Calamity Sin: A Gripping Tale Inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill
Hello, and welcome to the very first blog post for our upcoming game Calamity Sin! My name is Andrew, I am one of the lead narrative designers and writers of Calamity Sin, working amongst a small group of developers who are as passionate to get this game done and out as much as I am! We’ll have plenty to show you over the game’s development cycle, but first things first.
Picture this: Calamity Sin is an immersive third-person, fixed camera angle survival horror game that puts you into the role of a young woman named Cassandra who wakes up in a haunting morgue, devoid of her memories and her past. All she has to guide her are the bodies leading the way across this strange environment she’s found herself in, the bizarre mutated forms that have come to greet her violently, and the voice of a mysterious woman over the intercom assisting Cassandra in surviving.
Drawing inspiration from classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Calamity Sin boasts an artfully designed fixed-camera perspective, which the game has taken immense influence from. The player will have to survive in this facility in which experiments have gone wrong, utilizing their wits and survival instincts to manage resources, solve puzzles big and small, and get out alive.
A little bit of design and the story behind Cassandra
Cassandra grew up in the Theoris Organization's monastery, raised by the organization's leaders. She was told that her parents had died, but never learned the truth about her mother Athena. The Theoris Organization considered her impure, and never considered that she could be the messianic figurehead or "Ultimate Being."
The Player Character appears with the robe & tactical version. The tactical version doesn't have the masked version as in the concept art.

That is all we have to show for now, but stay tuned to learn more as the development of Calamity Sin continues. In the coming months, we’ll release more blog posts detailing further aspects of the game, so we hope you check those out in the future.
