About The Executioner
The Executioner puts you in the shoes of a man who tortures people for a living while trying to retain his own sanity.
Fusing elements of a traditional RPG with investigation, exploration and moral decision-making, it invites players take on the role of a man who must seek a signed confession from those he is about to put to death.
With a predominantly text-based interface unfolding engaging story, The Executioner promises a dark and unsettling atmosphere, and a world filled with moral ambiguity
With the threat of revolution on the cards will you fight for monarchy and tradition or revolt in the name of progress? Do you support emerging science or follow the mystical path? Will you desensitize yourself to the violence you have to inflict or try to preserve your humanity?
The decision is yours. So are the consequences.
Note: This is the first out of three episodes.

The game has been abandoned by the developer for several years now. Currently it's just a demo with a bunch of bugs.

The game sells the relentless bleakness hard. A lot of this is the job the player has: Not only are you the man that swings the axe, you are also the man that tortures the confession out of the suspects that justifies swinging the axe.

This game is really great i love it. it takes a little work getting it working properly but once its done i didn't run into any big bugs
i only got to torture 2 people after repeated playthroughs, and my snaity drops way too fast.
