# Sinner Maker Guide
Sinner Maker looks simple when you first open it, but the game is not just a character creator. It is a strange social simulation built around sinners, moral judgment, personality, relationships, faith, and chaos.
This beginner guide explains the most important systems without overcomplicating the game. If you are new, your goal is not to win immediately. Your goal is to understand how sinners are created, how sin values work, and how the game turns small choices into weird stories.
Start With the Character Creator
The first thing you do in Sinner Maker is create a sinner. This is where the game feels closest to Mii Maker or Tomodachi Life, but with a darker religious twist.
You can change the sinner's face, body, clothing, colors, tattoos, and other parts. Each choice may influence how the game judges that sinner. The point is not only to make a good-looking character. The point is to see what kind of sinner the system thinks you created.
For beginners, the best approach is simple: make several sinners quickly. Do not spend 30 minutes polishing one character before you understand how the system reacts.
Understand the Seven Deadly Sins
The seven sins are the core identity layer of Sinner Maker:
Wrath means aggression, anger, or threat.
Pride means vanity, arrogance, or self-importance.
Greed means desire, possession, or selfishness.
Envy means comparison, resentment, or jealousy.
Gluttony means overconsumption and indulgence.
Sloth means laziness, passivity, or neglect.
Lust means desire, attraction, or temptation.
The game uses these sins to give each sinner a darker profile. This is what makes Sinner Maker different from a normal avatar tool. Your character is not neutral. The world judges them.
Do Appearance Choices Matter?
Yes, appearance matters, especially in the prototype version. The itch.io description explains that different visual choices can lead to different sin points. For example, a larger sinner may gain more gluttony, while a more menacing-looking sinner may gain more wrath.
That said, the developer has also discussed balancing the game more toward personality and traits rather than only facial appearance. So the current system may change as the game develops.
As a player, you should treat appearance as a starting point, not the final truth of the character.
Create Multiple Sinners
One sinner is not enough to see what Sinner Maker is really doing. The game becomes more interesting when multiple sinners exist together.
Create different types:
- A peaceful-looking sinner with hidden wrath.
- A holy-looking sinner with high pride.
- A ridiculous-looking sinner with unexpected balance.
- A scary sinner who becomes socially harmless.
- A cute sinner who turns out morally cursed.
Watch Social Interactions
The larger version of Sinner Maker is built around social simulation. Sinners can form relationships, friendships, enemies, and other social dynamics. Some systems may still be unfinished or changing, especially in browser builds, but the direction is clear: your sinners are meant to live together, not just sit in a menu.
Pay attention to how sinners react to each other. If someone is hated, mocked, loved, or ignored, that becomes part of the story.
Build Houses and Manage Needs
The Steam version describes house construction, resource management, and needs management as part of the game. This means Sinner Maker is moving closer to a colony sim or god game, where the player is responsible for the society around the characters.
Do not only focus on making funny faces. If the version you are playing includes housing or resource systems, prioritize basic stability first. Give sinners somewhere to live, watch their moods, and solve obvious problems before trying to create more chaos.
Save Your Progress Carefully
Browser games can sometimes lose progress if the tab refreshes, the browser clears storage, or the game updates. Sinner Maker's community pages also show players discussing browser refresh and save issues.
A safer habit is to use save slots when available, avoid playing in private or incognito mode, and do not clear site data if you want to keep progress.
If you are serious about a long-term save, the downloadable version or Steam version may be more stable than browser play.
Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Do not assume Sinner Maker is finished just because it is playable. It is still evolving.
Do not judge the entire game from one sinner. The systems make more sense when you create a group.
Do not ignore traits. The game is likely to move more toward personality-based systems over time.
Do not expect every relationship or romance feature to work perfectly in early builds. Some systems may be placeholders or incomplete.
Do not play only for optimization. Sinner Maker is more interesting when you let weird outcomes happen.
Best Way to Enjoy Sinner Maker
The best way to play Sinner Maker is to treat it like a cursed dollhouse.
Create sinners. Give them extreme traits. Put them together. Watch the game judge them. Then let the simulation create stories you did not plan.
That is the real appeal. Sinner Maker is not just about making the perfect character. It is about creating a society of flawed little people and seeing what kind of moral disaster unfolds.
