'''Heretic''', released on [[Timeline#1994|December 23, 1994]], is a hit fantasy/action game by [[Raven Software]], the result of their second team-up with [[id Software]] after [[Shadowcaster]]. Based on a modified [[Doom engine]], Heretic pioneered an [[Artifacts|inventory]] system for real-time [[item]] use that has become commonplace in the FPS genre. id Software published the game under its brand. Like [[Doom]] before it, the game was initially released as [[shareware]] with the ability to call or mail in to receive the registered version. A later, expanded commercial release as '''Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders''' was distributed to retail stores by GT Interactive.
