Pre-Scylla vs. Post-Scylla Max | Murder on Eridanos pt. 2
Or to be more *technically* accurate:
Max if you have not yet gone to Scylla to complete his quest OR you’ve gone to Scylla and failed his quest by killing the Hermit before she allows you to partake of her sacramental incense OR you completed his quest by killing Chaney and failing the Hermit’s 70 Persuade skill check vs. Max if you have gone to Scylla and completed his quest by either sparing Chaney or passing the Hermit’s 70 Persuade skill check, and then completing the dialogue with the Vivid Hallucinations | Murder on Eridanos pt. 2

Set in 16th century Bavaria, Pentiment will take players on a narrative journey through the eyes of Journeyman Artist Andreas Maler during a time of great social unrest. Led by game director Josh Sawyer, this game is brought to life by a talented team inspired by illuminated manuscripts, woodcut prints, and history itself.
In Pentiment, you play Andreas Maler, a journeyman artist working in the bygone scriptorium of Kiersau Abbey during a time of great social unrest. While finishing his masterpiece, Andreas inadvertently becomes entangled in a series of murders that take place over 25 years. Peasants, thieves, craftsmen, monks, nuns, nobles, and even saints must be investigated and interrogated to expose the truth.
It will be up to players to decide Andreas’s choices, from his educational background and lifestyle to how he investigates the murders. One day he may be digging up a dead monk in the abbey cemetery, the next might be spent eavesdropping on peasant gossip at the ladies’ spinning bee. Every decision and accusation he makes carries consequences that will impact the tightly-knit Alpine community for generations to come.
We are very excited to share this unique interpretation of life in 16th-century Germany, and we can’t wait to release more information with you about Pentiment leading up to its launch this fall.
We are aware that fans of our studio are also excited for Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2. Our teams are chugging away on both games and when we are ready to show them off, trust us, we will.
Pentiment will release this November on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10/11, and Steam for $19.99. It will also be available as a day one release with an active Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass subscription.
