May 26, 2025 — Tabletop roleplaying game publisher Hunters Entertainment and independent game developer Anica Cihla are thrilled to announce the official Kickstarter launch of Sin Eater, a haunting new solo tabletop roleplaying game inspired by the chilling historical practice of sin eating. The campaign is now live, inviting backers to step into the shadows and explore themes of redemption, sacrifice, and the weight of human transgressions.
Sin Eater draws its inspiration from a historical ritual where individuals consumed a ceremonial meal to absorb the sins of the deceased, ensuring their peaceful passage into the afterlife. This evocative tradition forms the foundation of a deeply immersive narrative experience, weaving together innovative mechanics and profound storytelling to deliver an unforgettable journey.
About The Game: Redemption or Condemnation? It’s Your Choice
In Sin Eater, players take on the role of the titular sin-eater, crafting their backstory, designing unique rituals, and wielding bizarre tools as they confront the sins of the departed. The game uses a custom coin-flip mechanic inspired by the ancient theory of the four humors, challenging players to maintain balance while making life-altering decisions. Each session presents a standalone tale, or players can chronicle the life and inevitable decay of a single sin-eater across multiple sessions. But beware—three catastrophic failures, and the sin-eater’s journey ends in ruin.
Stunning Rewards for Backers
The Kickstarter campaign offers three editions of Sin Eater:
- Digital Edition: Includes a digital copy of the game and a printer-friendly ritual mat.
- Standard Edition: Features a softcover book, wooden coins, a high-quality ritual mat, and a sturdy game box.
- Deluxe Edition: A collector’s treasure, including a premium hardcover book, handcrafted wooden box, cloth ritual mat, custom metal coins, a special edition journal, ritual candle, and knucklebone dice.
Each edition has been meticulously designed to immerse players into the haunting world of Sin Eater. The Deluxe Edition, in particular, offers an unparalleled tactile and atmospheric experience for those seeking the ultimate journey into the shadows.
