Pantaloon’s game for May is: Penrose

Pantaloon's game for May is the reality-bending and truly unique Penrose; interactive fiction that plays with language to create an immersive narrative experience.

Pantaloon has a mission to platform the peculiar; games that might be shunned or simply ignored by the mainstream; games that push the envelope or abuse genre boundaries.

And Penrose is the embodiment of this mission.

Watch the trailer!

About Penrose:

Penrose is a non-linear interactive novella unlike anything you've played before. Scroll forwards and backwards through an ever-changing story, causing ripples of effect that can change the past as well as the future.

Featuring a hauntingly original score written and recorded by international artist VANCORVID.

Manipulate the environment.

Explore every possibility.

Track your progress through an ever-evolving narrative with characters weaving in and out of overlapping, branching perspectives.
