📢 Inquisitor Shepherd July Development Log

Hello. 

This is NarrowDeep, the developer of Inquisitor Shepherd. 

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 Shepherd 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.

🔔 July Development Log Summary

🎮 Detailed Development Status 

1. Demo version rebuilding complete

We have completed the demo version rebuilding work introduced in the last development log.

In this rebuild, we refined the flow of the original demo's early stages and added new content to help players understand the core deduction structure of Inquisitor Shepherd more quickly.

We configured the evidence submission method that appeared in the later stages to be experienced early on, and also revised 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 are displayed correctly in each language.

2. BIC Demo Day Online Play

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

Playable from Monday, July 13, 2026, to Friday, July 31, 2026

BIC Online Exhibition Hall: https://bicfest.org/exhibition/0

Download link: https://bicfest.org/exhibition/view/1857?chk=0&param=1

Those who have played the previous demo can also 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. If you find any issues while playing, we would appreciate it if you could report them.

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.

3. Japanese voice dubbing production in progress

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 Shepherd 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 can be naturally conveyed through voice.

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

4. Chapter 2 development status

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

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

Since there are many scenes where the subsequent developments can be anticipated just by looking at the backgrounds or character appearances, 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 there will be less material to show during the development process, 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 completed game.

5. Galberton's Apiary music demo

[Listen to music link] https://whyp.it/tracks/354866/b960c66f?token=CsFm6

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

I think it's a track that brings out Galberton's character.

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

✨ Selection news and event participation news 

- Selected for BIC 2026 General Category 

Inquisitor Shepherd 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.

Please try playing it on the BIC website and check out the newly changed parts.

- Selected for 18th Smilegate Membership

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.

- Participated in BilibiliWorld 2026 

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

At the event, we demonstrated the Chinese version of the Inquisitor Shepherd demo and provided merchandise such as leaflets and character stickers to those who visited the booth.

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

✨ In closing

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

We revised 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 the core spoiler sections, the 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.

Thank you sincerely for your unwavering support.

Sincerely, NarrowDeep
