Suffer not the witch, the heretic, or the demon to live. Cleanse the world of evil. Clock out by five, because dinner is at six and you know the imp bile does not wash out if you leave it overnight.
Command your monastery as a true Inquisitor. Deploy a sizable toolkit of administrative and diagnostic methods to determine exactly what you're dealing with — a cursed saint at the end of their rope, a mischievous demon wearing the face of a common villager, empty coffers or something that defies classification entirely. The Inquisitor's manual covers most cases. Most.
Five distinct supernatural threats stand between you and order, alongside an ever-shifting pool of lesser horrors. Each demands its own approach: the right ritual, the right instrument, or simply the right amount of conviction and fire. Getting it wrong is also an option. The monastery has seen worse and you are quite sure the cute cook almost certainly IS a witch. Let your paranoia fly!
Experiment freely with a deep alchemy system. Uncover dozens of recipes, bless brews to mend your allies, or corrupt them into something considerably less holy. Feeling bold? Throw everything into the pot and see what happens. The Inquisition did not survive this long by being timid.
Manage your monks, each filling a role in this fragile structure of sacred bureaucracy. Restore the library and gather the forbidden knowledge, corruption is not known to hold onto the holy parchment. Repair the monastery and expand your archives because the knowledge and the stone walls will certainly keep whatever moves in the wilderness out. And occasionally, you will have to step beyond those walls yourself — into the dark, where the herbs are. And so is everything else.
Your decisions will shape the fate of the monastery. Salvation, or complete annihilation.
No pressure.
