Pestilence

Survive three historic outbreaks as a plague doctor. Manage infection, brew remedies, balance rival factions, and face the cost of every choice.

Every remedy has a price. Every alliance has consequences. Every day may be your last.

Pestilence is a text-driven historical survival strategy game in which you take the role of a plague doctor confronting three of history’s most infamous outbreaks.

Endure the Black Death of 1348, the Great Plague of London in 1665, and the Soho cholera outbreak of 1854. Manage your health, infection, finances and public standing as each decision changes the course of the quarantine.

Treat the sick. Investigate disturbing reports. Brew remedies from scarce ingredients. Bargain with clergy, nobility, commoners and apothecaries—and decide who receives aid when everyone cannot be saved.
