Sinner follows Adam, a soldier with a dark past. Adam embarks on a journey for absolution, facing off against monstrous beasts to reconcile his heinous crimes. Based on the seven deadly sins, these savage specters will reveal their personal connections with Adam as he advances his quest for atonement to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Before each trial Adam must sacrifice a part of himself, resulting in a permanent debuff for the rest of his encounters. Each battle will be more difficult than the last as every debuff lowers Adam's health, depletes his resources or weakens his weapons and armor. Fortunately, an arsenal of unlockable equipment will help Adam compensate for his increasing weaknesses. Alternate gear can be unlocked in New Game+ mode, lending replayability to Adam’s journey for redemption.

If all hope is lost, revive a defeated enemy to regain a sacrificed attribute and revisit the battle later. Experiment to find the optimal path to redemption or take on all debuffs simultaneously from the start for a challenging and rewarding journey.

What has Adam done to warrant putting himself through such a grueling trial? The action is framed by a desolate afterlife in which Adam seeks to restore his memories and atone for his sins. As he defeats each new boss, his history with these evil atrocities will be revealed. How he interacts with each boss will ultimately decide his fate in one of multiple endings.

“Sinner provides the intense action players crave in hardcore games through intimate battles that are accessible in any order,” says Iain Garner, director of developer relations, Another Indie. “By giving players the freedom to choose their path through its devilish challenges, Sinner offers player agency without sacrificing a compelling story.”

Developed by Dark Star Game Studios, a team composed of AAA veterans including a former Ubisoft art director, a Blizzard technical artist, and a Konami senior programmer.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is planned for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One on Oct. 18, 2018, and will be available in English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Discord users will also brave its dangers when Sinner debuts on Windows and Mac as a First on Discord launch title later this year, with a Steam release to follow.
