Evaluation

Saga of Sins launched on March 30, 2023 as a complete, self-contained action-adventure game. The entire development cycle — from first concept in 2018 through a series of pre-launch dev diaries covering all seven deadly sins — culminated in this single release. The launch post from March 30, 2023 reads as a heartfelt conclusion to a five-year journey, with the team expressing gratitude and hoping for a positive reception. There is no DLC listed on the store, no season pass, no roadmap for future content, and no post-launch developer communication of any kind announcing plans to expand the game. The game's structure — covering all seven deadly sins with multiple levels and bosses — was fully delivered at launch. All developer news since then has consisted of sales events and community posts with no development signal. The game shipped as a finished product.
Evidence
Launch day post celebrates the release of Saga of Sins on Steam and consoles, reflects on the five-year development journey, and thanks the team, publisher, and funding bodies. Reads as a definitive conclusion to the game's development cycle with no mention of future content or updates.

Dev Diary #11 covers Wrath, described as 'the final of the seven deadly sins,' and is explicitly called 'the final dev diary before our launch next week.' All seven sins were covered across the dev diary series, indicating the game's content scope was fully realised at launch.

About this game





Saga of Sins is an unholy action-adventure featuring a mystical storyline and rewarding arcade gameplay! Immerse into a world of stained glass inspired by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) that is stained by sin.



Play as the righteous cleric Cecil - who can enter people’s minds by transforming into four unique demonic creatures such as a howling werewolf or a fierce gargoyle - to fight the seven deadly sins and free the plague infested village of Sinwell. Every creature has individual skills that can be upgraded for gold dropped by enemies. Once unlocked you can switch between the creatures on the fly, each featuring a devastating Power Dash!



Switch between your demonic creatures on the fly and make use of their unique abilities and shot types.

  • Howling Werewolf

    Howl at the moon and produce sound at a frequency that can shatter cracked glass to reveal hidden secrets.
  • Fierce Gargoyle

    Certain objects, such as boxes or braziers, can be set on fire with the Gargoyle’s Fire Breath to clear the path, unlock secrets or solve riddles.
  • Mighty Griffin

    Only the Mighty Griffin can climb special walls covered in vines to reach new heights, discover secrets or outflank enemies.
  • One final more secret transformation...

    Powers of this last terrifying creature might surprise you... Will you be brave enough to discover and tame it?





A MYSTERY STORY! Saga of Sins is a thrilling saga with surprising twists, inner conflicts and multiple endings. Enter the mind of all the villagers - whether sinner or innocent - and be amazed by the scenarios and secrets that await you. Will you be strong enough to discover the truth?
ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS! Upgrade your demonic creatures by spending gold dropped by enemies. Climb the Skill Tree faster by looting all hidden treasure chests and by defeating foes with your Power Dash so they drop double the amount of gold!



Saga of Sins is a "story arcade" game combining a dramatic storyline with rewarding arcade gameplay. The game offers 31 villagers’ minds to enter: sinners and innocents!

  • Sinner Levels

    - Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, Greed, Pride, Lust and Wrath! The seven deadly sins have befallen the minds of the villagers. Find them and cast out their sins to free Sinwell from the plague.
  • Innocent Levels

    - Unlike the sinners’ minds, embodied by the action levels, themed after each seven deadly sins, innocents’ minds offer a surprising variety of puzzles, riddles and skill tests to solve.
