Indie developers Gritty Piggy and publisher Assemble Entertainment are excited to unveil Sin or Suffer, an insidious story-rich survival-horror JRPG announced today on Steam PC. Enter a brutal medieval prison overrun by violent convicts, shocking corruption and something far more disturbing beneath its walls.
After a violent riot, the guards are gone and the surviving inmates have taken over. You’ll play as a broken prisoner forced to descend into the depths and uncover the truth behind Sin, a mysterious unseen force that twists bodies, minds and reality itself. The result is a mind bending immersive thriller inspired by the oppressive cruelty of Fear & Hunger, the grotesque encounters of Look Outside, and the dark-fantasy intensity of Berserk.
What horrors await you in the depths?
- A dark fantasy world where language itself can reshape reality
- Brutal, deliberate turn-based combat with enemy mutilation
- Every encounter shapes the outcome of your story
- Explore five interconnected areas with multiple routes through the prison
- Discover choice-driven companions and NPCs whose stories can permanently change
- Optimize scarce resources, crafting and dangerous items
- Discover huge replayability with multiple premature endings, main endings and a secret ending… will you survive to see any of them?
The deeper you descend, the more the story turns from prison horror into something stranger, more grotesque and far more personal.
The sinner takes it all
Sin or Suffer is the biggest project to date from Gritty Piggy, who cut their teeth on websites and fantasy novels before deciding to tackle a larger scale project, fuelled by their mutual love of horror media. They’ve crafted a twisted world built around discovery and consequences, where understanding the world can be just as dangerous as surviving it.
