Sawaal? Jawaab.
What the game is, which phones it runs on, how ads and purchases work, and what happens to your data.
The game
What is Gunaah Simulator?
A silly third-person physics sandbox for Android, set in a desi mohalla. You play a cheeky uncle committing petty everyday gunaahs, like paan on a freshly painted wall or an empty lifafa at a shaadi, to fill the Paap Meter while the whole neighbourhood reacts.
Is it multiplayer?
No. It’s a single-player, free-roam sandbox. There’s no online play.
What language is it in?
Hinglish in Roman script. Signboards around the mohalla are in Devanagari and English, and people talk in comic gibberish with speech bubbles.
Does it ever end?
Reach Gunaahon Ka Baadshah on the Paap Meter and the whole mohalla turns up for the Badnaam-e-Mohalla award ceremony. After the credits you can keep playing as long as you like.
Can I play offline?
Yes. The game runs without internet. Ads and purchases need a connection.
Download and phones
When does it launch?
Soon. Pre-register on Google Play and you’ll get a notification on launch day, so you don’t have to keep checking.
What does pre-registering do?
It’s free and takes one tap on the Google Play listing. On launch day Google Play sends you a notification, and phones that allow it install the game by themselves. You can cancel it any time on the listing.
Which phones can play it?
Phones running Android 7.0 or later. It’s a 3D game, so newer phones run it more smoothly. On a slower phone the game settles at a steady 30 FPS by itself, and Settings has a Low graphics option.
How big is the download?
About 160 MB. Google Play shows the exact size for your phone on the listing.
Is it on iPhone or PC?
Android only, for now.
Which countries can get it?
At launch: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal.
Money and ads
Is it free?
Yes. Gunaah Simulator is free to download and play, with ads. Two small one-time purchases are there if you want them, and nothing in the game needs them.
What kind of ads are there?
Full-screen ads only come at natural breaks, after a challenge or when you go back to the menu: never in the first 10 minutes of a session, and at most one every few minutes. Rewarded ads only play when you choose one: double Paap for 60 seconds, getting Daroga ji to waive your fine, or trying a locked uncle. Ads are limited to content suitable for teenagers.
What can I buy?
Two optional one-time purchases. Ads Hatao removes the full-screen ads (rewarded ads stay, for when you want one). Saare Uncle Unlock unlocks every uncle. There are no subscriptions and no paid currency: Paap Points only come from playing.
Will my purchases work on a new phone?
Yes. Purchases belong to your Google account. Sign in with the same account and the game restores them.
Can I get a refund?
Within 48 hours of buying, ask Google Play directly. After that, email us within 14 days with your order number.
Refund policySafety and content
Who is it for?
Players aged 13 and over. It’s cartoon slapstick with some crude humour, with no blood and no swearing. Players under 18 need a parent’s or guardian’s permission, and that includes making purchases.
Terms and conditionsDoes it make fun of anyone?
The comedy is about civic habits and etiquette, the petty things everyone grumbles about. The game never targets religion, caste or community, real brands or politicians, and nothing in it harasses anyone, women included.
Content disclaimerAre animals hurt in the game?
Never. The saand, the buffaloes and the stray dogs only react. If anyone goes flying, it’s the uncle.
Is the paan tobacco?
No. It’s meetha paan, and the game shows no tobacco, alcohol or drugs.
Progress and your data
Do I need an account?
No. There’s no sign-in and no account.
Where is my progress saved?
Only on your phone. Uninstalling the game deletes it, and there’s no cloud save. Naya Khel in the menu starts you over.
What data does the game collect?
We don’t collect any: there are no accounts and no servers of ours. Google’s ad and billing services handle some data, and the privacy policy lists exactly what.
Privacy policyCan I make YouTube videos or streams?
Yes, please. Videos, Shorts and streams are welcome, monetised or not. The press kit has art and screenshots you can use.
Press kitI found a bug. Where do I tell you?
Email support@gunaahsimulator.in with your phone’s model and what happened. A screenshot helps a lot.
