Pecaminosa blends the charm of a pixel art ARPG with the stifling atmosphere of film noir. It’s like mixing The Legend of Zelda with Touch of Evil — you haven’t seen and played anything like it! Interrogate suspects, explore a city dominated by crime and sin, and never hesitate to use your fists and guns. These are hard times in Pecaminosa. Customize your character's equipment and improve your skill set by distributing experience points among the four parameters of the L.I.F.E. system: Luck, Intelligence, Force and Endurance. Play Blackjack to earn extra money, visit the liquor store, socialize with the scum, visit the police station and the brothel, in addition to other venues recreated with great graphic detail… and don't trust anyone. There’s a bullet with your name on it, and it’s eager to meet you. Welcome to Pecaminosa, a border city between the United States and Mexico where gambling, corruption and crime reign in its dusty streets. A home for all those who live outside the law... and for our protagonist, John Souza, a former detective, a man who lived through better times before finding comfort at the bottom of the bottle. John would never have suspected that his next job was going to come at the hands of a ghost. Charlie's 'Two Angels' specter appears to him with a task: to capture his former associates in order to achieve redemption for their sins and be able to pass through the gates of Heaven. To hunt the living in order to bring peace to the dead. In the shadows: Take part in a dark and criminal world that will appeal to your most basic instincts at every step, just like in your favorite noir movies. Push your moral limits to the rhythm of jazz and find out how far you are willing to go to complete your mission. Vice and virtue: Bet hard, drink till collapse, surrender to pleasure, become friends with the scum, bribe the good guys… Imagination is the limit, but be careful if you don't want to end with a bullet in your head. Dressed to kill: Distribute your experience points into four different parameters (Luck, Intelligence, Force and Endurance) and choose your equipment according to your custom build. Plus, you’ll be able to customize your character’s appearance — classy guys have bigger chances to win! Silver and lead: Besides taking part in an intense and dashing narrative, you also get to fight against big, bad, bosses. Keep an eye on their moves or you’ll soon be sleeping with the fishes. Pecaminosa includes the DLC La Soirée , an epilogue that offers new answers on the disappearance of detective Sullivan. There's something threatening in the air, and it's not syphilis. The Pecaminosa elite are up to their necks in a series of highly shady dealings, and Sully seems to have found out about it before he disappeared. As his former partner, John Souza will take it upon himself to track Sully down to find answers and, in the process, teach these filthy rich guys a lesson they will never forget. Here you’ll find: An original piece of story where your choices dictate John’s and Sully’s end. Find new clues, tie up the loose ends and close a surprising and supernatural story that will prove to you just how weak the flesh is… New enemies to face, including an unknown and fearsome boss. He looks pretty confident, so don’t rest on your laurels! More locations to investigate and characters that will give you valuable information (or do their best to stop you). New Poker and Slot machines minigames at casinos. Don't let anyone control how to waste your paycheck! Tons of jokes, each worse than the last — we keep trying…
