Here’s a short list of bugs I encountered during the 15 minutes I played: - Got stuck in a body after dropping it next to a wall. - I could buy food with insufficient funds, but then couldn't buy food when I had enough money. - If an NPC walks too close while digging, the bar would reset or disappear (in this case, the grave would be finished). - Clipped into …

A realistic portrayal of London during the Bubonic Plague. Your role is the plague doctor to buy bodies and keep your family fed. Pros: - Realistic pixel graphics of London buildings and clothing of residents. - Music reflects medieval London vibe. Cons: - Not enough tasks besides burying bodies. Besides looking for random items to make traps and pulling bodies outside of river, there is not much else to do. This …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was.. Impressive. In this game we will find ourselves in London, in 1665, at the height of the bubonic plague, a very large epidemic of that time. As a plague doctor, we will have to walk around the city and collect bodies, as well as bury them. Receiving some money as a reward, we set priorities: family, well-being or something else.
