In 2022, the unusual adventure game Pentiment was released. As it turned out, the Obsidian Entertainment team originally had a different vision for the project’s title.
Pentiment game director Josh Sawyer shared the story behind the game’s title:
“The original non-working title of Pentiment was actually Palimpsest! Microsoft legal anticipated potential issues with clearing that title, so I changed the game to Pentiment.”
- (note on the word Palimpsest / Palimpsest: “in antiquity, this referred to a manuscript written on parchment that had already been used in such a manner before”).
Josh has no plans for a sequel to Pentiment or anything of that nature.
