About the Game

Sentience is an online multiplayer game where 2 teams of up to 4 players wrestle for control of society long after the humans they were built to replace have disappeared.

Blend in as a Rogue

Use your intelligence and blend in with the AI as a Rogue to avoid detection.

The Sentinels are Watching

Assert control as the Sentinels tasked with catching Rogues and preventing anything, or anyone, from deviating.

Do What it Takes

Use your abilities and perks for detecting a sentient Rogue or escaping a Sentinel's clutches.

Customize your Bot

Spend your hard-earned bolts and processors to customize your robots with unique cosmetics. Change your hat, head, torso and legs to create your ideal robot. Use the ‘Chicken Dance’ taunt as a Rogue to tease a nearby Sentinel or use a ‘Jazz Hands’ finisher to show off your Sentinel skills.
