Pentiment is an adventure video game by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game was released on November 15, 2022, for Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

Pentiment is a narrative adventure 2D role-playing video game set in Duchy of Bavaria, in a fictional Alpine town of Tassing and its nearby abbey, in early to middle 16th century. The player is tasked with investigating a series of murders of prominent individuals for which other townsfolk have been accused for various reasons. After collecting physical proof and gleaning information from townsfolk, the player is meant to accuse an individual based on either who they think committed the crime or who most deserves punishment. Concurrent with the overarching murder plot are other crimes and conspiracies as well as insights into the history of the area.

The game's art style is a mix of late medieval manuscripts, early print, and woodcuts at the transition from late medieval to early modern art. The music for the game was composed and performed by Alkemie Early Music Ensemble. As game director Josh Sawyer says, "[Alkemie is] a music group, they compose and record as an ensemble...the music they've contributed to the game is either strictly historical or historically inspired."] Lingua Ignota also composed the song "Ein Traum" for the game.
