About Sinner Maker
Sinner Maker lets you design any character and watch a whole post‑Rapture society evolve. The cute visual style sits alongside deep religious themes, and you can either follow a main narrative or play sandbox to craft your own stories.
The early‑access indie runs on Windows, supports single‑player save‑anytime, Steam Cloud, and offers mouse‑only, touch‑only and adjustable difficulty options so you can play at your own pace.
01 / THE GUIDE
Character Creation
The core tool lets you build any character, defining appearance and personality, then place them into the post‑Rapture world. Each created individual can be fed, spoken to, and form relationships within the larger society.
Because characters are fully customizable, you can experiment with diverse traits and directly observe how those traits influence the community you are shaping.
- Try contrasting personalities to see how relationships develop.
- Use sandbox mode to test extreme character combinations without narrative constraints.
02 / THE GUIDE
Sandbox vs Narrative
Players may follow the main storyline that guides survival after the Rapture, or they can ignore it and use the game as a free‑form creative tool. Both approaches take place in the same simulated society of sinners.
The sandbox option encourages personal storytelling, while the narrative path provides a defined goal of surviving 33 days, giving flexibility based on player preference.
- Switch between modes to compare structured goals with open‑ended play.
- Use the narrative as a framework, then expand with sandbox creations.
03 / THE GUIDE
Survival Objective
The central challenge is to endure for 33 days in a world populated by sinners. Success promises ascension to Heaven, framing the simulation with a clear, time‑based goal.
The 33‑day limit creates tension without requiring timed inputs, allowing you to progress at your own speed while still aiming for the ultimate reward.
- Plan resource distribution early to avoid shortages later.
- Watch for problems developing in your community so you can react early.
04 / THE GUIDE
Save System
Sinner Maker offers a save‑anytime feature, letting you pause and resume without losing progress. Combined with Steam Cloud, your saves can be accessed across different Windows installations.
The ability to save at any moment supports the "playable at your own pace" design, removing pressure from the survival timer and letting you experiment freely.
- Create frequent manual saves before major community changes.
- Check Steam Cloud status after updates to confirm sync.

Platform Features
The game runs on Windows and includes mouse‑only and touch‑only input options, catering to varied hardware setups. Custom volume controls and stereo sound let you tailor the audio experience.
