Pentiment will be released on November 15 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PC, and Steam and preorders and Game Pass pre-installs have begun. The game will be available on day one for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

The game is set during the time of the Holy Roman Empire in 16th century upper Bavaria. Journeyman artist Andreas Maler lives in the fictional town of Tassing and Kiersau Abbey and finds himself caught up in their murders and scandals. Players will make decisions for Andreas, including his educational background, lifestyle, and his behavior during the murder investigations. Time is limited, and it’s up to you whether you spend that scouring scenes for evidence or interviewing suspects while playing card games at the tavern. These decisions will have an impact that affects future gameplay. All of the events take place through the art style of illuminated manuscripts and early modern woodcuts befitting the time period.
