'Pentiment,' a new narrative adventure game, comes to Xbox Game Pass Nov. 15.
Obsidian and Xbox revealed the new narrative adventure game would come to Xbox Game Pass Nov. 15. Inspired by illuminated manuscripts, woodcut printing and books like the “Nuremberg Chronicle,” the art is highly stylized and has a Renaissance-like quality to it. It’s set in sixteenth century Bavaria, in Germany, and comes to Xbox consoles, PC and cloud gaming in November for $19.99.
The protagonist, Andreas Maler, is an artist working during a time of societal upheaval, who ends up getting involved in investigating a series of murders. As the player, you must scrutinize nuns, nobles, peasants, thieves and saints to solve crime. Maler’s work includes examining the murder victim’s body and questioning villagers’ motivations, or sometimes just helping them around the house.“Pentiment” is not a role-playing game, developer Obsidian Entertainment’s usual fare.
The name of the game comes from an art term, referring to an element within a painting resurfacing after an artist painted over it.Both Sawyer and art director Hannah Kennedy had an interest and fascination with art history and history more broadly, which seeped into “Pentiment’s” design. “Art history had a huge impact on the creation of this game, in part because it is a history game.” Kennedy said. “At its core, this is a story about the experience of working artists at the time. So there was a lot to learn from art history, to inform that character and how they exist within this world about also inform how the space looks.
Kennedy said her background attending a Western art school informed her knowledge of how artists in that time period worked, and added that given that there were no cameras back then, developers based their historical depiction on era-appropriate paintings.“The main draw that we feel this game presents to players is a very unique art style,” Sawyer said.
