‘7 Sins’ is a life simulation video game produced in France. The player controls a male player-character (who appears to be nameless) in fictional Apple City and tries to climb the social ladder. In the process, the player has to make decisions associated with various deadly sins. In addition to the “Sin meter,” each character the player-character meets in the game affects the player-character’s three meters: Sex, Anger, and Stress.

The game appears to have only been released in Europe and was banned in the U.S. This video below shows a basic overview of the game (*Content Warning*: transphobia, sexual assault).
