Pentiment

一瞥中世纪 领主、教会、黑死病……一系列陌生但有趣的词语组成了我们对于中世纪的幻想——而这款游戏让15世纪真实的社会生活“隐迹渐显”。在庞杂的历史人物、复杂的政治斗争、残酷的社会制度之下，游戏在巴伐利亚山谷的小小一隅，以独特的美术风格构建了一个有着过去，更向着未来的村庄。这个村庄的日常生活即是中世纪文化风俗的展示，而游戏的整个过程，不仅是两代人的接续探案与揭秘，更是将遥远年代中的“人”重新展示在我们的面前——他们的身份、他们的生活，都脱离不开今天现代人也在遵循的规则，也正是这种跨越了历史与时空、文化与语言、媒介与维度的联系，使得游戏中的人物与故事令人久久不能忘怀。整个游戏故事纵然有着诸多的源头，但是即使不去对于其中涉及的原著、历史、文化背景多加了解，也足以被这个故事所打动，被整个氛围所感染。每一次调查时都恨流程匆匆，来不及参与所有角色的人生故事之中，所以非常推荐多次游玩，感受不同人物身上的独特魅力。 需要另外说明的是，游戏中需要多次在村庄、树林与教堂之间来回奔波，这点是无论如何都避免不了的。在这个过程中纵然对于能如此深入参与社会生活而感受沉浸式氛围，但假如建议不必要流程的游戏玩家还是需要慎重考虑是否购入。

Cara que jogo sensacional, os diálogos, a escolhas, as anotações de explicação, o mistério que transforma essa historia incrível. As minhas suspeitas sobre o mentor dos crimes na metade do segundo ato, se tornaram verdadeiras no final.

Neat game, and even a bit moving, considering the quality of its story and characters. Being a history nerd myself, as the developers clearly are, helps a lot here. That said, I enjoyed it far more while I still believed my investigation, and above all the quality of my deductions, would make a significant difference. You do change the fate of some individuals, and that much is real, but you never see it resonate in any structural way in the village itself, which is what I was hoping for. What I wanted even more was for good investigative work to translate into better options. Dig deeper, reason more carefully, and you should end up with more room to act and better choices to make when the moment comes. Instead the story stays linear with some variation around the edges, and what changes most from one playthrough to the next is dialogue. That's frustrating and deflating, and it's why Act 1 was absolutely gripping while my enthusiasm kept draining away over the acts that followed. Everything else, though, is remarkable. The art is gorgeous, the sound design is outstanding, and the attention to detail is obsessive in the best way. The historical, political and religious texture of the period comes through the writing and the visuals with a richness you almost never see, and as a way of conveying real knowledge about a time and place, it's an incredible piece of work.

就像名字本身，隐迹渐显，塔兴小镇的历史要从什么时候说起才好？被埋藏的罗马遗迹，密特拉神殿长眠在这森林，无人再祭拜我们的神明了，谋杀案的真相随着火焰燃烧，就像那本书随着图书馆化为灰烬，安德里亚斯试图拼凑的真相从未被人在意，我们只能学会后悔，却无法挽留，修士与神殿，而你又得到了什么呢？付出20年的时间来默哀一切已不复往，卡斯帕的面容你还想得起来吗？她还记得起父亲说的最后一句话吗？像圣克莱门特教堂一般，我们的过去被层层堆叠，这回忆如此破碎不堪，每一次触摸裂痕，你的灵魂就似震颤般痛苦，还记得第一次来塔兴时，艾多克修士说的话吗？还记得唱诗班的圣歌是如何洗涤你的灵魂的吗？还记得盛开的果树和驴蹄草吗？一切已不复来，世人传唱我们无法选择的命运，伤口会被时间埋藏在你的心底，唯有那玫瑰的名字流芳百世。 塔兴选择了自己的故事... 圣诞快乐，致这舟愚人船上的——安德里亚斯·梅勒尔

사운드 좋음 번역 안 좋음 게임 재밌음

Pentiment tells a story spanning several generations in a German Renaissance setting. It's a mixture of murder mystery and depiction of life in a rural ambience with historical references. As a work of fiction I found it believable and to be reasonable for the most part (but I'm also no historian). Things that annoyed me were woke elements (e.g. two black characters in a Renaissance Europe setting, feminism perk, the mute flute player with his long chalkboard animation and zero meaningful things to say) as well as feeling of the game being grindy at times. You have to visit the same locations for dozens of times if you don't want to miss anything. That becomes exhaustng. Special nitpicking note: the murderer notes were not translated into proper German. Overall I enjoyed the story, though I saw the ending coming from a mile away (not in detail but roughly). The depictions were beautiful, the story-telling was nuanced, the musical performances were nice (albeit few) as were the historical references. The generational story-telling also had its charm though it eventually also became a bit confusing as to who is the child of whom. Furthermore, the game kept up the illusion of the player choices having a strong story impact rather well. It took me 24 hours to complete the game without starting over. i may have been away from the machine for a few hours though.

Masterpiece! We need so many more games like Pentiment. It’s a historical detective story set in medieval Bavaria. It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite books - 'The Name of the Rose', which was a big inspiration from what I heard. Don’t expect much action or flashy gameplay. This game is all about story, characters, and history itself -how it’s made and written, what gets remembered, and how different versions of history emerge. The writing is great. The art style is gorgeous, fitting, and really unique. If you enjoy story-driven games, interactive fiction, and an accurate depiction of the past - this is something special. A rare work of art in the medium of video games. 10/10

Pentiment é uma verdadeira obra de arte feita com amor, riquíssima em detalhes e com uma direção visual digna de todos os elogios. As suas escolhas realmente impactam o mundo ao seu redor. Uma experiência profunda e verdadeira, recomendo.
