Press release:
The Netherlands – June 20, 2023.
The Spain-based indie games developer Cereal Games and video games publisher BadLand Publishing, are today very thrilled and pleased to announce that their film noir-themed pixel-art ARPG “Pecaminosa: A Deadly Hand” (which is a reedition of the police action ARPG now available on Steam and Nintendo Switch), is coming digitally to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) this Summer (2023).

This new version will feature the original game plus its most recent DLC La Soirée, an epilogue chapter that offers closure to a few unfinished mysteries from the original ending.

ABOUT THE GAME
Pecaminosa: A Deadly Hand is noir ARPG set in a border town between the United States and Mexico where gambling, corruption and crime are a daily occurrence. For John Souza, a former detective who lived through better times, this is the perfect place to lay low and find solace at the bottom of a bottle.

John would never have suspected that his next job would be coming from a real 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.

KEY FEATURES:

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.
The end is never the end. There’s something threatening in the air, and it’s not syphilis. It involves the elite of Pecaminosa, and a case that Sully, John’s detective partner, was investigating before he disappeared. Follow his steps, find new clues and uncover the truth to what happened to him.
