The Night Of The Inquisitor

Excellent retro PuppetCombo-like (I hope I just forged a brand new tag!) survival horror, very reminiscent of Nun Massacre for the creepy religious background. I found the game very fun and very well designed, with a clever balance between puzzle solving and running for your life. The retro graphics are gorgeous, the atmosphere is gloomy and haunting, and the main antagonist is particularly charismatic, he's not just a soulles copy of the usual random maniac, he has an original story. Also, some of the gameplay mechanics are surprisingly smart, they added something new and fresh to a genre that nowadays is perhaps being over-exploited and is becoming a bit stall. Overall, I strongly recommend this game if you are a fan of Puppet Combo and Chilla's Art, or of retro-gaming in general. You'll find a delicious treat here. Cheers guys!

Night of the Inquisitor is a throwback to old retro horror games with a similar style to that of Puppet Combo. Mechanic's wise, NOTI is pretty good. It does away with the usual tropes of defending yourself with common weapons & items like melee combat & guns, but instead gives the player holy water to throw at the entities that hunt you. There are a good amount of puzzles in the game that also make you think about what to do. One of the puzzles did leave me scratching my head, but when I realised, I face palmed myself so hard. It was a really well hidden ( but also not hidden) solution. All I needed to do was pay attention. Kudos for that! The story is okay with a young girl called Emelia looking for her missing mother & ends up getting transported to another realm in search for her. There were no bugs that I could find & was able to finish the game comfortably in one sitting. Well worth the price. Graphics were good if you are into the whole low poly aesthetic & it filled me with nostalgia which gives the dev extra bonus points. Well done!
