Our take on Do No Harm
Its defining structure is a 30-day village-doctor role in which diagnoses, treatments, and moral decisions determine how the story ends.
What is Do No Harm?
Take the role of a village doctor in a Lovecraftian simulator set around a 19th-century medical practice.
Examine patients' symptoms, use tools to narrow treatment options, consult a grimoire-like Book of Medicine, and administer remedies inspired by Early Modern medicine. Reality-warping entities can cause hallucinations, block interactions, and misrepresent treatment results while anomalies affect sanity. A reputation system changes how villagers behave. Diagnoses, treatments, and moral decisions shape the story, including whether to save or kill patients, whom to trust, and which of 12 endings is reached. The game covers 30 days as the village becomes increasingly hostile.
