About the Game

Sins of Sinister: The Viscera-Eater

Sins of Sinister is an episodic horror experience inspired by lore stories — chilling encounters and unexplained events retold by those who lived through them.
Each episode offers a short, intense dive into fear, folklore, and the sinister.

In The Viscera-Eater, strange deaths begin spreading through a rural village. One by one, people collapse without any medical explanation. Even the hospital insists their bodies are perfectly normal. Rumors of curses, rituals, and malevolent spirits grow louder, forcing the village spirit doctor, Moh Sak, to uncover the truth behind the horrors plaguing the community.
What is killing the villagers — and why?
