The Inquisitor is a 2024 action-adventure video game developed by The Dust and published by Kalypso Media. Players investigate reports of a vampire in an alternate history version medieval Europe.
The story is based on the Inquisitor novels by Jacek Piekara, which take place in an alternate history where Jesus sought vengeance on the Roman Empire rather than martyring himself. As a result, Christianity is portrayed as violent and merciless. Players control Mordimer Madderdin, an inquisitor in medieval Europe charged with investigating reports of a vampire and punishing sinners. Players can choose merciful or merciless options in dialogue, which can affect how the story progresses. During his investigation, Madderdin can question or torture sinners for information. This information can be vetted in an alternate dimension Madderdin can access, though players must fight or hide from monsters here.[2]
