Our take on Plague of Yamorn
The focus on scavenging, crafting, and infection-derived abilities gives combat several connected systems, but the premise keeps the experience centered on cleansing one ruined town rather than a broader setting.
What is Plague of Yamorn?
Plague of Yamorn is a 2D metroidvania set in a ruined town and its surrounding areas.
As a plague doctor, the player explores Yamorn, searches its remains for materials, and works to uncover the cause of the infection. The game also frames the player as a captain of the town guard, tasked with saving survivors and fighting those claimed by the plague. Materials can be used to craft offensive and defensive items, while goods can be purchased from grave robbers. The infection itself grants powers and abilities that can be used during the effort to cleanse the town and find the source of the outbreak.
