More specifically, it is about a man that has a nightmare and worries his soul will be condemned to Hell, but when he seeks absolution, is informed by the local church that there's already a huge line of people waiting for the same thing and they won't give him priority treatment unless he's the most sinful of them all.

!!Tropes:
* TheAtoner: The protagonist ''wants'' to be one, but circumstances convince him he has to sin ''more'' to be allowed to wipe the slate clean.
* BigEater: The Pie King; even if you attempt to sabotage him with appetite suppressants, he will still beat the player in an EatingContest.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: There's an achievement for drinking three jugs of ale, which will cause the protagonist to vomit.
* CatapultNightmare: The story begins with the protagonist having one about the temptation of Eve in the Garden of Eden, igniting a desire for salvation.
* CorruptChurch: There's an incredibly long line in front of the local church of sinners waiting to pay their tithes, with only the truly corrupt being allowed to cut to the front.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:After committing every sin and being allowed into the church, they decide that the best way to absolve the protagonist is with a literal LeapOfFaith. It ends up killing him, and he's sent to hell because of all his recent sinning, forced to toil for the rest of eternity.]]
* EatingContest: There's a man known as the Pie King that challenges people, such as the player, to pie-eating contests. The only way to win is [[spoiler:to distract him and poison his current pie, killing him (and committing Wrath in the process)]].
* MediumAwareness: There's a gallery of Renaissance art depicting the source for every scene and key character in the game, which the protagonist must visit to examine the artists' names and figure out a riddle.
* NatureTinkling: If the protagonist gives some ale to the Unhealthy Drunkard, he'll relieve himself in a nearby alley.
* TheSevenDeadlySins: The protagonist, due to fear of dying before he can repent for his life's mistakes, decides to commit all seven in order to gain immediate access to the church.
