I really enjoyed Pentiment. Its pretty original. And remind me a little bit of Disco Elysium but just for the structure of the video game: how narrative is it and the focus on the story. Here we follow an artist who will witness the conflicts of different people in the church and religious people about different problems (taxes, love, relationship and even murder). Yes there will be some murders and we will try to know who did this. And our choices will make the story more engaging and will make us more focus because some choices ( who will be killed for the murder is pretty brutal and we need to choose wisely and also what we did and who we talked to during the time that was free is really important to gather informations and make an opinion. But not all the people will like this game for sure. It have a lot of text to read, need some attention and the gameplay can be repetitive because we just clicked the whole time. But really get into the game even if im not really religious and i didnt understand some of the problems in the church and stuff. But it was a good experience and we can really feel the impact of our choices. And thats a good thing. What i didnt like it was the fact that the game dont have voiceover so sometimes it can get pretty boring and lack of personality. We have only the sound of the atmosphere and the ambience. The murders story is going trough the whole game and that was pretty tense to see and to know if we will be able to catch the killer and reveal his/her crimes

A nice video game if you are patient, like read and more into story choices and gossip. Because after all, the game its just a way to gather infos about people and try to know more but sometimes its enough to make an interesting video game like this one. Pretty original.
