The Pope: Power & Sin is a new game from PlayWay that really shows their creativity and unique style coming through. Although the developer is best known for their simulation style games, they also have a tendency for more eccentric titles. This game fits into both types of work by being an eccentric simulator where you get to be the Pope.

PlayWay’s titles tend to be a good mix of comedy within their simulation titles. Although they are handling boring and sometimes monotonous work, they always seem to make it interesting and entertaining.

Play as one of the most controversial Popes in the early 16th century. You are Pope Alexander VI, also known as Rodrigo de Borja. By taking on his authority, you must fight for political and spiritual independence from pagans and help with the renewal of administrative church structures.

This will not be an easy game to beat. Historically, the rule of Alexander VI is full of scandals and moral corruption. That means you will have to make hard decisions that will bury you in controversy and let you discover the difficulty of the era.

With unlimited power in your hands, you manage your subordinates and take care of the family as you bring about the success of the church. Unite Italy under the church and expand your territory as you collect taxes, obtain riches, and increase your power.

From the Vatican corridors to confessionals, you must gather and manage all information. There are many who want your power, and they will do anything to take your place. This means that dirty politics is fair game because you have God on your side. Every decision you make will be the right one by divine providence. You are, after all, God’s representative on Earth.

From making alliances to breaking them, you will take every decision across your desk. Decide your electors, destroy the heretics, and maintain your power during this controversial period. On Steam, there is several amazing screenshots showing the game’s graphics, components, and some of the decisions you have to make.

The Pope: Power & Sin is planned for a Steam release in 2020. There is already a Steam page dedicated to this title. In the meantime, PlayWay has several other titles available for fans to enjoy simulations of many occupations. There is sure to be a game for everyone among PlayWay’s library. PlayWay makes games for the fun of games, and being the Pope is sure to be a new and fun adventure.
