Schuld is a freeware horror-puzzle game created by Kelven, the same person who created Desert Nightmare. A man named Aaron wakes up in the middle of a street with no memory of how he got there. All he has is a book, which is largely blank except for the last page, which has the seven deadly sins listed on it. After going into a town and discovering that, while he was asleep, the world has apparently taken a turn for the much worse- a disease that slowly rots peoples bodies is spreading, survivors are being captured to harvest their body parts, and the city is under control of a totalitarian nation going to war with its neighbors- he meets a mysterious man named Vergil who tells him he will not help him through this strange world, but he will guide him. It just gets weirder from there.The game was translated from German into English by Azn Chipmunk, who also translated Desert Nightmare. The translation can be downloaded here.

Crapsack World
 Schuld (Video Game) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: Aaron is trapped in a post-apocalyptic world where there's constant war, a virus called "the Rot" is decomposing people's limbs and money has no value anymore. The real world is no better, with a moon prison that tortures its inmates by trapping them in a digital world, with their suffering being broadcasted to people on Earth for fun. And the heavy implication that Maria is a sex slave.

Sex Slave: It's heavily implied Maria is a "comfort woman", but poses as Williams's wife to avoid scandal. That's why he's unconcerned after he kills her, stating to Aaron that she was disposable.

Wham Episode: The final chapter "Truth" lives up to its name by revealing that everything Aaron experienced thus far was a machine-induced dream as part of his rehabilitation in a prison on the moon. The program is run and tampered with by Judge Williams who wishes to get revenge on Aaron for taking away the use of his legs as retaliation for killing Maria.

Revenge Before Reason: Williams is in charge of overseeing Aaron's sentence, until he starts tampering with the digital world in order to make him suffer more. This is what convinces Vergil to turn against him and free Aaron. Aaron decides to take his revenge against Williams at the end, even though the space station is going to self-destruct in a few minutes and if he takes his revenge there's no chance of getting out alive.
