"I, the Inquisitor'' is a story-driven, dark fantasy adventure game with action elements and difficult moral choices. Based on the bestselling Inquisitor book series by Jacek Piekara, the game takes place in an alternative religious timeline. Once nailed to the cross and near death, Jesus becomes consumed by utter rage. He breaks free and unleashes violent vengeance on all the non-believers. Centuries pass and now an army of zealot Inquisitors brutally enforce the faith in this bloodsoaked Church.

You are Mordimer Madderdin, an Inquisitor in God's service - sent to the town of Konigstein which is plagued by a series of mysteries and sin. Solve the various cases and crimes of those who have transgressed against the faith, all while uncovering the truth of a darker evil from another realm that is trying to enter the world of the living.

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 holy law?

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 leave on this world.

Anyone read these books?

Why is it "dark fantasy" though? Sounds like reality to me.

lol at being too scared to write a story about islam so you just pretend christianity is islam

 

[Baron Dupek]

Violence, sex, vulgarity... and a lot of wood but not the good one. This is made in Gothic worshipping country and you can see it.
Now we know where CD Project&Reality Pump devs (Two Words) went

Over-the-shoulder camera, cinematic slow walks, glowing detective vision mode, rhythm combat - looks like awful new-school action garbage regardless of the set-dressing and fantasy veneers.

The premise is pretty hipster. I approve!

I am eye-ing the "Action RPG" tag with suspiction though, because I doubt in capabilities of most developers to make it feel interesting. Gothic was the exception proving the rule. Also, I have yet to see an actual detective game. Most games are mislabeled, sadly. Maybe this one will be The One, but I remain highly skeptical until I see it with my own eyes.

Probably because the supernatural aspects are real in this universe, like in Darklands. Atmosphere-wise I am getting slight The Witcher vibes. At least such are my impressions from the trailer.

Glad to see more people with eyes.
It's not hyperbole; videogames are dead.

Except for a few indies, of course.

2009 called and said they want their graphics and framerates back

ha ha ha

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

Cool looking areas, but far too edgy.

If you want to make a medieval game about fighting heresy, go Name of the Rose or go home.

HeroMarine this game y/n?

 

[Falksi]

They're gonna struggle to squeeze trannies and SJW bollocks into a game of this nature at least.

Yeah, I don't think that the author would accept this. He's not like "Geralt can start in a soap commercial if you pay me enough" Sapkowski.

 

[Maxie]

we need all of polish cringe fantasy made into games, including Pan Lodowego Ogrodu, Achaja, Wegner's books etc.
