Tlon Industries has released the gameplay trailer for Kentum, a 2D ‘craftervania’ adventure set in the year 10,000. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025.
Here’s a description:
Stuck in the year 10,000, Kent—an ordinary guy turned clone—must survive, explore, and rebuild civilization with a sarcastic AI’s help. Build, farm, and automate in this 2D craftervania adventure while rebooting humanity one machine at a time.
After a record-breaking millennia-long nap, Kent wakes up in 10,000 AD with nothing but a wood plank and a ruthlessly pragmatic robot companion. Tired, hungry, and annoyingly still employed, he must explore the unknown to create machines that transform his wrecked space module into a self-sufficient base. And maybe restart civilization. If there’s time.
Discover the wonders and oddities of a vast, ever-shifting world overflowing with peculiar flora, fauna, and weather events. Catalog every animal, plant, and mineral to survive seasonal shifts. Knowledge is your greatest weapon. But don’t try using it on certain creatures—or you WILL BE DEVOURED.
Use all available materials to construct your base. Start small—turn bones and wood into charcoal, scrap into metal plating—then evolve it into a resource-generating machine rivaling any factory.
Though Kent revives infinitely, dying remains a massive hassle. To avoid it, he must hunt and harvest food, discover recipes, and master cooking. Build farms and hatcheries to ensure steady sustenance.
