Bet Your Life at the Table: Taiwanese Indie Debut Sin Ante Brings a Hellish Poker Game to Taipei Game Show

As Taipei Game Show 2026 approaches, newly established Taiwanese indie game studio Crapworkers officially announced that its debut title, the Texas Hold’em–based strategy game Sin Ante, will be showcased at the Indie House exhibition area.
Sin Ante is more than a poker game—it is a survival gamble set deep within hell itself. Combining No-Limit Texas Hold’em with deck-building mechanics, the game places players in a decadent afterlife where every decision is a wager against ruin. Only those who master risk, strategy, and temptation may escape this glamorous yet corrupt inferno.

A Gilded-Bone Vision of Hell Inspired by The Divine Comedy

Visually, Sin Ante embraces a striking “Gilded-Bone” aesthetic. The game is set in a hellish casino paradise that blends modern decadence with symbolism inspired by The Divine Comedy. Gold-plated skeletons, luxurious interiors, and demonic high-rollers define a world where excess and damnation coexist. Players take on the role of a gambler condemned to hell. Each card in hand represents both power and burden, reinforcing the game’s central theme: survival through sin-fueled strategy. It is not horror—it is a stylish, high-stakes duel against the devil.

Survival at the Table: Chips Are Your Life

Beyond its distinctive visual identity, Sin Ante’s core mechanics fully embody the idea of betting with one’s life. In this hellish casino, chips are your health. There are no second chances—every bet is a direct risk to survival.
Players must endure constant pressure from dwindling chips and a limited number of in-game days, walking the fine line between bankruptcy and annihilation. To survive is to gamble wisely; to hesitate is to perish.

First Playable Demo at Taipei Game Show 2026

Taipei Game Show 2026 will be held from January 29 to February 1 at Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1.
During the event, Sin Ante will debut its first full playable demo at the Indie House exhibition area. Crapworkers invites players to sit at the table, place their bets, and see if they can gamble their way out of hell. For more information about on-site activities, please follow the Crapworkers Facebook page.
Now the table is set—only the bold will walk away.
