What are the Seven Deadly Sins?
In religious mythology, there are seven deadly sins:
- Envy -”You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
- Gluttony -”You shall not eat too soon, eat too expensively, eat too much, eat too eagerly, eat too daintily or eat widely”
- Greed -”You shall not pursue wealth, status or power in excess”
- Lust -”You shall not commit adultery or become self-indulgent in character”
- Pride -”You shall not desire to be more important than others, more attractive than others, fail to acknowledge other’s successes or be in excessive love for thyself”
- Sloth -”You shall not fail to utilize your talents and gifts”
- Wrath -”You shall not have uncontrolled feelings of hatred or anger”
The Seven Deadly Sins are believed to destroy the life of grace and lead to eternal damnation. In Party of Sin, we allow you to do so comfortably from your sofa.

When is Party of Sin coming out?

Will there be multiplayer?
Yes and no. Party of Sin will not feature any online multiplayer. However, Party of Sin can be played cooperatively with up to four players. Get some friends together, bust open some beers (if you’re legal) and start kicking some angel ass.
Why no online multiplayer?
We don’t feel the game mechanics of Party of Sin lend themselves well to online multiplayer. Griefing is somewhat part of Party of Sin, and griefing in real life can be really funny (since you’re with people you know). Griefing online can be a real pain though, because people get stupid when they’re anonymous.
