Misericorde: Volume One is an indie mystery kinetic novel developed and published by Xeecee, and the first of a planned episodic trilogy. It was released for Windows on March 24, 2023. Set in a convent in England in the year 1482, the game revolves around a murder that was committed within the premises. The game's main character, Hedwig, is an anchoress who was confined to a cell, and therefore had a foolproof alibi. She is forced by the convent's mother superior to leave her cell and assist in finding the culprit. The game's art is monochrome, with retro game-style heavily dithered photograph backgrounds and anime character sprites. The game received positive reviews from critics for its writing, citing its memorable characters as a strong point.
