Pestis
This is a really good game, the best game I ever bought on steam for less than 50 cents. The concept is awesome and executed very well with the atmosphere and the theme it all just sort of gets you into the mood of the game and collecting herbs to make and mix potions is just really fun and interesting and there is so many ways to go about how you play the game from saving everyone, killing everyone, killing rats and making bombs to destroy their nest healing your self with potions and eating shrooms to stave off the plague and death. Just all around a cool indie game that you can play on a potato pc or even a calculator and its so cheap and so affordable how can you not get this game? The steam achievements are easy to get and look cool to.

Pestis would be a decent high-score game if it had leaderboards and more maps. Right now it has 1 map and 6 relatively easy achievements, hardly any reason to play it for more than 30 minutes. I think the artwork and animation are decent for what it is. You play as a plague doctor that is trying to cure a small village, and the game certainly captures that sinister atmosphere. The gameplay incorporates the potion mixing mechanic, although the system is very basic. There is some potential for improving your resource management, but without leaderboards I don’t see the appeal. I think if the developer can add at least 2 more locations it would be serviceable (urban area and catacombs perhaps?). It has a partial support for controller despite not being listed on the store page. My F310 works fine, but you can’t rebind it from default state.

Mask of the Plague Doctor
This game is fantastic. I’ve streamed and played this for days chapter by chapter and loved the hell out of each one. I love how each choice effects the dialogue, the outcome, and your stats. It’s so in depth and hits you hard for the consequences of your actions. Not gonna lie I almost cried at one point. I’m glad to have gotten the opportunity to solve the mystery of Thornback Hollow and found a cure along with a very wholesome ending. I highly recommend this game and i’m glad I payed full price instead of buying it when the discount was around because in my opinion the story is worth that and more.

I don’t get how people could give good reviews to this game. Don’t you have any good taste? Although there is no problem with writing style itself, the story line is simply dry and boring. Not to mention you often have to get through large chunks of text for the next choice-making, which serious tried my patience and made me struggle to keep my focus. The characters are also so shallow and two-dimension that I felt the writer just decided to throw in some balanced merits and weaknesses, and call them “characters”. Maybe it’s just my thing, but this is one of the few pure-text games which I just cannot make myself get through to the end, because it’s just that boring and dry.

The Mortuary Assistant
Having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, you have taken on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Over the past several months you have logged many hours aiding the Mortician in daily tasks along with learning the ins and outs of the embalming process as well as how to properly handle and care for the deceased.
Over your time at River Fields, you have heard rumors of families bringing their deceased loved ones believed to be possessed or otherwise entangled with the paranormal to this specific mortuary to put to rest. But, with such a stigma around death and what happens when we die, it’s no surprise people make up stories around the dead.
Late one night, you are called into work to handle some embalmings. Death doesn’t keep day time hours. But there is something different about these bodies because there is something different about you. The phone rings with the Mortician on the other end. The rumors are true, and you can not leave.
Perform embalmings, handle the various jobs around the mortuary, and exercise demonic forces. All in a day’s work.
