About Penrose
Penrose is a non-linear interactive novella in which you scroll forwards and backwards through an ever-changing story. You manipulate the environment by changing words, sending effects into both the past and the future, and explore the mystery at its center.
An evolving story
Even subtle changes to the words can affect characters in unexpected ways. The narrative follows overlapping, branching perspectives, with characters weaving in and out as you track your progress and explore different possibilities.
Music and extras
The game features an original score written and recorded by international artist VANCORVID. It also includes a desktop-optimized interface, controller support, achievements and concept art.
