General News - Pentiment - New RPG from Obsidian?

WindowsCentral reports that Obsidian is possibly developing a narrative RPG called Pentiment:

Grubb mentioned that Pentiment takes cues from the likes of Disco Elysium and the branching narrative designs Josh Sawyer is known for. You'll be able to investigate and make accusations against the characters in-game, which could lead to cascading consequences if you're wrong. It'll be a dialogue-heavy game with decisions to make and response options to choose from, which will shape your experience as you unwrap the murder conspiracy before you.

I am told that Pentiment is being built by a small team of around 12 people, and is more of a narrative RPG adventure than something combat-oriented. The art asset above may represent some of the designs the game is gunning for.

Speaking of which, Grubb also noted that Pentiment is indeed gunning for a 2022 launch.
