Our take on Repentant

Its hand-painted scenes and puzzle-focused point-and-click format keep attention on Oliver’s story, but leave little room for action-led play. The premise also centers on remorse, strained family ties, and alcohol dependence, making its dramatic focus a constraint for players seeking lighter subject matter.

What is Repentant?

Repentant is a point-and-click adventure with hand-painted locations.

The story follows Oliver, an experienced criminal who feels remorse over the harm his past actions caused his family. His attempts to reconnect with his ex-wife fail, while his alcohol dependence worsens. When Oliver witnesses a young girl robbing a small shop, he sees a chance to make amends by helping someone, though the story leaves open who needs help and who is the victim. Gameplay includes exploring locations and solving puzzles. The game is partially a sequel to Little Kite, but can be played without knowing that game. It also includes a soundtrack by Abstracode and English voice acting.

How Repentant plays

01Hand-painted locations: Exploration moves through illustrated settings that provide the backdrop for the puzzles.
02English voice acting: Spoken dialogue is performed in English.
03Standalone sequel: The story connects partly to Little Kite but does not require familiarity with it.
