Pentiment is a narrative-driven adventure game from Obsidian Entertainment. Set in 16th century in the fictional town of Tassing, Bavaria, the game centers on Andreas Maler, an illuminator (artist) working at the local Abbey. When a murder of a prominent noble occurs, Andreas begins an investigation in the name of helping a friend. The player is able to wander around the town, interviewing various characters in an attempt to get at the truth — despite the fact that there never seems to be enough time and the answers seem hard to unravel. One of the many things that makes this game so compelling to me is how it presents various perspectives on the truth (eliminating any clear objectivity) and how it deals with the passage of time. As the title hints at (a pentiment is an underlying image or forms that have been painted over), the "truth" is often a layering of stories and time. Pentiment is a game I'll likely play again, as I'm curious how the different choices that the player makes affect the storytelling and how the various truths layer upon one another. #games #gamestoplay #Pentiment #Pentimentgame #gamereview #gamer #gamelover #narrativegame #adventuregames #gamestagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTRXcgvonL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
