We believe they deserve a wider audience with the Joystiq Indie Pitch: This week, Crankshaft Games' Daniel Menard talks about his PC co-op puzzle-platformer about breaking out of Hell and storming Heaven, <a href="http://www.partyofsin.com/"><em>Party of Sin</em></a>.</font></small></div><hr size="2" width="100%" /><div style="text-align: center; "> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/05/the-joystiq-indie-pitch-party-of-sin/"><img alt="The Joystiq Indie Pitch Party of Sin" data-src-height="298" data-src-width="530" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/partyofsin.jpg" /></a></div><br /><strong>What's your game and what's it about?</strong><br /><br />Our game is called <em>Party of Sin</em>. It's a puzzle-platformer where you get to embody the Seven Deadly Sins. The Sins are locked in a prison deep in hell after an angel sting operation lead by the arch-angel Michael. You must use the Sins' seven unique powers to solve puzzles and battle your way out of hell and take the fight to the angels in Heaven. You can swap sins at any time (much like <em>Lost Vikings</em> or <em>Trine</em>) and must combine their powers in interesting ways to overcome the challenges that await.<br /><br />The game also has a coop mode, and in coop the Sins can directly interact with each other. They can use their to help the team, or fall to the other side of morality and backstab / grief each other. Two players can't have the same sins, so there is a lot of social interaction involved in solving the puzzles.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/">Party of Sin</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/#5338328"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/partyofsinairshipscreenshot-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/#5338329"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/partyofsinairshipscreenshot-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/#5338330"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/partyofsinairshipscreenshot-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/#5338331"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/partyofsinairshipscreenshot-5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/party-of-sin/#5338352"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/screenshot2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/05/the-joystiq-indie-pitch-party-of-sin/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Party of Sin</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/05/the-joystiq-indie-pitch-party-of-sin/">The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Party of Sin</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:00:00 EST.
