What is Pentiment?

An artist turns detective in this visually striking narrative adventure.

From Obsidian (The Outer Worlds, Pillars of Eternity II), Pentiment is a historical narrative adventure with a unique art style influenced by the illuminated manuscripts and woodcut prints of the 16th Century.

Play as master artist Andreas Maler as he is embroiled in a series of murders that take place in the fictional Bavarian village of Tassing and the neighboring Kiersau Abbey. Investigate these killings and enter a world of secrets, scandal and intrigue where your choices will have a lasting impact on the community for years to come.

What conspiracy lies at the heart of this grisly mystery?
