Witch-Hunter Background:
-
The world of Witch-Hunter is based in an alternative England. The world is shown in a steam punk style with dark elements.

The presence of demons and monsters increases the universe while the Steam Punk part of it allows us to include some machinery such as robots and powered armour suits.

Early precursor machine guns appear in Witch-Hunter as well.
The player takes the role of Brother Mason, a junior Witch-Hunter.

The Witch-Hunters are operatives of the Inquisition a force made by the church as the scourge of heretics and monsters.

At the time of the game the Inquisition is long past its golden age, with only few members and they have more enemies than ever.
