Hey everyone!
We’re back with an exciting new development from the Heretic Path of Inquisitor Trainer!
Today’s spotlight is on a brand new Tamagotchi-style minigame where you raise a cursed little demon through multiple evolution stages.
This isn’t just a fun distraction—your choices shape your demon's personality, appearance, and final form. Will it grow into a beautiful, obedient pet… or something far more sinister?
We’ve finished the main artwork for the demon’s full growth cycle! From a tiny, slightly creepy blob to a confident, dangerous adult form, every stage has been hand-drawn to reflect subtle changes in mood, attitude, and aesthetic.
Each phase is represented with a detailed mugshot that evolves alongside your care (or neglect).
Expect a mix of cute and unholy—this is the Heretic Path, after all.
We’ve started implementing smooth animations to bring the demon to life:
Idle breathing, tail flicks, eye movement
Emotional reactions to your actions
Evolution sparkle transitions
These animations are designed to enhance immersion and make your demon feel more alive—and maybe even aware...
We’re currently integrating the visuals with player interactions like:
Feeding
Training
Playing (sexually)
Each decision impacts your demon’s development and might unlock alternate evolution paths.
Next up, we’ll be sharing:
A side-by-side preview of all evolution mugshots
A short animated loop of your demon in action
Playtesting for branching evolution behavior
Thanks for following the development of Inquisitor Trainer!
Your support means everything—and helps us make the Heretic Path darker, deeper, and even more twisted 💀
