A 74 average on few ratings — judge this one for yourself. Horror that commits — fantasy atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run. Released in 1999 and aging better than most games from last year.

Innocent Sin takes place in the fictional Sumaru City, focusing on a group of high school students from Seven Sisters High School.

The group are aided in their quest by their Personas, personified aspects of their personalities.
