📢 Inquisitor Shepard July Development Log

Hello. 

This is Narrowdeep, the developer of Inquisitor Shepard. 

Over the past month, our development team finished rebuilding the demo version and continued working on Japanese voice dubbing and Chapter 2 development. 

Additionally, Inquisitor Shepard has been selected for the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026 General Category and the 18th Smilegate Membership. 

We are sharing last month's development status and new updates.

We have completed the demo version rebuilding work mentioned in the previous development log.

In this rebuild, we refined the flow of the early game and added new content to help players understand the core deduction structure of Inquisitor Shepard more quickly.

We configured the evidence submission method, which previously appeared in the latter half, to be experienced early on, and also modified some puzzles and investigation flows.

Elements for discovering hidden doctrines have been added to the investigation sections. Acquired doctrines and world information can be checked in the newly added Codex.

The rebuilt demo supports a total of four languages: Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese. We also conducted localization work while verifying that the newly added systems and text display correctly in each language.

The completed rebuilt demo can be played online via the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026 website.

Playable from July 13 (Mon) to July 31 (Fri), 2026

Even those who have played the previous demo can check out the newly added early-game content, puzzles, doctrine collection, and Codex system.

Although we have conducted multiple tests, there may still be undiscovered errors. We would appreciate it if you could report any issues you find while playing.

Japanese voice dubbing is still in production, so it is not currently included in the rebuilt demo.

We plan to release a new demo version on STOVE after the Japanese dubbing is applied.

We are currently producing Japanese voice dubbing for the demo version.

We recently received voice actor samples for the dubbing work and are reviewing voices that match each character's image and acting direction, while making detailed adjustments.

As Inquisitor Shepard is a game where dialogue and character emotional changes are important, we are preparing carefully so that the characters' personalities, relationships, and the atmosphere of the scenes are naturally conveyed through the voices.

The completed Japanese audio will be applied to the demo version, and we plan to release a new demo with the dubbing added on STOVE.

After finishing the demo rebuilding work, we are back to proceeding smoothly with Chapter 2 development.

The sections we will be producing from now on are directly connected to the truth of the case and major plot twists presented in the demo.

There are many scenes where the subsequent developments could be predicted just by looking at the backgrounds or character appearances, so it will be difficult to share work-in-progress screens or illustrations through the development log for the time being.

It is a pity that the materials we can show during the development process are decreasing, but we ask for your understanding as this is a decision to protect the experience of encountering the story for the first time in the finished game.

 In this development log, we are releasing a music demo themed around Galberton's apiary and traveler's rest, which appears in Chapter 2.

We believe this track captures Galberton's character well.

Since it is still in the demo stage before being applied to the actual game, the arrangement and sound may change later.

Inquisitor Shepard has been selected for the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026 General Category.

At this year's BIC, we will be showcasing our newly completed 4-language rebuilt demo online.

We are happy to be able to introduce the results of the long-running demo rebuilding work to many people.

We would appreciate it if you could play it on the BIC website and check out the newly changed parts.

Narrowdeep has been selected for the 18th Smilegate Membership and has begun its activities.

Through this activity, we intend to interact with other developers and stakeholders, and listen to various opinions on development management, accessibility, localization, and marketing needed in the process of preparing for the official launch.

We will use this as an opportunity to complete the game we have built so far more stably.

From July 10th to 12th, we participated in BilibiliWorld 2026 held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai through the booth of our publishing partner, Neverland Entertainment.

At the event, we demonstrated the Chinese version of Inquisitor Shepard and provided merchandise such as leaflets and character stickers to visitors who stopped by the booth.

It was a meaningful occasion to introduce the game directly to Chinese users and showcase the demo applied in Chinese. We will continue to look for opportunities to meet Chinese-speaking users with Neverland Entertainment.

The past month was a time when we finished the long-running demo rebuilding and began focusing on the official version development again.

We modified early-game content and puzzles, added the Codex and Doctrine collection system, and completed a new demo with Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese applied.

Moving forward, we plan to continue Chapter 2 development while preparing for Japanese voice dubbing and the demo release.

As Chapter 2 enters sections with key spoilers, the amount of work we can share may decrease, but we will continue to convey the development status through materials we can show, such as music and some backgrounds.

We sincerely thank you for your unwavering support.

Sincerely, Narrowdeep

The Son Heung-min cup that wasn't released in the first round
The contract issue was resolved and they were released starting today, but apparently this time it's Son Heung-min only
So, although I didn't intend to, I ended up collecting only the two active players, Yamal and Son Heung-min
