About the Game

A world of sin

Sin or Suffer is a story-rich survival-horror JRPG inspired by the horror phenomenon Fear & Hunger. Trapped in a medieval prison overrun by convicts and corruption, you must descend into its depths and uncover the truth behind “Sin,” a reality-warping force. Survive brutal turn-based combat, choose your companions carefully and carve your path toward one of multiple endings.

A world of pain

Descent through an intricate environment full of disturbing characters, dark secrets and unexpected encounters.  No random battles and only unique enemies. Each fight must be approached with care and intention. Enemies are strong and resources are limited.  

A world of despair

The dark fantasy setting of Sin or Suffer will put your sanity to the test. Words shape reality, and those who learn to call upon them wield forbidden power at a terrible price. As a broken prisoner searching for the truth behind your incarceration, you must survive a prison consumed by violence and corruption. But some truths are buried for a reason, especially your own.
