About

The year is 1482.

The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in the north of the kingdom, everyone seems blissfully unaware.

Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already grisly reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer--and Mother Superior is as stumped as anyone else. That's where you come in.

As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door. But as the only Sister who couldn't possibly have committed the crime, you have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and the killer goes unpunished.

The Superior hasn't told everyone why you've suddenly joined the regular congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what's going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up--and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst of all... are you next?

Praise for Misericorde: Volume One

Polygon: “Only the first volume of the game has been released on Steam so far, so the mystery is still unsolved. Yet it’s already skyrocketed to the top of my personal list of favorite games of the year due to the depth of its characters and the twisty, sometimes even supernatural, turns of its murder mystery.”

NPR: “Far-fetched? Absolutely. But it’s also a brilliant set-up to explore an outsider’s sudden integration into a cloistered community and the secrets it holds.”

Jonathan Bryant: “Calls to action aren’t really my thing, but for the love of God, go buy Misericorde Volume One. It’s $9.”

Inverse: “With only black-and-white art and lines of text, Misericorde manages to hook you like a good book and never let you go. I wouldn’t want it to either, following Sister Hedwig’s story is too enthralling.”
