A guide to Pentiment's Console

This is a guide on how to "cheat" using the console, as well as the saves location in order to see as much content in as little time as possible.

Useful Console Commands

The console can be accessed through the ~/` key on the Steam version. It is not available on the Gamepass version. Be careful when using console commands, as they can mess up your save! Use them at your own risk and make a backup of your saves.

• AddBackground bg/RemoveBackground bg - in order to add a background, type "AddBackground bg" and press tab to cycle through the available backgrounds. The game will freeze if you add them before the moment where you choose them in game (conversations with Big Jorg, Lorenz, etc.) After adding too many backgrounds, the game will freeze if you access the "Ex Libris" journal tab (pressing C), but every other journal tab will work fine. You can remove backgrounds by typing "RemoveBackground bg" and cycling through them with tab again.

Game Saves

Saves are located in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pentiment. The game autosaves on 8 different slots at regular intervals. Every time you want to keep one of your saves to go back to later, just copy/paste it in a directory named after that moment in the game, and when you want to go back to it, just copy/paste it back in the main directory (don't forget to backup your current saves as well).

Then in the main menu, click on "new game", then on the blue arrow next to your save in order to access the autosave slots.

Closing Words

Thank you for reading this far, and credit goes to Archilock on steam for allowing their findings to be used in this guide and inspiring me to look deeper into the console.

"AddBackground bg" works fine for me, but "RemoveBackground bg" doesn't seem to work…after pressing Enter just nothing happens

I ended up needing to load a specific scene (the cookie baking scene) so I didn’t have to do an entire third playthrough. I’ve figured out a whole bunch more console commands in the process, so hopefully what I’ve found will help someone else
Map format: maps for the first two acts are in the format actnumber_location
For example:
02_goldenhand
For act 3, the season is added at the end
For example:
03_goldenhand_winter
To load a scene type
transitiontonewactscene mapname wp_character_action
With character actions, if you enter wp_character for that parameter where character is the name of a character you know is in that scene, the console will list the variants of that character. Pick the action you know that character is doing in that scene
For example:
03_steinaurhouse_winter wp_agnes_wreathmaking
The scene this loads will be jumbled, but if you interact with the prompt you’re directly in front of it should fix itself
This should allow you to load any scene in the game!
