Plot Of The Game

Pentiment focuses on art and character development. The game takes place in Germany in the early 16th century. The main character Andreas Maler is a clever illustrator who has been investigating a series of murders for twenty-five years. Andreas is the only one with the mind and will to expose the killers, but each of his decisions has long-term consequences and inexorably brings him closer to the center of a secret conspiracy.

Critics' Reviews

Critics have already published their reviews on Metacritic. The game received 86 points out of 100. Journalists note that Pentiment will definitely not leave the player indifferent after the game, and the historical truthfulness and moral choice of the character are successfully intertwined with each other. In general, Obsidian managed to create a medieval thriller that attracts attention. But among the disadvantages of Pentiment were noted the slow pace, lack of proper audio and the focus of the game, which sometimes wanders.
