A list of the game features of Inquisitor

Story Background Overview

The Inquisitor is a story-driven dark fantasy adventure game that combines gripping narrative with action elements. Set in a reimagined religious reality inspired by Jacek Piekara’s bestselling Inquisitor series, the game invites players to confront harrowing moral dilemmas.

In this twisted tale, Jesus, while crucified and on the brink of death, erupts with rage, breaking free from his chains to unleash violent retribution on all who refuse to convert. Centuries later, a fanatical army of inquisitors rises, instilling fear and forcing conversions under the blood-soaked banner of their faith.

You play as Mortimer Maddin, a mid-level Holy Judge dispatched to the small, troubled town of Königstein. Amidst a backdrop of mysterious events and sinister crimes, it is your duty to solve cases, pursue wrongdoers, punish faith violators, and confront a dark evil intent on breaching the world of the living.

Inquisitor Game Features at a Glance

Become a Mid-Level Holy Judge
As a Judge, your mission is to uphold order and strengthen faith in God. Yet, in a world rife with sin, your decisions will hold profound consequences. Navigate multiple story-driven cases and quests where morality is a gray area. Will you exhibit mercy or pursue unwavering devotion to divine law? The choice is yours.

A Non-Linear Story of Moral Complexity
Experience a dark, non-linear narrative that explores themes of violent retribution and moral ambiguity. This gritty tale branches into various story arcs that challenge your ethical beliefs. Shape your identity as a Judge—balancing mercy against vengeance—and determine the legacy you will leave behind.

Enlightened Investigation
Mortimer possesses unique skills and abilities to unravel the mysteries plaguing Königstein. Track down suspects, conduct interrogations, and piece together evidence to unveil the town’s hidden truths. Will you discover the reality behind the shadows?

Delve into the Otherworld
Unbeknownst to his partners, Mortimer can access a mysterious otherworld, where he can reveal secrets hidden deep within suspects’ souls. However, entering this realm comes at a significant risk; dark forces lurk, eager to destroy any who challenge their dominion.

“Persuasive” Questioning
In the 16th century, justice was often brutal. As an inquisitor, you wield the freedom to employ various methods to “persuade” suspects into revealing the “truth.” Drawing inspiration from historical Inquisition practices, it falls to you to decide whether to implement these interrogation techniques and how far to push your approach.

Let the Blade Speak for You
At times, cutting off a suspect’s tongue may be the only way to extract the truth. The game features a comprehensive sword fighting system, allowing you to wield violence as both a tool and an obligation for progression. Master your blade, exploit your enemies’ weaknesses, and assert your justice in this dark world.
