About This Game

The Book of Plagues is a dystopian medieval doctor simulator where your decisions determine the fate of an entire town.

Become a scientist doctor in the city of Ludwig, where plague, famine and panic are rampant! Diagnose diseases, treat and take risks - patients can recover or die, setting off a chain of unpredictable events...

To stop the plague from spreading, you'll have to make tough decisions. Close markets, impose quarantines, restrict the movement of residents, or even burn down infected houses. But remember, every decision has consequences! Measures that are too strict can cause riots, and measures that are too lenient can lead to disaster!

A city has a life of its own. Residents react to your actions, spread rumors, panic or unite. Your reputation and the trust of the citizens will influence how they perceive your decisions.

Being a doctor in Ludwig is dangerous, but lucrative: every patient is willing to pay to be saved. Buy rare recipes, mix ingredients and create powerful medicines. Develop your skills, learn new methods and become the best doctor... but remember - not everyone can be saved.

The game is divided into weeks, and each appointment is a new challenge. From beggars to nobles, everyone is waiting for your help. Diagnose diseases, heal in dynamic mini-games and brew potions in the distiller.

Your only friend is a raven named Paguba, sitting in a cage. He gives advice, comments on your successes and failures... but only the doctor hears her. Who is he really?

The Book of Plagues is a deep and dark game that combines complex moral dilemmas with black humor. Inspired by the historical chronicles of the 14th century Black Death and classic literature, it immerses you in the atmosphere of medieval madness.

Will you take on the role of the Plague Doctor, risking not only the salvation of the townspeople, but also your own soul?
