Description

Sinless is a hybrid of classic 2D point and click adventure and visual novel set in an original cyberpunk reality. We put a lot of effort and attention to the lore and story as well as the general vibe- that the graphics and soundtrack complement themselves to create the desired tone...

Welcome to the Omni-Care sanctioned city. The world as we know it has come to an end and a New Order has taken over. Life is seemingly perfect, in an almost utopian society humans have to officialy schedule their whole days in advance via "ports" - mandatory cybernetic implants. Large commercial entities who also happen to be port manufacturers have replaced governments and crime is practically non existent. You are the hero of this exciting tale, about to start a regular day only for it to unfold in the most unexpected manner revealing the true nature of the multi-layered city.

History

Being the passionate gamers that we are, our dream was to create an adventure game of our own. We have been playing game for three decades and have fond memories of classic adventuregames ranging from Granny's Garden on the BBC through the timeless classic Sierra and Dynamix games to the more recent touchscreen based visual novels like Danganronpa, Phoenix Wright and Ghost Trick. Hopefully our love for games and cyberpunk shows in our debut: Sinless, especially in a few easter eggs here and there. The game was orignally was released for mobile devices in October 2014 and was well received, including a very posite review and feature on Polands largest mobile gaming site: AntyApps. It also was the semifinalist of the Unsung Heroes competition by Spilgames, co-organised by PocketGamer. In June 2015 we signed a licensing deal for Sinless with Forever Entertainment SA. The PC build of the game received a lot of warm attention during this years Pixel Heaven and Poznań Game Arena, where at the latter, was considered one of the 8 most promising Indie games, by renowned gaming portal Gamezilla. However, due to the licensing aggreement, the original mobile release in no longer available, but the new and improved mobile edition will be available in Q1 2016 and will feature most of the Steam version enhancements..

Despite being targetted at the old-school, niche gamer-there is a lot of reading after all- we are very pleased that the overal reception has been very positive. We wanted to give the player the choice of freedom and to discover and unravel the story at their own pace, hence Sinless offers little to no handholding. Therefore many features or lore related backstories/explanations are not thrown in your face. Instead they are somewhere in the world, waiting to be discovered; be it a feature, easter-egg/game reference, world news or plot related event etc.

It is also important to remember that you are thrown into a world of specific rules, laws, customs, lingo, social segregation etc which you will learn and unravel in time along the way.

As some Easter Eggs might suggest, we are quite the FromSoftware/Souls fans: This is also where Sinless took its inpiration in storytelling: seeing as how bits and pieces of the story and lore are scattered throughout the world, which will help connect the missing dots. Be it an interactive element or seemingly irrelevant NPC, exploration is highly recommended. Also, as with Fight Club, a revisit is recommended, as the reveal ought to shed new light on certain aspects which might have been unclear in the previous playthrough. As for example, with the underlying philosophical theme, which manifests itself throughout the gameplay: certain scenes or instances which might have seemed random or incoherent during the first playthrough, ought to present themselves in a new and clearer light after the reveal. Also at one key moment near the end of the game we are presented with a few topics, each of which will reveal different revelations. However, we can only choose one per playthrough.
