📢 Inquisitor Shepherd March Development Log

Hello.
We are Narrowdeep, the developers of Inquisitor Shepherd.

It's already March, heralding the start of spring.
Last February, we focused all our efforts on updating the demo and solidifying the game's foundation.
This month, we're sharing the development progress we've been working hard on to bring you good news.

We're sharing the current development status and new information.

1. Chapter 2 Sailing Smoothly and Chapter 3 Draft Commenced

Currently, Chapter 2 is accelerating detailed work to create a more interesting and suspenseful production.
In addition, we have begun drafting Chapter 3 in parallel to improve the overall story's completeness.

This month's work contains a lot of spoiler content that penetrates the core of the story, so we ask for your generous understanding that we cannot disclose the entire work illustration.
Instead, we will briefly introduce two major new characters who will lead the narrative of Chapter 2.

He often confuses Shepherd with his unique way of speaking, asking and answering questions at the same time.

He seems to be plotting something secret in collaboration with the mountain guide 'Linari'.

Vale Walter

He is the faith leader of the Hoshi Prayer House.

He is a mysterious figure who always disappears after the worship schedule, citing personal maintenance.

For some reason, he seems to already know about Shepherd, whom he met for the first time.

2. Successful Steam Next Fest and Global Expansion News

The English demo version released through the recent 'Steam Next Fest' received better-than-expected positive responses from global users.

Thanks to the users who always believe in and wait for <Inquisitor Shepherd>, we are getting the opportunity to deliver good news in the global market.
We, Narrowdeep, will create the best possible product that anyone can immerse themselves in, beyond language and environment, to repay the support of our users.

We hope you take care of your health in the fickle 환절기 weather, and we will be back next month with sincere news.

Thank you.

ㅊㅊ

About two years ago, when I was a senior in high school, I happened to browse the visual novel list on Steam and came across 52Hz.

The unique title '52hz', which seemed to hide a story, and the blue and dreamy feeling in the thumbnail, along with the aquarium illustration... It was enough to open my curiosity and wallet, and I remember sharing my screen with a friend on Discord until dawn that day and binge-watching it until the end. (The aquarium illustration with a dreamy feeling often came to my mind during training, so I used it as my profile picture ㅋㅎㅋㅎ)

The protagonist who tries to end his life by giving up his dream for realistic reasons, and Yeonhee who hires such a protagonist.

At first, I thought it was a romance, but after the middle, the direction turned into a suspenseful development, and I became more and more immersed in the story. And the story device of Yeonhee's secret being revealed near the end... I thought, "Ah, this is a really well-made visual novel." The OST that flowed at the end also remained in my memory for quite a long time.

(I think I contributed about 1,000 views..)

Now, two years later, the DLC has been released, but I am also serving in the military for realistic reasons, so it was difficult to play it myself.. Nevertheless, I wanted to see the After Story so much that I borrowed an account from a friend who went on vacation and asked him to share the screen. Fortunately, my friend readily agreed, and I was able to watch the ending of the After Story over two days.

The After Story, which I saw with difficulty, was a work that exceeded expectations. In the work, there is a callback to the main story, "What are you thinking that you are looking at the gift with those eyes?", even the intonation and accent of the voice actor... It was almost the same as the line that came out when I first met Yeonhee in the main story, so I was so happy as soon as I heard it. As a fan, I really like these moments..

(Callback to the main story) I like this so much..

(I was watching the screen and was so happy to see the callback that I immediately told my friend.. It's a callback, not an homage.. Please forgive my ignorance)

Yeonhee and the protagonist's tiki-taka and chemistry were also good. I think it prevented the boredom in the beginning part that could have been boring. I'm sure she's an older sister, but at some point, I was watching with a happy dad smile..

Also, I usually thought that After Story would be a short episode, but this DLC was similar in length to the main story, so it felt like watching another work. Above all, the writer's unique suspenseful development and writing skills were so good that I never lost my immersion while playing, except when my senior talked to me.

I remember seeing the atmosphere change drastically in 3 seconds when the protagonist's condition deteriorated..

In the work, the protagonist shows a blind sacrifice for love and does not bend his will that he is right. However, the self-destructive sacrifice makes us wonder, is the remaining person happy? and it was unique to use his younger self as a medium to awaken this. The only thing that fits the medium that needs to know the protagonist's situation so well and tell the protagonist that he is wrong from an objective point of view is the protagonist himself in another timeline..

Through his own words in the car 2 years ago, he realizes "I only need you!" instead of self-destructive sacrifice.

However, the protagonist's self-destructive sacrifice was not reckless as a result, and through the process of treating the protagonist with Yeonhee's treated cells, the protagonist and Yeonhee once again completed the narrative of salvation for each other. (In the main story, Yeonhee saved the protagonist who lost the meaning of life and was dying, and in After, Yeonhee saved the protagonist who was trying to save Yeonhee who was dying..?)

The process of unraveling the story of the protagonist's dream, which was not covered in the main story, as it progressed to the climax of the story was also impressive. It could have been a somewhat boring development, but I think I was naturally immersed in it because of the expectation of how we would overcome this seemingly impossible situation together while maintaining plausibility.

(I also wondered if I had extinguished the fire of my dream with laziness and realistic rationalization, and I had time to reflect on myself.)

I was happy to hear the ost again in the highlight part of the story. Personally, I wanted it to come out one more time.. I think they saved it for this moment, which will shine the most in After Story, rather than sending it out at the end like the main story. 

(I remember being very immersed because I was watching it lying on my bed in the living quarters, so it was similar to the protagonist's point of view ㅋㅎㅋㅎ)

The main story ended with the subtitle 'True Ending' as an open ending, but in the last of After Story, the subtitle 'Happy Ending' finally put an end to the story.. Personally, I really liked this directing.

(Main story true ending)

(After Story Happy Ending)

When I play visual novels, there are often works that leave something to be desired compared to expectations, but 52hz was more than expected from the main story to the after story. It has been a great vitality during my military life, and thanks to it, I have enjoyed playing as a fan and as a user, and I think it will be a work that will remain in my memory for a long time ㅎㅎ

It was a work that made me think a lot. Self-destructive sacrifice for love and the unhappiness of the remaining person.. His own dream lost in between.. Thank you for reading my disorganized writing because I don't have the talent to write..

Thank you for making such a great work.

I will always support the Red Book team!
