Pentiment Review

10

EDITORS' CHOICE

masterpiece

Pentiment is a clever Late Medieval detective story with a gorgeously-realized world that I can hardly recommend highly enough.

Summary

Pentiment is a historical mystery game that focuses on character development, heavily stylized art, and choice-driven storytelling in early 16th century Germany. The main character is a clever illustrator caught up a series of murders at Kiersau Abbey over twenty five years.
