Obsidian Entertainment’s critically acclaimed narrative adventure Pentiment is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Available as a digital download for $19.99 USD, Pentiment is a truly unique title featuring a striking visual style inspired by history itself. Its initial release earned multiple perfect review scores and accolades including Best Narrative award at the GDC Awards 2023 among several other industry nominations in areas such as art, innovation, writing, and game of the year.
In Pentiment, players step into a living illustrated world inspired by illuminated manuscripts and printed woodcuts in a time when Europe is at a crossroads of great religious and political change. Walk in the footsteps of Andreas Maler, a journeyman artist who finds himself in the middle of murders, scandals, and intrigue in the 16th Century Bavarian Alps. Choices and consequences will play out over a generation, spanning a 25-year period in the small community.
