Pentiment

This is a narrative-adventure game in which players assume the role of an illustrator (Andreas) who must uncover the truth behind a series of murders. As players explore a medieval abbey in Germany, they can make dialogue choices that influence the outcome of the narrative. Some choices lead to instances of violence and/or gore: a man using a rifle to shoot villagers; characters decapitated by an executioner; characters strangled to death; a man slicing a deer's throat—these sequences are often accompanied by blood stains/effects. The game contains some sexual material in the dialogue (e.g., “Well, there is a sore on his sex. Probably from the French disease...visiting brothels in Naples”; “Sex and death are common companions…”; “Besides sex isn't all that rare inside the abbey”; “...[T]he baron tried to seduce [her]. He dragged her into the woods…she had been beaten so badly she could hardly move.”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in the game.
