Our take on Pestis
The defining structure is a treatment race against infection: the plague doctor must cure villagers while remaining uninfected, with progress reflected through ascending medical ranks.
What is Pestis?
Play as a young plague doctor sent by an academy to a small medieval village during a nationwide outbreak.
Treat residents and cure as many as possible while avoiding infection. Progress is tied to the number of infected people remaining and raises the doctor through named statuses, from assistant plague doctor to descendant of Hippocrates. The game uses a gloomy atmosphere and an unusual graphic style.

- Treatment progress raises the character through named medical status levels.
