• 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 centred 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.

On this day, Christ Triumphant – our flaming Savior has been born. Let us honor him today and remember his Holy Wrath! The Community Team Freeky, Kaarl and Lunareiya, as well as the entire team behind The Inquisitor wish you a Merry Christmas!

Grab your swords and get ready, as The Inquisitor, will be released on February 8th, 2024, on Steam, Windows PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5. For those eager to plunge into the darkness, a behind the scenes video has been released from inside the recording studio where voice actor Jamie Maclachlan recorded the voice of the protagonist for the game, Mordimer Madderdin.

“The Inquisitor’s medley: question, pain. Question, pain. Question... Pain.”

This first developer diary will focus on Jamie’s enigmatic performance as Mordimer Madderdin, the titular inquisitor of the game. Delving into his interpretation of the character and giving special insights into how he performed the role.
Two additional developer diaries will be released leading up to launch, further exploring the team behind The Inquisitor, and the world (and Unworld) of the game’s story.
