Pentiment's Andreas now playable in Inkulinati

One for the history books.

Obsidian's Pentiment and Inkulinati from Yaza Games both share a similar medieval-inspired painterly art style. So a crossover almost seemed inevitable.

Now it's actually happened, as Yaza Games announced that Andreas from Pentiment is playable in its ink-based strategy game about farting donkeys.

Andreas is playable in both the Journey mode and in Duels.

Pentiment players will recognise Andreas as the protagonist of the game - an apprentice who embarks on something of a murder mystery.

Inkulinati, meanwhile, is all about living ink, with scribes drawing a variety of animal chums to battle with, using bows, swords, and, erm, wind.

Both games share a similar aesthetic and sense of humour, so it makes sense these games would meet in the middle (ages).

Pentiment was well-received when it released at the end of last year. We described it as a "brilliant narrative adventure that is filled with intelligence and heart" in our Pentiment review, awarding it a Recommended badge.
