Sorry Josh Sawyer, I have to disagree: the murderer was whoever I said it was.
Some minor spoilers for Pentiment here, but in the game you don’t just go about your days scrawling some lovely artwork for a local church, as before long you suddenly find yourself at the centre of a murder conspiracy. For plot reasons, you’re also the only person with the wit and will to pin the blame on someone, but no matter how hard you work to dig up the truth, you’ll never know for sure if you got the right guy.
According to Pentiment’s director Josh Sawyer, that’s by design. Speaking with PC Gamer, Sawyer said that the team never really had a «real murderer» in mind.
