The Three Kings | Let's Play The Inquisitor #32
0The Inquisitor, released on February 8, 2024, is a story-driven, dark fantasy adventure game that delves into an alternate version of history where Jesus did not die for humanity's sins but instead came down from the cross to unleash vengeance on the non-believers. This premise sets the stage for a world 1500 years later, where inquisitors, including the protagonist Mordimer Madderdin, enforce the faith with brutal diligence in the town of Koenigstein, plagued by mysteries, sin, and darker forces from another realm attempting to infiltrate the world of the living.
The game is set in the early 16th century in a fictitious European city, Koenigstein, where players take on the role of Mordimer Madderdin, a character reminiscent of a Witcher-like inquisitor. Mordimer's mission involves solving intricate puzzles, uncovering the truth behind heinous crimes, and combating a sinister evil trying to enter the living world. The gameplay combines detective work, brutal interrogations, and action elements, compelling players to make difficult moral choices throughout their journey.
Developed by The Dust S.A. and published by Kalypso Media, The Inquisitor offers a non-linear tale centered around a religion preaching revenge and violence, featuring multiple branching story choices that test the player's morality. Players will have to decide the fate of those they judge, shaping the kind of inquisitor they become - one of pity or retribution. The game also introduces the concept of the Unworld, a mysterious realm where Mordimer can uncover deeper secrets and face significant risks.
The game emphasizes enlightened sleuthing, with Mordimer employing unique skills and abilities to solve crimes and mysteries afflicting Koenigstein. Tracking down and interrogating suspects, piecing together evidence, and making final judgments are key aspects of gameplay. Additionally, the game's setting and narrative are enriched by its origins in a series of novels, providing a detailed and immersive medieval city for players to explore.
The Inquisitor is available on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, inviting players into its grim yet intriguing world where they must navigate through the shadows of faith, morality, and the supernatural.
