Harrowing RPG The Executioner coming to Steam this July

13 MAY 2019 - Lesser Evil Games today announce that the first chapter of their dark RPG The Executioner, which thrusts players into the shoes of a torturer, will be released via Steam on July 17th.

Fusing a unique blend of medieval storytelling, sanity management, and the brutal moral conundrums only an executioner could face -- this harrowing tale of a man who tortures people for a living will challenge you to face the monster that lives inside of all of us. The decisions are yours, and so are the consequences.

As shown in the new teaser trailer, the predominantly text-based adventure promises a dark and unsettling atmosphere in a world filled with moral ambiguity. [Continues below]

The Executioner will be a multipart epic adventure into the cruel and unforgiving political sphere of medieval times. Starting with Chapter One, this brutal tale will follow the newly appointed Royal Executioner on a journey to retain his sanity in the darkest of times.

Lead Writer, Elena Sivakova said: "We were inspired to create this game by a thought: 'How people, whose work is inflicting pain and killing other humans, actually live?'"

"When Milgram published his research, proving that obedience to authority makes people do terrible things to others, and you don’t have to be an evil Nazi for that, people around the world were horrified: 'Am I also capable of this?'"

"We believe that our game provides an opportunity to live through a hard, painful and rather dark experience - and in the future to avoid the ethic trap in which the participants of Milgram experiment were caught – made ready, actually, to bring another person to death. We want our players to fully understand the price of a lesser evil."

The Executioner Chapter One will launch on Steam July 17th 2019.

I had genuinely forgotten about this game

HEY KIDS!!! BRUTAL! CRUEL! BLOODY! BUY ARE GAME!!! MURDER AND MAYHEM!

(We hope this game serves as an educational game to examine how mans blind obedience can lead to moral turpitude! HURR!!!)

Jesus - just make your fucking game. If you have ANYONE on your team that feels the need to rationalize it or apologize for it before it's even out, get rid of them. Can I just play the game as a happy functionary who sees justice as less than perfect, but important nonetheless in a less than perfect world?

Does anyone think that someone in the middle ages who got paid for killing folks who broke the law gave two shiny shits about the "ethical dilemma" of their job? The closest I could find about the mindset of an Executioner would be A Hangman's Diary from a 16th century executioner. No, he didn't worry or care about those he executed. It was his job. Also, now that I went searching for this book, well, now I have to buy it. Looks damn good.

I can't decide if I should be outraged by the game for the sheer level of patronizing psycho-analysis, or because theres no porn and nude art to really back up the patronizing psycho analysis with art.
Also, think of the children.

"RPG"

Is there build variety? If class based, how many classes does it have? Can you build a party? If yes, is the party size 6 or more or is it made for low IQ bitches?

"It's a horror game about what's lurking in our consciousness and how difficult it is to remain human when your job is to hurt and kill people."

You don't need to pervert an entire genre just to make a fucking adventure game. I call for a ban on all storyfags entering RPG development until we figure out what's going on.
