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: The game will be released in three episodes, each of the remaining two episodes will coming out every 3 months. Each episode will be separate DLC.

The content that is currently there is very good, the story and characters are great. However, the game isn't finished. It ends abrubtly after finishing the first chapter and I can't find any news if there is any more content coming anytime soon.

TLDR:
Pros; Great story both historical and philosophical
High replay value
Thought out choices and consequences
Cons; No save/load system making replay and roleplay annoying
One mistake/ bad RNG causes too much damage to repair a play through
Not all translation to English appear
Excellent story telling but requires quality of life improvements such as a save/load option otherwise the game results in you exiting out of the game completely and having to accomplish a day from the beginning because of a small miscalculation, though from an artistic point of view that makes sense forcing you to live with the consequences of your actions from a RPG point of view it’s just annoying. The game has a lot of replay value depending on how you combine items and what choices you make early on but the RNG and the before mentioned problem of the lack of a save/load option makes different play throughs time consuming. The choices also do come back to haunt you I can genuinely say that I never felt the consequences weren’t there or that it was just a trick. I look forward to the next chapter with anticipation.

Dark and broody management RPG. Mostly text-based with some super detailed art scenes. Choices guide you to build your character - but whatever you choose, the story is quality, atmospheric and brutal
