An RPG horror that puts you in the shoes of a man who tortures people for a living and has to fight to preserve his own waning sanity.
Genre: Single-player non-linear horror RPG
Five chapters, ~20 hours of gameplay
Platforms: Windows + Stretch Goals
Supported Languages: English + Russian + Stretch Goals
Sources of Inspiration: "The Hangman's Daughter" Oliver Pötzsch, "Master" by Henry Lion Oldie, film "Unthinkable", and historical and literary research
Gameplay consists of the three parts:
Torture chamber simulator. Use rich arsenal of tortures to get a confession. With a limited time left till victim’s execution you will need to be careful with the persuasion methods in order to keep the tortured in a proper shape for what comes.
Detective text quest. Delve through your victims’ crimes to justify your actions or seek for the true criminal if you believe the tortured is not the one.
Turn based combat. Many will stand on your way unwilling to share their filthy secrets. You will have Theodor Grim’s enormous strength and razor sharp perception by your side to fight those who dare to oppose the Royal Executioner.
The cornerstone of “The Executioner” is game’s psychological side. What are you willing to do to stay alive? How does a human perception change, affected by an everyday routine violence? What will become of a kingdom on a brink of revolution if the Royal Executioner refuses to do his dirty job?
Cool premise - but the game is rife with spelling errors and "Engrish". I suppose it won't really bother people if English isn't their first language (they may not even catch it), but for a game so focused on writing and story it sure bothers the hell out of me, as well as coming across as amateurish and sloppy.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
