Pentiment invigorated so many odd feelings that it's no small task to tackle.

You should know that the art style is amazing, and they went miles ahead to ensure artistic and historic accuracy. Shit's real when you find a bibliography being cited in the credits roll.

Narrative is the focus and it was done to a T. The intertwining lines, overlaps and contradictions might overwhelm a hesitant person, but in Pentiment tough choices are to be decided and for you to live with them.
One of my few grievances is that the game could have been much more reinforced with voice acting, and seeing how disco Elysium benefited much from its final cut I believe pentiment is worthy of such treatment.
