I've heard nothing but glowing reviews for this game.

Ah sorry, I only really play RPGs...

This one was panned by other writers, so... if you miss with your own demographic, how can you hit with anyone else?

Hm? A lot of game journalists loved it. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2022/11/16/sentiment

WOW PA's art has gotten bad. How is it that Mike has become technically more skilled and yet produces worse art? Absolutely hideous.

Anyway, no comment on Pentiment. I don't play VNs.

If you look at it like it's quest\adventure kinda game is it any good?

Well, I beat it. Wish I didn't.

It's fun when you can figure out the culprit in a mystery before it's revealed, but it's frustrating when you do it decades before the protagonists

I thought that the murderer is always whoever you pick? That's what I heard, anyway.

You need to accuse two people of murder, which is ultimately irrelevant and it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, but the real goal is to find the mastermind who's pushing people to commit the murders.

Good news, Pentiment fans! "The Making of Pentiment" documentary just came out.

Click randomly on the vid. It's a dangerhair landwhale gushing about animations, for a game that is comprised of 2d art. Then Soyer droning about c&c, for a game with zero consequences. We were inspired by Night in the Woods. Fucking obshitian
