Evaluation

Sentience: The Android's Tale launched on June 2, 2017 as a complete, self-contained choice-based narrative adventure. The developer shipped two post-launch patches in June and October 2017 to fix bugs and add quality-of-life features, and then added Mac OS X support on March 23, 2018. Since that Mac support update, there have been no further posts, patches, or communications specifically about this game — the developer's subsequent news has focused entirely on other titles in their catalog (The Deed II, Space Pilgrim Academy, A Sceptic's Guide to Magic). The store description presents a fully realized game with a defined scope: a cast of 24 colonists, a mystery narrative, and at least a dozen possible endings. No DLC, expansions, or post-launch content were ever announced for this title. The developer's news about future plans (referenced in April 2019) concerns the Space Pilgrim Academy series, not Sentience. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap, and no developer communication indicating further content is planned for this game. It launched as a finished product and its development activity concluded with the March 2018 Mac support update.

About this game

Sentience: The Android's Tale is a choice-based narrative adventure game from the creator of The Deed series and the Space Pilgrim saga.

  • Play through a complex narrative which is influenced by your decisions. Freedom of choice does not come without consequence, for humans or robots. Will you be an obedient servant or plant the seeds of chaos?

  • Interact with the forgotten pioneers, the twenty-four colonists stationed on the borderworld of Akritas. Get to know their various stories and backgrounds, obey their commands and earn their trust (or not, as the case may be).

  • See the world through the eyes of an android and encounter relevant questions about the future of artificial intelligence.

  • At least a dozen possible endings. Every major character may survive or perish during the game as a result of your choices and actions.

  • Uncover the mysteries of this desert planet on the edge of space and learn the true nature of your mission, all while reliving the days of good old-fashioned point-and-click adventure games.

  • Features mouse, keyboard and controller support.
