i started this game blind only vaguely knowing that it's a medieval art game. i was so pleasantly surprised to know it was set in the early modern period and even more surprised (and horrified) that this was set in a benedictine abbey because i am studying under benedictine monks! i can never escape them, even in my personal life. this game is incredible, it's really enjoyable especially if you're into art, history, books
Pentiment tells the story of a small town in the early 16th century, set over a period of 30 years or so. It's a very slow burn and has basically no gameplay to speak of, but anyone who enjoys history (or simply a well told story about the lives of the characters) will find a lot to enjoy. Some of the choices in the game (especially at the climax of the story) made me really think about how I, the player, would even try to approach a complex moral dilemma like the characters are facing. It's not often a game does that, and I have to give props to the writers for pulling that off. I also appreciate that the game shies away from shallow characters: with very few exceptions, everyone is more complex than they appear on the surface, though depending on your choices you may not see the things that humanize those characters. Overall, I highly recommend this game. It's really unique, doesn't overstay its welcome, and has a lot of heart. Just don't expect it to be action-packed, because it isn't, and you won't be disappointed.
Pentiment affected me emotionally in a way I find very hard to describe. Not because of any single twist or tragedy, but because the entire game quietly reminds you of one hard truth: that time only moves in one direction . The game portrays this impermanence in subtle, yet deeply melancholic way. People age. Children grow up. Friends drift apart. Traditions disappear. Buildings decay. Entire generations pass through the same streets and leave almost nothing behind except fragments and reinterpretations. But despite all that, people still create art, tell stories, love each other and try to leave something behind. Somehow this is exactly what makes human life meaningful. Ultimately, the game tells you that history is not made of definite truths — it's made of memory, loss, revision, and whatever survives long enough for someone else to retell it. A story told imperfectly by people who weren't there.
I started Pentiment once some time ago, right at release, but I quit it somewhere in the middle. Something didn't work out back then and it didn't click. I decided to give it a second chance and try to let go of the events, decisions, and choices in the game, simply trying to live through the story. I liked it much more that way. This is a unique medieval/Renaissance detective RPG about an aspiring artist who accidentally gets drawn into investigating a murder mystery in the abbey of a small Bavarian town. The game is essentially a two-dimensional side-scroller executed in the style of illustrations from the early 16th century. And the RPG element here is unusual: there are no familiar stats, no inventory, no dice or chances - there are dialogues, a bit of role-playing, a bit of environmental exploration to use in dialogues, as well as choices and consequences. Even persuasion here depends solely on what you (didn't) do, (didn't) say, (didn't) discover. The game deliberately gives very little time to gather evidence and find the killer, and time relentlessly moves forward. The player is forced to make complex, often wrong decisions based on scraps of information, and then embrace those choices. And I like how the passage of years and generations is shown here. But I believe that the main greatness of the game lies in the research that was conducted for its creation, and its historical value as a snapshot of time. In terms of geography, economics, politics, religion, daily life and customs, culture and art. And each of these topics will be explored in detail in meaningful and inviting dialogues. Since the game is quite small and cheap, there is no voice acting. However, almost every character or social class has their own text font in the dialogues. It reflects their occupation, education, ability to read/write, tone, and language - this is a very unusual and cool idea. I have complaints about the third act, which is weaker than others in terms of pace and engagement/immersion. However, it brings many plot lines to a conclusion, as well as the main plot setup. Pentiment is a thought-provoking game unlike anything other, where the emphasis is made not on victory or achieving a goal, but on participation, immersion and living through a story.
