The Inquisitor News

[h2]This Easter, Christ descends full of wrath to seek revenge in new grisly game detail [/h2]

We have today released fresh story details for new title, The Inquisitor, offering a glimpse at the grim events that led to the city of Koenigstein’s turbulent history in the first teaser trailer. Prepare to put your judgement to the test in Q4 2023 when the dark fantasy title will be released on Windows PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5. Are you ready to unearth the truth of Koenigstein?

The Inquisitor transports players to an alternate 1500 A.D. rife with corruption and sin. In this alternate religious reality, Jesus did not die upon the cross but instead broke free and sought violent vengeance on non-believers. Centuries later, in the name of the Lord, an army of zealot Inquisitors continue to mercilessly enforce their so-called Holy Law. Set in the city of Koenigstein, players take on the role of Mordimer Madderdin, servant of God and an Inquisitor whose duty it is to investigate the crimes that plague the walls of the city. But, the malevolent mysteries extend far beyond the outskirts of Koenigstein. Unbeknownst to those around him, Mordimer is able to enter the mysterious Unworld. Here, he can uncover the sinister secrets that lie deep within the souls of his suspects... but at what cost? Take on multiple story-driven cases and use strategic sleuthing to track down and interrogate suspects, piece together evidence or even resort to brute force to reveal the sacred truth.

The Holy Office awaits your arrival in Q4 2023 when The Inquisitor will be released on Windows PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5.

• 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.
  

It is not without reason that Mordimer was appointed the title of licensed Inquisitor by the Bishop of Hez-Hezron. He is a man of fervent faith and is skilled in both words and weapons. Tracking down anyone who commits sin is his sole purpose as an Inquisitor, and dedicated servant of God. If someone commits a breach of faith against Christ Triumphant, Mordimer must, and will, perform his duties. 

Only he dares to enter the Unworld, to find clues and uncover the truth. But this is only the first step – punishment is needed to keep sin at bay. All the less surprising that witches, sorcerers and heretics no longer feel safe in their dark hideouts when Mordimer arrives. After all, he does not shy away from using torture…

You call it ruthless? Perhaps. But for a true Inquisitor of the Lord, the end always justifies the means. 

'Welcome to Koenigstein, Inquisitors. The Holy Office informed us of your arrival!' 

Today, we introduce you to one of the 5 districts of Koenigstein where you start your investigation as Mordimer in The Inquisitor: The Market. 
Bustling with life, you're sure to meet many people here. But be on your guard, it seems everyone in this town holds some grim secrets within.

In an alternate 1500 A.D., Jesus escaped his crucifixion and, instead of forgiveness, sought violent vengeance on all the non-believers. Centuries later, in a dark and blood-soaked world, an army of zealot Inquisitors continue to enforce their so-called Holy Law. In The Inquisitor, players will take on the role of Mordimer Madderdin, servant of God and an Inquisitor anointed by the High Bishops of Hez Hezron. You will commence your journey in Koenigstein, a city plagued with sin and religious transgression, where it is your duty to investigate its corruption and crimes. Use strategic sleuthing to track down and interrogate suspects, piece together the evidence or even resort to brute force. Your judgement awaits. Will you show mercy, or will you enforce retribution in the name of the Holy Law?
However, crime is not the only darkness that has seeped into the walls of the city and unbeknownst to those around him, Mordimer can enter the mysterious Unworld in which he can uncover the secrets that lie deep within the souls of the depraved. And yet, deeper still, another form of evil resides here, and it is trying to enter the world of the living.

The Inquisitor will be released in Q4 2023 on Windows PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5. The apocalypse is coming, and with it, your judgement.
