(minor/very vague spoilers in here) FOAMING AT THE MOUTH your writing has me in an absolute chokehold. the characters, the intrigue, the suspense, you've created such a strong and distinct atmosphere with this! even with my little bit of meta knowledge and guesswork, i feel like I'm right there with the MC in how little i know about what's going on in their world––and the bit in chapter two with the choice of dream? a major "this action will have consequences" moment, i picked my favorite animal but i read through all of them before progressing and boy howdy was there a lot to unpack in there. i definitely want to replay this a few times already, to see what different routes look like bc they all feel so thorough and well-thought out!! spectacular game, take care of yourself, i can't wait for chapter 3 whenever you are ready with it :))
i adore this game, i love it so much and i cant wait for chapter 3, do you have a rough idea on how long it will take, no rushing it just gives me something to look forward too! this game is so captivating and well writen keep it up! <3
Another fantastic update, I read it out here if you're interested!
I love how this story is developing, especially with the new dynamics developing between the detective and the other LIs, particularly Sage. Everything seems to be unfolding around us despite us being so deeply a part of it. Can't wait for the next one!
I know chapter 2 just came out, but do you have any rough easements of when chapter 3 will be released. I'm extremely eager to read more of this especially since you left it on such an thrilling cliffhanger.
Damn, the character interactions are top tier... and the mystery?! I'm hooked already. I don't usually read detective fiction, but I'm very glad I gave this a try. Your writing flows so nicely, I don't find myself skipping over anything, which is rare for me. I also love how much replay value there is, because each of the ROs feel distinct from the others, with their own appeal. In other words, they seem like real people :))
One question, would it be possible for you to add an option for MCs to be trans and only have had surgery, no HRT? (I picked the 'feels neutral about their body' option and also selected top surgery scars, but I don't think that's flagged my MC as trans)
This ended right before the exciting part comes! >.< will eagerly await for your next chapter :D
Also, while I like how other authors wrote detailed environments/sceneries in their stories, I love how you prioritize the interactions between the characters more. Your style is straightforward and not too verbose, which makes everything that happened in your stories easier to remember and digest, and memorable too!
Love everything so far! Honestly can't wait what happens next!
Aaah I'm so glad you enjoy the story and my style--personally I enjoy focusing more on the internal struggles of the characters, dialogues and actions, so I'm really happy you like that about my work <3
This is captivating. The mystery is engaging and the relationship screen with the description of the characters' point of view is a great way to portray it instead of a percentage bar! It makes the story more immersive, and the characters are very different from each other, as well as very charismatic in their own ways.
Such a fascinating plot, and the OSTs make the scenes even more immersive. (And that's coming from me, who don't usually like sounds during my reading, but in this case, the melodies were a perfect match with the environment.)
I'll definitely keep an eye in this story, and I'm waiting for the third chapter. :)
I'm perfectly aware not all of us trans people change our names after transition/coming out, however the Main Character in Sinners and Saints, if trans, did change their name
I don't think I recall the game mentioning that in the initial part where you claim you are trans. Which is why it brought me out of immersion so abrutly when MC mentioned they did much later on.
actually screamed when i saw chapter two released. ate it up like a starved beast ngl. i am more and more in love with all of these weirdos with each update
I really am enjoying the game, just read chapter 2. There are a few typos, specially when it comes to Sage name, the music has an error and for some reason I'm being described as Trans, idk if that´s a default or an error, if you could explain it to me, please, other than that I think this is brilliant, thank you so much for the update :D
The author mentioned on their tumblr that old saves from before chapter two's release won't work because of some changes to the code. you'll have to start a new save!
i just wanted to say thank you so much for including needles in the trigger warnings. most people don't and its really my one big trigger ;-; luckily having a heads up makes things so much easier for me.. absolutely love this so far. morgan sasha and khari have stolen my heart. actually they all have. but especially morgan aaa!!!! cant wait for more. ;w; also absolutely living for the trans/nb aro/ace and neurodivergent rep!!!!!!
Perhaps I'm somehow selecting the wrong thing, but when we are introduced to Riven, the story seems to flag my character as trans, even when I selected the "I am happy with my body without surgery or hormones" option. Perhaps that is a trans flagging option? If so, maybe making that a little more clear for players would be a nice addition. If it's not, then I think this is a bug. Or is the MC just locked to being trans no matter player input?
The option it seems you wanna pick is "You smiled, seeing your body. You were confident and happy with how it looked." I tested it out and that one, as well as one at the bottom about being neutral towards your body both don't give you the line about being trans, and I assume this is the case with the one that explicitly mentions being cis as well though I didn't bother testing.
So basically, it seems to be, if the option mentions hormones and/or surgery your character will be trans if not they'll be cis.
ooooo this is so good i can't wait to read more as it comes out!! the characters are all so distinctive and super fun, and i love your writing style :) the setting/atmosphere/premise is intriguing so far and i'm looking forward to learning more about the characters and lore of the story; also the explicitly ace/aro options are very much appreciated <3 thank you for sharing and have a good day!!
ah I'm glad you enjoy the story so far, your comment made me genuinely smile <3 I hope to implement more explicit ace/aro options and text (which would show if the player chose any of those options) in the future chapters!
I don't know if this is intentional or coincidental, but it's really cool that the last names of some of these characters (as well as the options for our detective's last name) are words spelled backwards, like Lortnoc (Control), Rorrim (Mirror), Rellik (Killer) etc. So I wonder if that is somehow significant to the storyline? Can't wait to find out, great story so far.
Omg, I love this so much!! The characters are great, the way you described them makes me more excited to play!!! I played this before it didn't have a description and I'm really excited to see how the story goes!! <3

