Pentiment is an eloquent love letter to Bavarian Renaissance history, written in ornate purple calligraphy. The dedication to accuracy of the time period is immediately evident with one glance at the art style. The entire game looks ripped out of a medieval manuscript, and all text is displayed as if being written in by pen real-time. The game centers around a series of murders in a town and nearby abbey, and, with every clue, the main character gets tangled tighter into a web of lies and overwritten history. Pentiment pulls no punches; when someone gets murdered, someone else must be held responsible and have their life forfeit. Every dialogue choice can have a substantial impact on the town, and change it–for better or worse.

There is also an achievement titled “Among Us,” with the description “Discover the Imposter,” so it’s obviously an instant masterpiece.
