Pentiment is a fantastic interactive visual novel. Everything about it oozes passion and creativity. The story is extremely page-turning.
One of my favorite aspects about it is that there are a lot of "persuasion checks" in the game that aren't blatantly shown to you, and you'll probably see "THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED" a lot of times when you won't expect it. The game essentially demands that you think carefully about the characters you speak with - consider their motivations, personalities, beliefs, and so on. From what I understand, the differing pathways don't have a large effect on where the story ultimately leads, but it still made the game feel like a much more interactive, organic experience than most narrative driven games.
If you're a fan of this type of thing, you will not want to miss this game!
