What is Sentience?

In this free-to-play, first-person stealth game, robots compete for control of a society left behind by humans. Round-based online matches pit two teams of up to four against each other: Rogues blend in with computer-controlled robots while hacking terminals or delivering armed crates, and Sentinels try to identify and catch them.
