| GAME ENGINE |
The game offers a real-time single-player mode with third-person control, allowing players to directly control their character and immerse themselves in a deep and thoughtful game world. "The Inquisitor" stands out for its attention to detail, offering a realistic art style that combines with the medieval European theme to create a unique atmosphere.
One of the key features of the game is the availability of advanced graphics settings, including support for widescreen, multi-monitor and ultra-wide screen resolutions, as well as 4K Ultra HD. Players can adjust the field of view from 40° to 70°, as well as use a borderless windowed mode and an anisotropic filtering setting that scales based on texture quality. TAA anti-aliasing is present by default and cannot be disabled, but the game also supports modern image enhancement technologies such as DLSS 3.1 and FSR 2.0, providing smooth and detailed images.
The game also claims to support ray tracing, adding extra depth and realism to the visuals, and also offers colorblind modes, making it accessible to a wider audience. Despite these advanced features, some players have reported performance and optimization issues, indicating that even on powerful hardware, the game can suffer from FPS drops and require further tweaks to achieve optimal performance.
The Unity game engine used in The Inquisitor is a powerful and flexible tool for game development. It allows you to create detailed and realistic game worlds, supports a wide range of graphical effects, including ray tracing, and provides seamless integration with various platforms. Unity is known for its versatility and ability to adapt to a variety of projects, making it an ideal choice for developing The Inquisitor.
"The Inquisitor" offers a deep and interactive gaming experience where every decision you make can change the course of history. With complex moral choices, realistic graphics, and a detailed world, the game promises to be an exciting adventure for fans of the genre.
