Our games of 2022 series continues with a look at Pentiment
It comes from pentimento, an overpainted image that is becoming visible. This is itself derived from the Italian, pentirsi, to repent or change one’s mind. It’s a rare occasion in which the game’s title tells you exactly what’s coming. This is emblematic of the confidence with which Pentiment handles its themes.
This is driven by the most fundamental of narrative concepts, one that is too often mishandled in gaming stories: conflict. The conflict between peasants and nobility; between inertia and change; between desire and duty. All of this focussed on the eternally conflicted Andreas. If, at first, you see only an historical whodunnit, Pentiment reveals throughout its runtime that it is ultimately not one but many stories. The narrative is driven by the idea that to uncover the truth beneath the ostensible painting of Tassing, one must wash away a protective surface that can never be retrieved. An ethical quandary of truth versus the potential to drive Tassing’s people to ruin – illustrated by the fact that characters fade as they age.
