Sinful City

Sinful City is a Japanese fighting game developed by and published by  on June 8, 2020. The game was originally a PC exclusive and was released on but due to good sales, it was later ported to. The overwhelming and unexpected success of the series eventually spawned a series of games.

Plot
The setting of Sinful City is based heavily on 1920s-40s America, though it is actually set in a dystopian future. In this future, the only city left in the United States is one whose name the citizens have forgotten, referring to it instead by the nickname "The Sinful City", due to its high crime rates, crippled economy, and horrifying government. All of these things can be linked to an event called "The Incident", where a mysterious bright light engulfed the entire US, destroying the cities and forcing the ruling body, a mysterious governor, to crack down on security in the city, building an army of robotic policemen that protect the city while also keeping himself and other influential people safe by creating a higher-class part of the city separated from the rest where "people of interest" are kept (CEOs, nobles, the rich in general, etc). However, the bizarre nature of the city combined with a mysterious energy emanating from it often draw forces to it, whether scientific, magical, or otherwise, for their own personal reasons. The game's various story modes follow both outsiders travelling to the city and city-goers uncovering the secrets of the place they call home.