You have to go to the website version of itch.io to play, you cant use the app.

Do you not see the box that says run game at the top of the page
nope
What computer and browser are you on
not in the game but i can run it, im just not sure where to go from there
you can start the game but you cant choose any of the options is that what you are saying?

Thank you, I can't describe how happy your comment made me <3
Omg I LOVE this so much. The Chapter two was so good keep it up!! <33
thank you! <3
Loving the content as always, but I'd like to point out trans people don't always change their names.
Hi! I'm glad you like the game! <3
I'm perfectly aware not all of us trans people change our names after transition/coming out, however the Main Character in Sinners and Saints, if trans, did change their name

CHAPTER 2 IS RELEASED AND YOU NOW ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON?!
<333
I'm so excited for chapter 2!! About to read it now :
actually screamed when i saw chapter two released. ate it up like a starved beast ngl. i am more and more in love with all of these weirdos with each update
i'm glad! :d
God! It's so intriguing! I cannot wait for more, the more information we get the more questions I have🖤
<33
I really am enjoying the game, just read chapter 2.

I got this error when I tried to load my latest save :(
The author mentioned on their tumblr that old saves from before chapter two's release won't work because of some changes to the code. you'll have to start a new save!
i just wanted to say thank you so much for including needles in the trigger warnings. most people don't and its really my one big trigger ;-; luckily having a heads up makes things so much easier for me.. absolutely love this so far. morgan sasha and khari have stolen my heart. actually they all have. but especially morgan aaa!!!! cant wait for more. ;w; also absolutely living for the trans/nb aro/ace and neurodivergent rep!!!!!!
I love this game so much! Can't wait for more :-D
It is AMAZING!
this was great, but holy sh*t i almost crapped my pants in the chase scene because of the drums scaring me
Perhaps I'm somehow selecting the wrong thing, but when we are introduced to Riven, the story seems to flag my character as trans, even when I selected the "I am happy with my body without surgery or hormones" option.

Oh cool. I figured I was maybe being dumb. Glad we could get this cleared up for me. Thanks
I love this so far! Both Numbers Game and this is right up my alley! I'm looking forward to updates. How many chapters are you planning on?
I'm planning around 8 chapters!
Cool 💕💕💕
pleaseeeeeeeeee im so desperate for chapter two after playing T.
Very intruiging story. I love the customization of MC. Also, every character seems interesting so far o.o
Good luck with the progress!
chap 1 is already so interesting! added :'
I love this so much my gosh. Do youperhaps have any other games like this to recommend? I am digging this type of story too much like wow...
There are a few IF games similar to this one. Wayfarer and Speaker are both fantastic games (currently developing also) You should check them out!
i could personally recommend plenty, the ones which are my personal favorites i have listed here! https://itch.io/c/2437513/if-games
Most similar to Sinners and Saints I'd say are the games:

It's intentional, though I can't reveal too much ;)
