You play as Artemy Burakh, a doctor returning to a strange rural town as a deadly plague takes hold. Over 12 days, you investigate what is happening, meet townspeople and try to help the community while navigating its mysteries.
Explore the town on foot, talk with residents, search homes and streets for supplies, and barter for what you need. Gather herbs and other ingredients to make medicine, diagnose and treat patients, and use stealth or fight when danger blocks your way.
Time keeps moving while you manage hunger, thirst, exhaustion, injuries and scarce resources. Each day brings new pressures and changes to the town; you must decide which errands, treatments and people deserve your limited time, knowing you cannot pursue everything.
Supplied reviewers often praise the town’s unsettling atmosphere, distinctive characters and dense, sometimes cryptic writing. They also value how the ticking clock and scarce supplies make choices feel consequential and create a tense survival experience. Some find that pressure compelling, while others describe the difficulty, long stretches of walking and opaque early hours as exhausting or frustrating.
