Finished in 2024 on Steamdeck
I didn’t think a medieval murder mystery would leave me emotionally scarred, but here we are. Pentiment is a beautiful piece of storytelling and artistry. Trying to uncover the mystery of Tassing piece by piece, spanning multiple generations - the story really had me gripped and left me wanting more each act. It really felt like the choices I made and the things I said mattered.

This is a game mainly about human relations, and how eople see situations differently depending on their past or social status. Characters felt completely real and their logic was sound.
There are a LOT of characters, which sometimes made it difficult to keep track of them all. Navigation areound the stage also felt a bit clunky sometimes.
