Get a taste of the duties that come with being an enforcer of the Holy Law in the Demo for The Inquisitor, launching today and ending alongside the official Steam Next Fest on the 16th of October.
Join our The Inquisitor stream with producer Konstantin for an additional first glimpse of gritty Koenigstein on Thursday 28th of September at 7pm CEST!
The Inquisitor, which was recently shown exclusively to press at Gamescom, will let you meet the titular inquisitor, Mordimer Madderdin, for the first time in its playable demo! See the harbour and explore the marketplace within Koenigstein, and investigate the rumours of a vampire among the citizens. You will also get the chance to meet compelling characters, participate in the Grand Tournament within the city, and witness the enigmatic Unworld, where you will be able to slowly piece together the truth from shards of memories. The Inquisitor is releasing in February 2024 on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5.
The Inquisitor Features
- Be the ultimate Holy Judge and Jury: Your role as an Inquisitor is to maintain order and enforce the faith in God. But the world is full of sinners who have lost their way. Decide the fates of those you judge in multiple story-driven cases and missions. This is a world where morality and what is right have long strayed from each other. So, will you show mercy or undying belief in The Holy Law?
- A morally tainted, non-linear tale: This is a dark and gritty story centered around a religion preaching revenge and violence. Multiple branching story choices will test your morality. Choose your path and decide what kind of Inquisitor you will be - one of pity or one of retribution - and ultimately what mark you will leave on this world.
- Enlightened sleuthing: Mordimer has unique skills and abilities that allow him to solve the various crimes and mysteries that have befallen Koenigstein. Track down and interrogate suspects. Discover the hidden truths of the city and its inhabitants. Piece together the evidence and make your final judgments.
- Delve into the Unworld: Unbeknownst to those around him, Mordimer has the ability to enter the mysterious Unworld. There he can discover the deeper secrets that suspects have tried to hide in their souls. But there is a grave risk when venturing into this world and the dark force which reigns supreme here will do everything it can to destroy you for stepping foot into its realm.
- Persuasive interrogations: The 1500’s remain a cruel era of justice. As an Inquisitor, you have free rein to use whatever methods and tools deemed necessary to persuade suspects to reveal ‘the truth’. These optional interrogations date back to the times of the real Inquisition and it’s up to you to decide if and how much force to apply to those under your investigation.
- Let your sword do the talking: Sometimes a tongue just needs to be cut right out in order to loosen it. A full sword-based combat system means various cases will let or even require you to use brute force. Master your blade, find your openings, and use your enemy’s weak points against them.
