    The story of "Sins of the Demon" is a captivating blend of fantasy and moral themes, centered around a cursed world where committing one of the seven deadly sins transforms individuals into demons. Players follow the journey of Kenshi and his cat-brother Shinto as they unravel the mystery behind the curse, encountering well-developed characters and engaging plot twists along the way. While the narrative is praised for its depth and emotional impact, some critiques mention predictability and pacing issues, yet overall, it stands out as a strong point of the game, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of story-driven RPGs.

    • “The story builds well, slowly introducing demons of each of the deadly sins before the climax with the final act.”
    • “The story is written so well.”
    • “The story is very well designed and it is far more complex than I could imagine.”
    • “The story is pretty linear (except for a few locations you may miss if you don't explore the map); most of the game consists of dialogues and cutscenes.”
    • “The gameplay itself was fine, but the story seemed rushed and written poorly.”
    • “In short, a game where the story should be the main focus point is ruined by lackluster storytelling.”
  • gameplay79 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, featuring a turn-based combat system that some players find strategic and accessible, while others criticize it for being overly simplistic and repetitive. The incorporation of a cooking mechanic adds a unique touch, but many reviewers noted issues with the battle mechanics and a lack of challenge, especially when players over-level. Overall, while the gameplay is functional and supports the engaging story, it may not satisfy those seeking deeper mechanics or variety.

    • “Great gameplay (especially for those of us who enjoy more casual play--- grinding is somewhat optional and not mandatory for completing the game), and the story.... omg the story.”
    • “Sins of the Demon is set up in a way that allows anyone to jump in and enjoy a game without being bogged down by complicated RPG mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is active, meaning it's going to test your quick strategy over planning your next move, so be sure to research your stats and skills before fighting.”
    • “There are a couple of somewhat obtuse puzzles (having to know about invisible paths without tells, for example), but the worst of it is the battle mechanics.”
    • “I knew where the story was going and how it was going to end within the first hour of gameplay, and if you play with standard over-level gameplay there isn't a lot of challenge, and the 'watch all optional scenes' is complete BS as many are so easy to miss it's sad.”
    • “The gameplay was probably one of the more disappointing features.”
  • music45 mentions

    The music in the game is generally described as pleasant and fitting for the atmosphere, with some reviewers noting its charm and emotional impact.

    • “The music is extremely pleasant.”

    • “Music, similarly to art, is also of the generic RPG Maker type.”
    • “Mediocre visuals and audio, spritework is perfectly acceptable for characters, the backgrounds and animations are all just... there, and functional, while drawing almost no attention, the music works fine but is repetitive and really is just nothing to write home about.”
    • “The music in the main menu sounds like a broken record, and I especially hate the music when there is a loud and long buzzing sound on it.”

    • “RPG Maker stock assets, ugly pixel graphics, all the problems that make RPG Maker games immediately shovelware are present here.”
