Also you have to change the portrait of the former Abbot because he didn't have a mustache.

Pentiment’s text-based and adventure-adjacent qualities liken it to DE but it’s immediately evident from even the slightest comparison that they’re not at all similar in tone or approach. DE’s whole thing is verbose maximalism / postmodernism / cleverness. Pentiment is minimalist, straightforward, and earnest.

If this game gets you to (re-)read Name Of The Rose, as I am, and you want more then look at Jorge Luis Borges' stories. Many are also very much about learning and books, Eco's writing is somewhat similar too. Labyrinths is a great starting point, the original translation.

E: I also don't like the lack of "manual save." In 2022 I should be able to quick save any time I want. Not asking to have multiple saves so I could savescum, just the ability to "force save" because maybe I need something to do IRL and I can't/don't want to wait until the next auto save point (which I don't know when it'll happen).YOURFRIEND posted:I want to play this game because it is from my favorite developer, but it seems to be contextualized by a specific period of history and location that I know nothing about and frankly do not care about. Is it still worth playing? It sounds like the best reason to play, actually. Furism fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 15, 2022 |

Yeah exactly that's it I'm an adult and sometimes I need to put the game down and I might be back for (indeterminate period of time). Plus I'm just gonna alt-f4 repeatedly if the save point isn't literally after every conversation bubble is clicked. I'm gonna figure out some way to savescum, even if that means copying the save folder into multiple separate instances, a thing I have done before in roguelikes and will do again. Make it easy for me. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Nov 15, 2022 |

Does time pass when you talk to every person? Or just when you do certain actions? In other words can I spend my time talking to everyone in town before say going to work?

I like playing with the keyboard, but when I do the mouse cursor disappears. And that means I can't click on the contextual words in the dialogues - if I click it just moves the dialogue ahead. Is there something I'm missing?

I solved the murder...sort of. I had to frame the prior for it because there was no way I was throwing Lucky or Sister Mathilda under the ox-cart. I didn't have enough on Martin Bauer to frame him for it, he was out of town and a lovely husband and father so I thought I had a shot of framing him with no one getting hurt. I the end I suppose I fulifilled the goal I set out, to finger the person with the most institutional power I could justify. I couldn't find a way to frame the abbot.  Spent time in Flanders Rapscallion Studied Medicine Occultism and Nature for Interests And now I'm back in town after spending time in England. And we have the Return of Martin Guerre, or Martin Bauer I should say.

Already seeing a lot of thematic stuff that swirled around the periphery of PoE I don’t mind the lack of a save feature but I’m also approaching it as a game you really cannot and should not multitask around.

rope kid, game requires a workaround to launch on Linux/Proton though it works perfectly on Steam Deck/Proton. Just FYI. Workaround is documented here: https://www.protondb.com/app/1205520quote:Game would not launch without renaming SpeechSynthesisWrapper.dll in <install_folder>/Pentiment_Data/Plugins/ It's cool that you folks added text-to-speech, by the way. A very thoughtful detail. Basic Chunnel posted:I’ll have you know “Our Lady of the Labyrinths” is an extremely normal name for a 1500s parish

Is it still worth playing? I couldn't imagine being this incurious Anyway, the game's pretty cool. I'm in the finishing stages of the first murder mystery and feeling like I've hosed everything up chasing a bunch of interesting wild goose chases, and now if I try to do the right and truthful thing I mess up a bunch of plot threads I was interested in, not the greatest feeling but the game is good. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Nov 15, 2022 |
