The Inquisitor is a dark fantasy adventure game with a strong narrative element, forcing you to confront difficult moral choices. The game is set in an alternate version of (religious) reality, inspired by the best-selling Inquisitor book series by Jacek Piekara. Once nailed to the cross and near death, Jesus is consumed by rage. He frees himself and unleashes violent revenge on all non-believers. Centuries pass, and now an army of fanatical Inquisitors brutally enforces faith in this blood-soaked Church.

You are Mordimer Madderdin, an Inquisitor in the service of God, sent to the city of Koenigstein, which is plagued by a series of mysteries and sins. Solve various cases and crimes of those who have broken the faith, while uncovering the truth of a darker evil from another realm trying to enter the world of the living. Become the ultimate Holy Judge and Jury: Your role as an Inquisitor is to maintain order and enforce faith in God.

A morally tainted, non-linear story: This is a dark and gritty tale focusing on a religion that preaches revenge and violence. Many story choices will test your morality. Choose your path and decide what kind of Inquisitor you will be - one who shows mercy or one who seeks vengeance - and ultimately what mark you will leave on this world.

Illuminated investigation: Mordimer possesses unique abilities that allow him to solve the various crimes and mysteries plaguing Koenigstein. Track and interrogate suspects. Uncover the hidden truths of the city and its inhabitants. Gather evidence and make your final judgments.

Explore the Hades: Ignoring those around him, Mordimer has the ability to enter the mysterious Hades. There he can uncover the deepest secrets that suspects try to hide within their souls. However, there is a serious danger when exploring this world, and the dark force that reigns here will do everything to destroy you if you set foot in its realm.

Compelling interrogations: The 1500s remain a harsh era of justice. As an Inquisitor, you have free rein to use whatever methods and tools you deem necessary to persuade suspects to reveal "the truth." These optional interrogations date back to the times of the real Inquisition, and it is up to you to decide if and how much force you will apply to those you interrogate.

Let your sword speak: Sometimes, a tongue needs to be cut to be freed. A full sword combat system means that various cases will allow or even require you to use violence. Master your blade, find your enemy's weak points, and use them to their detriment.
