I finished the game today. I quickly finished the remainder of the sins. It took a while for me to think about what was going on in order to complete them. I also looked to Google to complete the greed task. I was immoral by googling how to finish the game rather than playing it. However, I did it for the purpose of finishing the game. I had to go to a man who was scamming a family who recently had someone pass. He sent me to some weird government group to get a document. I had to solve a guy's riddle to get the document. When I got the riddle (Via Google) correct, I got a document. When I brought it to the man, he gave me a cut of the portion he stole from the family. This is when I completed all the sins. I then went back to the church where they told me I was immoral and I wouldn't be forgiven. I then had to take a "leap of faith" in which I jumped to my death. It was strange but made sense that by jumping to "get judged" and "have faith" would lead to my death. I was sad I finished the game and wish I took the time to figure out the greed thing, but I am now finished with the game. It was an interesting game in which it forced the player, me, to commit a series of immoral acts. Very immoral as they were all of the 7 deadly sins. Ultimately, the deadly sins did lead me to my death in the game.

Today, I committed a crime in the game. I killed the king pie man, to get the wrath sin out of the way. I poisoned him after he beat me, I had also poisoned another man, but he never ate the food. I tried to commit lust, but the woman wouldn't bite and her husband kept getting in the way. These are all immoral acts that shouldn't be done in the real world. There really isn't a great framework to analyze his actions. They are all pretty immoral and really don't benefit anyone. Back in the day, many individuals were all focused on gaining wealth by taking advantage of others. This game is a prime example of the horrors some had committed in the Renaissance to go through in order to get on the top. While it isn't factual, there are some similarities between the game and history. I felt bad for committing the crimes, but I would like to finish the game. It makes me uncomfortable, but that is okay; I am not harming anyone in real life.

I am a little confused as to what this game is. It is staged in the Renaissance era, and there are a lot of references towards that. The funniest part would have to be the beginning where the character you play as goes to the church and tries to repent. However, there is no proof that he did it, so they tell him to go do them again. This is morally wrong. He first committed those crimes in a dream, so why would he want to reenact them in person? Just to repent? The church gave him this idea to fill their pockets as you have to pay them to be forgiven of your sins. The morally compromising act is the church claiming that they will not go to heaven unless they are forgiven for their sins. Taking the money that is required to pay in order to be forgiven also sets societal norms.
The game goes on, when the man just sloths around under a tree, a sin is achieved. He committed a morally unjust act of just sitting around, according to the church. When the man goes to a house with a lot of kids, the lawyer guy is claiming that a fraction will have to be paid to him. This clerk man is taking advantage of the fact that the family is illiterate and has no idea how much money they had just inherited. This whole game, thus far, has committed immoral acts when it comes to gaining more money.

When I played today, I had to stop at the scene where Six is kidnapped. She climbed into a cage to eat the food, and the janitor guy kidnapped her. It was wild, and scary. This part is very unethical, because this poor girl is being captured and tricked. She seems to be smart enough to know that it was a cage, but she was so overcome with hunger and just wanted to eat the food. As the player, I just saw food and didn't even notice it was a cage until she was eating and I couldn't control her. I just saw the food and was happy, as the girl was really hungry and it was hard to play the game. Similar to how it would be hard to carry on in real life, if I was starving. Additionally, the Janitor is very unethical in kidnapping the girl who is just hungry. When you are starving, crippling in pain, you will eat whatever you can find. This janitor took advantage of that to lure a child into a cage. This game is glorifying kidnapping and making this girl escape (I assume) from her expected death of being kidnapped and tortured.
