure as you uncover Earth’s secrets and kickstart humanity, one machine at a time.

As Kent, explore the abandoned and hostile world you now call home alongside your matter-of-fact robot companion, ORB. Tired, hungry, and still employed, he will need to explore the unknown to craft the machines that will turn his broken space module into a self-sufficient base of operations.

Gather resources, catalog new findings, and turn your knowledge into steel by building everything from bases and farms, and eventually, automated factories. However, you aren't entirely alone in this world, as unfriendly monsters lie waiting to snuff out your existence.

While Kent is a clone who cannot permanently die, try to avoid biting the dust too often, as it's still a major inconvenience.


Developer Tlön Industries has revealed that Kentum will now launch with three distinct gameplay modes—Story Mode, Creative Mode, and Sandbox Mode—offering players new ways to experience the vast, ever-evolving world.

In Story Mode, players will follow Kent’s journey as he awakens after a millennia-long nap to a world transformed into a strange yet intriguing landscape to explore. Through humor, scientific knowhow, and gumption, players will uncover the mysteries of this far-future Earth while building, crafting, and automating their way to a thriving base of operations to save humanity or live out a lifetime of being constantly cloned.

For those who prefer boundless creativity, Creative Mode allows you to build freely with infinite resources—no hunger, no danger, and no limits. Construct elaborate bases, test automation setups and share your creations with the Discord community all while dealing with sassy commentary from your 'helpful' companion Orb. 

Meanwhile, Sandbox Mode strips away the narrative to focus purely on the survival experience, challenging players to fight giant spiders, tame carnivorous plants, mitigate massive shifts in the weather forecast, and make due with so few resources that even Kent’s corporate overlords would be in a tough spot. It's up to you to decide how you spend your time in the wild, weird, and wondrous world of Kentum!

New Game Modes and Features

  • Three distinct game modes: Story, Creative, and Sandbox

  • 30+ hours of gameplay packed with discovery and automation

  • Dynamic weather and survival systems that shape every playthrough

  • Base-building and crafting that evolve from primitive to industrial

  • Witty narrative blending humor and post-apocalyptic mystery

Whether diving into Creative Mode to build to your heart’s content or tackling the survivalist approach in Sandbox Mode, there are many exciting ways to experience Kent and Orb’s adventure when the game launches.

Key Features:

  • Explore, Scan, and Catalogue: Discover the wonders and the oddities of a vast, ever-changing world filled to the brim with fascinating flora, fauna, and climate events. Classify every animal, plant, and mineral in order to help you survive the passing seasons. 
  • Craft it to the Limit: Use every material at your disposal to build your base. Start small by turning wood into coal, machine scraps into sheets of metal, and slowly but surely grow your base into a full-blown resource-generating machine that can rival any factory in the world.
  • Survive… or Not! You’ll Be Cloned Anyways: Even though Kent will be revived endlessly, that doesn’t change the fact that dying is a major drag. You’ll need to gather and hunt for food, find new recipes, and polish your cooking skills. Building your own farms and vivariums is your ticket to a steady source of nourishment.
  • Build the Home Base of Your Dreams: Expand your home base and create an automated system to allow you to streamline and optimize your productions while you are off exploring. 
  • Traverse Exotic Locales in Style: From vibrant jungles to desolate ruins, traverse post-apocalyptic Earth with your hoverboard, hang glider, grappling hook and more. It is up to you to maneuver with equal parts adventure and efficiency.

Kentum is coming to PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on November 6, 2025.
