Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition! But I bet you were expecting it since this page is all about the best inquisition themed video games.
Inquisition was an institution in the Catholic Church which aimed to combat and eradicate heresies. Such as witchcraft, blasphemy, apostasy, and any kind of heresy in general. Violence and even torture used by the Inquisiton to extract confessions, false or not. Afterall, God will save the victims soul if he/she is innocent.
Those were dark times… Spanish Inquisition alone prosecuted 150,000 people. Inquisitors were the judge, jury, and executioner.
Anyways, as dark as it is, inquisition is a fun theme for video games.
