The player assumes the role of Andreas Maler, a journeyman artist working at Kiersau Abbey, who becomes entangled in a series of murders and mysteries that span over two decades.
Through his choices, Andreas navigates tensions between peasants, nobles, clergy, and scholars, gradually shaping the fate of the town of Tassing and its people.
The narrative is heavily influenced by historical context, drawing on Renaissance art, literature, and politics.
Gameplay focuses on dialogue-driven investigation rather than combat.
Players explore hand-illustrated environments styled after period manuscripts and woodcuts, moving between the abbey, village, and countryside to speak with townsfolk and gather evidence.
During investigations, the player decides how Andreas spends his limited time each day, choosing which leads to pursue and which conversations to prioritize.
The information collected is then used to form accusations, though uncertainty and incomplete knowledge mean outcomes are never fully guaranteed.
Character progression is defined through Andreas’s background, which is selected at the beginning of the game.
Players can choose areas of study such as law, theology, medicine, or languages, as well as practical experiences like crafts or travel.
These choices open or restrict dialogue options and investigative opportunities, shaping how townsfolk react and what evidence Andreas can interpret.
Growth occurs primarily through narrative decisions and social interactions.
The game’s systems emphasize consequence and memory.
Choices made in one chapter carry forward into the next, influencing character relationships, alliances, and trust.
Villagers remember past actions, and events echo years later as the story spans multiple generations.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Pentiment for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pentiment to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2022.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pentiment, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
