About the Game

Sainthood: Confessions is a poker-like deck builder about using poker hands to build and chain devastating combos with powerful synergies.

Poker-like Gameplay

Build poker hands, bend the rules with saints and relics, and unleash holy combos, but watch out for SIN cards that clog your deck! Find the perfect card synergies to bring absolution to souls with cinematic flair.

Unlock the saints

Combine saints, relics, and blessings for powerful synergies.

A Dance with Sin

Watch out for SIN cards!​ They are functionally useless and only serve to clog your deck over time! You must purge them from your deck before they overwhelm you.​ I'm sure there's a real-life analogy here...

Unique Bosses

Face off against the 7 Deadly Sins that switch up the gameplay in challenging ways!

Folk Horror Narrative

Inspired by Heart of Darkness, and a true story my mother told me, the game unfolds through daily journal entries, encroaching dread, and a deadly final confrontation.

Immersive Setting

Set in the thick jungles of 1885 southern Nigeria, experience a unique narrative told purely through text and sound design. You set out with hunters, porters, a scout, cook, catechist, and healer. Each night by the campfire, one steps forward to confess. It's your sacred duty to listen, assign penance, and bring their soul to absolution—or damnation.
