A Struggle with Sin thrusts players into a fractured medieval realm where survival demands moral compromise. Navigate war-torn villages, negotiate with desperate factions, and decide whether to exploit chaos for personal gain or champion hope in a world where altruism could be your last mistake.
Moral Flexibility in a Fractured Realm
1. Tax Evasion Schemes – Forge documents to shield peasant harvests from corrupt lords or seize their crops to fund your own rebel militia.
2. Dynamic Allegiance System – Earn fleeting trust from bandit clans by raiding tax caravans, only to later betray them for royal pardons.
3. Environmental Storytelling – Discover hanged deserters with plea letters, orphaned children hoarding blackmail secrets, and other vignettes shaping your worldview.
Survival Beyond Swordplay
1. Resource Hoarding Tactics – Distribute plague cures to win village loyalty or sell them to paranoid nobles at exploitative markups.
2. Infiltration Mechanics – Pose as a mercenary to sabotage orc war camps from within, risking enslavement if your cover unravels.
3. Reputation-Driven Economy – Shops overcharge known thieves but offer black-market weapons to those branded outlaws.
A World Reacting to Your Corruption
1. Evolving NPC Relationships – A priest you robbed may later sabotage your sanctuary quests; a spared bandit might rally allies to ambush you.
2. Warfront Shifts – Ignore pleas to defend a town, and it becomes a bandit-controlled slum offering darker services on your return.
3. Faith Mechanics – Pray at dwindling shrines for buffs, but overuse drains divine favor, leaving you vulnerable to curses.
