Inquisitor

Inquisitor is an isometric role-playing game set in Ultherst, a land devastated by the Three Scourges of God: famine, plague and a rain of fire. As an Inquisitor, you investigate crimes against the faith, gather evidence against suspected heretics and bring them to trial. Your choices shape how you pursue the investigation and use the Inquisition’s power.

Story and characters

After the disasters, people turn away from the Holy Mother Church, embracing pagan decadence or the Devil’s temptation. The game follows a tale of betrayal, torture, madness and infernal damnation. You can choose from three character classes—Paladin, Priest and Thief—each with a distinct, independent story.

Investigate and judge

You collect evidence, charge suspects and put them on trial. You can use tools such as the iron maiden, suspension and the rack to extract confessions, then burn heretics. The use of your authority has consequences, so you must decide how to wield it.

Explore Ultherst

The open-ended world includes 34 surface areas, with forests, pastures and towns, as well as 37 extensive dungeon complexes, including multilevel dungeons. You can explore and make use of the world as you see fit.

Weapons and magic

The game includes more than 200 weapons, 80 spells and seven schools of forbidden and allowed magic. Character animations reflect changes in equipment and comprise almost one million sprites. The story contains more than 5,000 pages of text.
