About Penrose
"A strange thrumming then, not in the air or ears. Sensed dully in a way that I'd never felt before..."
From doublespeak games, the creative force behind the award-winning narrative adventure A Dark Room.
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. Manipulate the environment, explore every possibility, and unravel the mystery at the heart of everything. Featuring a hauntingly original score written and recorded by international artist VANCORVID.
Change the words and watch the effects ripple across the past and the future, with even subtle adjustments affecting the characters in unexpected ways. Catastrophe and salvation both are at your fingertips.
Track your progress through an ever-evolving narrative with characters weaving in and out of overlapping, branching perspectives.
An all-new original work by the creator of the acclaimed narrative idle-game, A Dark Room.
Steam edition comes with a brand new desktop-optimised interface, controller support, achievements, and never-before-seen concept art.

Not since Stellaris' Horizon Signal have I felt so powerfully about a cosmic horror story. This writer *gets* eldritch horror, in a way beyond expectation. It is a woven masterpiece, a tapestry of dread and longing and I daren't say more. Please, play it.2 found this helpful
how to write a visual novel without using Twine (and in a very inventive and interesting way)! Also, spooky, but like, pretty. The UI is very very clearly designed for a phone though.1 found this helpful
Fantastic, concise horror-novella experience. Makes me want to write, and compose music again. Love the dev notes.1 found this helpful
Truly unforgivable for a game like this not to have any sort of autosave feature. All progress from my first session lost, because I didn't exit the game exactly the correct way.
Amazing, in-depth story that you never want to put down
Love this kind of thing you should go play this
