“While billed as an RPG, it's very far from an action-oriented affair: it's more a game of hopelessly complex moral decisions, sanity management and, of course, supplying "a dark economy" buoyed by the exchange of dead flesh.”

PC Gamer

“The Executioner, like many role-playing games, asks me to check and manage my protagonist’s resources regularly. I don’t have a problem doing that, but I often found myself taking breaks for my own resources.”

Polygon

Torture chamber

Meet a new person at your work every day - and engage in a duel between the executioner and his victim.

Beat out confessions and don't let the victim go insane or die ahead of time under torture!

Global variables

Make choices to advance the hero in one direction or another up the skill tree.

Each new skill opens up new possibilities in the plot, but can also limit the existing ones.

Combat stakes

Place your bets: narrative conflict provides chances to risk your health and even reason for greater benefits.

Threaten, use brute force or take out your weapons - but always remember the consequences!

Solipsism

Create the face of a new world with your own hands: each significant choice shifts one of the global variables of the game.

Decide for yourself: is there magic in this world? Will the monarchy fall? Can humanistic morality conquer cruelty?

A living lie detector

Try a mystery game where you know the truth from the very beginning!

Thanks to an innate ability, your hero knows when he is being lied to. Violet text in character dialogue will give the hero clues and hints.

The grim economy

Immerse yourself in the occult underground:

• organize a black market for corpses, where your goods are always in high demand;
• learn how to create such artifacts of black magic as the Hand of Glory and the mandrake root;
• reveal the secret of your birth.
