Though we’ve known about Pentiment for while now thanks to a leak late last year, the game scored the proper announcement treatment during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022. Alongside, we learned that Pentiment, 16th-century narrative adventure game directed by Studio Design Director Josh Sawyer, is heading to Xbox Game Pass on day one in November 2022.
Here is it in action below.
The art style draws heavily from era-appropriate manuscripts and wood prints. Pentiment’s gameplay weaves a mix of puzzles and impactful narrative decision-making. You’ll play Andreas Maler, an errant artist hard at work bringing to life his masterpiece. A series of murders upturns life in the Kiersau Abbey scriptorium gets where our artist dwells. Maler then embarks on a journey to investigate these deaths and expose the truth.
Pentiment Overview
Here’s a brief overview from Obsidian Entertainment:
“In Pentiment, you play Andreas Maler, a journeyman artist working in the bygone scriptorium of Kiersau Abbey during a time of great social unrest. While finishing his masterpiece, Andreas inadvertently becomes entangled in a series of murders that take place over 25 years. Peasants, thieves, craftsmen, monks, nuns, nobles, and even saints must be investigated and interrogated to expose the truth.
It will be up to players to decide Andreas’ choices, from his educational background and lifestyle to how he investigates the murders. One day he may be digging up a dead monk in the abbey cemetery, the next might be spent eavesdropping on peasant gossip at the ladies’ spinning bee. Every decision and accusation he makes carries consequences that will impact the tightly-knit Alpine community for generations to come.
We are very excited to share this unique interpretation of life in 16th-century Germany. We can’t wait to release more information with you about Pentiment leading up to its launch this November.“
Pentiment launches for on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox Game Pass, and PC (including Steam) in November this year.
