For those who’d instructed me again in early June that legendary RPG devs Obsidian Leisure can be releasing an journey recreation set round a medieval German abbey, I might’ve scoffed and known as you a charlatan. Pace forwards by means of time to right now, when Obsidian revealed that Pentiment is out on November fifteenth, and I’m genuinely happy to listen to it. Refresh your reminiscence of Pentiment by watching the sport’s trailer under.
Pentiment is ready throughout 1 / 4 of a century in sixteenth century Bavaria. It follows the investigations of journeyman artist Andreas Maler as he’s embroiled in murders and different dodgy shenanigans. You’ll be able to mould Andreas by selecting his background from choices reminiscent of Hedonist, Rapscallion or Bookworm.
Andreas solely has a restricted period of time to analyze, so that you’ll need to resolve how he goes about that – choices and accusations he makes stack up over time and folks will bear in mind them. It’s all achieved within the type of illuminated manuscripts and woodcuts, which is sort of an aesthetic.
I chatted with vid bud Liam about Pentiment after the sport was first proven on the Xbox and Bethesda Video games Showcase in June. It was my standout choose of this 12 months’s Not-E3, and I’m hopeful that Pentiment lives as much as its uncommon visuals and setting. Have a watch of the video right here, if you wish to be subjected to my dulcet tones.
Pentiment releases on PC and Xbox consoles on November fifteenth. You’ll find the sport on Steam, Microsoft Retailer or by means of PC Sport Go. It’ll set you again £15/$20/€20.
