Mercyful Flames: The Witches

Mechanics

Mercyful Flames is a detective RPG. The gameplay is mainly about investigating, which requires exploring locations, searching for various evidence and clues, as well as conversations with NPCs. During conversations we use the protagonist's intelligence - we can influence others through persuasion or fear.

We interrogate those suspected of pacting with the devil using a variety of torture tools - including machines developed by ourselves. We burn guilty people on stakes.

It is worth noting that as we progress through the game, our character's abilities grow (we receive various powers resulting from the divine grace), as does his reputation.

Game modes

In Mercyful Flames we can only play alone. The core of the game is the story campaign.

Technical aspects

Mercyful Flames features a simple, 3D graphic design. Both character models and the game environment are characterised by a rather low level of detail, but the artistic style used by the developers helps to hide some of the deficiencies. As a result, the game has an undeniable atmosphere.

Other information

Due to the extremely brutal theme of Mercyful Flames - including torture and burning people alive - the game is for adult players only.
