Fallout: New Vegas's developer launches a new game revolving around a medieval murder mystery
13K View2022-11-15Obsidian Entertainment, the American developer best known for Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, releases a new game on November 15.
It's called Pentiment, which means "a reappearance in a painting of an original drawn or painted element which was eventually painted over by the artist", according to Merriam-Webster.
Unlike most of Obsidian's previous work (those action-packed RPGs), Pentiment is a dialogue-heavy adventure game set in the 16th century, a time that sees dramatic religious and political changes.
You'll play as a young artist named Andreas Maler to investigate a murder, of which your friend is accused.
Pentiment features a stylish storybook-like art style, reimagining the 16th century. If you are a hardcore Medieval history fan, this one is for you.
You can get Pentiment on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

Pentiment is much more than a simple click of a mouse button.
There are choices that are quite difficult to make, but what if those choices play such an important role in a narrative that goes hand in hand with our character's personality? Pentiment is much more than a simple click of a mouse button.
Andreas Maler, played by the player who will be in charge of deciphering the mysteries that this title will bring to the table, is a traveling artist and a dreamer, advised by imaginary entities during his sleep. Each of them is interpreted by his opinion. Between Saints, Priests and even the philosopher Socrates, opinions differ among them in an attempt to discuss ideas and shape an opinion about the changes that Andreas will be facing, due to the choices he made at a certain point in history. In fact, the adventure begins inside a dream of Andreas, who after waking up learns that court jesters are intractable.

Let's talk about Pentiment
Andreas Maler, the protagonist is a traveling artist and a dreamer, advised by imaginary entities during his sleep. Between his time in Tassing, the city that serves as the background for this adventure, he sees himself involved in a mystery murder without precedents.
100% Worth your time.
A breath of fresh air from the studios of Obsidian Entertainment.
Slow at certain points, but pertinent and interesting at just the right

The times when great developers made games we didn’t expect
Written by @Kef
Some game franchises are like clockwork. It may take a while, but Nintendo’s always going to bring us new Zelda and Mario games. Bethesda’s always brewing up the next Elder Scrolls adventure. And King has probably always got another Candy Crush Saga spin-off up its sleeves.
Knowing what we’re gonna get from our favorite developers is always nice. But you know what feels really special? When a developer surprises us with something totally unexpected! A JRPG team makes a platformer, a developer of hardcore PC sims makes a Diablo clone, or what about that time that the team behind one of the world’s darkest multiplayer games made...a dating sim?!
