99. Later Alligator

I really want to see more indie games like this. It strikes me as something that is almost impossible to dislike. It's fun, it's funny, it's silly and stylistic. I'm honestly surprised the game didn't take off more than it actually did, it seems like the kind of thing I would've expected to get big on Tiktok or something for being so wholesome. The gameplay doesn't change the game or anything but it is definitely a fun way to spend a day.

I've had trouble pinpointing exactly how I feel about Pentiment. At first, I dug the art style, but thought the gameplay, which basically consists of running back and forth across the town, felt kind of monotonous. And, I mean, it kind of is, but the story draws you in enough to barely notice as it goes. The biggest mechanic you're fighting is time, where you have to solve a murder mystery but you don't have enough time to explore all the potential clues. You have to accuse someone despite it being impossible to have all the facts, and there are real consequences of your actions. And the style of using different classical fonts to show the social status of the characters speaking is such a fantastic design choice.

Think Pokemon Snap if it was a point-and-click adventure game. It's addicting just taking pictures of everything you see, and the game is packed full of reasons to do so. There are puzzles to solve, sure, but the biggest draw is just navigating the different environments and seeing what all they have to offer. There are animals to seek out and photograph, and many characters have special photos you can take of them under the right circumstances.
