Gameplay
Inquisitor plays similarly to Baldur's Gate series, being a top-down role-playing game. Firstly, the player chooses his character from the classes of (priest, paladin or thief). The player then travels throughout the world, fighting against monsters along the way. The player also investigates crimes against the god and the king by finding evidence against the suspect, after which they may be arrested, tortured, and, after conviction, burned at the stake. It is, however, possible to mistakenly arrest innocents should false evidence be found.
Evidence in Inquisitor includes the testimony of other characters in the game, as well as items found at location where the crime was committed. It is also possible to draw conclusions from seemingly unrelated information. Found evidence is recorded in character's notebook.[4]
The game has an estimated playing time of 100 hours. Inquisitor includes more than 200 weapons, 80 spells and 7 types of magic, alongside over 90 types of monster to combat.[5]
Story
The setting of Inquisitor is the fictional kingdom of Utherst, in which the omens of the Prophecy of Saint Ezekiel have started to appear, foretelling the end of the world. The game chronicles the efforts of the titular Inquisition to fight against heresy in light of this. The main character is an Inquisitor who is sent to the town of Hillbrandt to investigate the murder of a local merchant.[6]
