Synopsis

You play as Mélusine (the protagonist's name can be changed in-game), a soul unjustly condemned to Hell and transformed into a succubus|incubus against their will.

Rejected by angels and mocked by demons for refusing to prey on humans, you spend your afterlife walking a fragile line between survival and damnation.

In this world, every soul is granted a Second Existence after death. But not every soul can be saved. Those consumed by regret, desire, or despair become Souillures... corrupted beings stripped of everything that once made them who they were.

Then... Something impossible happens. A mysterious power awakens within you. The power of Purification. A divine gift... Within a demonic body.

Instead of condemning you, Heaven offers you a place within the Exorcists' Guard. Not because they trust you. Because they have no choice.

Assigned to an Exorcist of your choosing, you'll investigate mysterious outbreaks of corruption and uncover truths buried since the birth of the kingdoms themselves.

But the more you learn...

The clearer one thing becomes.

Not every demon is evil.

Not every angel is righteous.

Will you save this world...

Or become the reason it falls?

Perhaps...

Salvation was never meant to belong to Heaven alone.

Special Route

⚠️ Uriel is currently not a romance route.

However...

If players are well-behaved, eat their vegetables, and refrain from harassing the author...

There may one day be a Uriel route. 👀

(Maybe.)

(No promises.)

(But maybe.)

Future Possibilities

I would like to clarify that SoS will initially be a visual novel focused exclusively on male love interests. The main cast has already been planned and chosen in my mind.

However, I have also already imagined the 7 female representations of the Seven Deadly Sins. Their inclusion is not decided yet and would only happen if there is enough interest and positive feedback from the players.

For now, the project will follow its original vision, but I am open to listening to the community and seeing what they would like to experience in the future.

What the Game Will NOT Include

No Affection Point System

I personally dislike affection-point systems.

You are free to make the choices you genuinely want to make. While your decisions will impact the story, I will never force you to pick specific options simply to please a character or unlock their route.

No Dark Romance

While Souls of Sin contains romance, it is not a dark romance.

All romance routes are based on mutual respect and consent. Although the game explores dark fantasy, psychological horror, and dystopian themes, it does not romanticize abuse, coercion, or non-consensual relationships.

⚠️ Content Warnings

This game may contain:

✦ Fantasy violence and combat

✦ Strong language

✦ Blood and injuries

✦ Death and themes surrounding mortality

✦ Psychological distress

✦ Religious themes and imagery

✦ Psychological Horror

✦ Disturbing Imagery

✦ Fourth-Wall Breaks

✦ Jump scares

✦ Loss of Identity

✦ Emotional manipulation

✦ Con Romance

✦ Multiple bad endings

Please note that content warnings may evolve as development progresses.

Age Recommendation

While Souls of Sin is intended to remain accessible to a wide audience, it does contain themes such as violence, death, horror elements, and psychological distress.

For this reason, a 16+ audience is recommended.

Parental discretion is advised for younger players.

Artwork & User Interface (UI)

All character sprites, backgrounds (BGs), CGs, illustrations, and the vast majority of the game's visual assets were created by Scapine.

The current user interface is based on Ren'Py's default UI and includes a few temporary assets, such as the VHS cassette used in the Archives menu, which was sourced from Canva.

The interface is being gradually redesigned throughout development and will eventually be fully illustrated and customized by Scapine.

Development Status

SoS is developed entirely by a single person. Writing, art, programming, and design are all handled solo. Updates may take time, but the project is actively evolving and being expanded regularly.

Some CGs and illustrations are temporarily replaced with "???" placeholders. The corresponding scenes are fully playable and will receive their final artwork in future updates.

This is an early development | prototype version. Content, systems, and visuals may change over time.

Character Wiki

Official character wikis are now available, although they are still in the early stages and will be gradually expanded over time as the project develops.

If you’d like to follow their evolution or access their official information, you can find them on my CharacterHub:
