A demo playthrough of Sin or Suffer, an upcoming RPG where you're a prisoner trying to explore your jail to find out why you were imprisoned for so long. It's rather like another RPG game, I think it's called Afraid and Hungry or somesuch that makes life very difficult for you and likely very short.
The demo ends as soon as you get into battle with the convict hunter which doesn't appear winnable since no spells work and you can't do enough damage through items (thought the red vial would be usable in combat but guess not!) on top of the dog having no damaging moves. You can loop him around to run up the stairs and explore the top level a bit but there's not too much there. There are some bolt cutters up there you can bring to the dwarf to break either your handcuffs or shackles. Unfortunately that isn't too helpful since the combat moves don't appear to work against the convict hunter's punch and running won't work either.
You can also enter the top level by using the red vial on the piled bodies outside which lets you skip mealtime with the prisoner in solitary. As well, talking to the prisoner after searching their bucket just starts a fight. The chest in the middle of the hall that I skipped causes bleeding (like stepping on the broken glass) so I didn't want to waste my only bandage treating it since it appears needed for the red vial.
Not too much variety in deaths at this time but I tried to test as much as I could. The violent background gave me an option to pull the dwarf's beard via magic but he stops you (and doesn't try to kill you). Losing to convicts just has you collapse like with other deaths so it was redundant. Interestingly, if the bolt cutters were used the convict hunter has a different kill animation for ending the demo.
Anyhow, if you did like Fear and Hunger you might find this one interesting though it is a bit more limited due to being shackled (which presumably will be expected to be removed in the full game).
