Simulator: Medieval Plague Doctor-Historically Accurate Simulation

Example

Players assume the role of a medieval apothecary, making decisions on how to treat plague patients with limited knowledge and resources.

Scenario

A player might be presented with a sick villager and must choose between several dubious remedies, such as a theriac, based on medieval medical texts, to attempt a cure.

Example

The game educates players on medieval medicine, social customs, and the historical context of the Black Death.

Scenario

While concocting a remedy, the game might provide a brief history of the ingredients, their believed effects, and their actual effectiveness, offering players insights into medieval medical practices.

Example

Players must carefully manage their resources, reputation, and risk of arrest in a precarious social and economic environment.

Scenario

Deciding whether to sell a high-risk, high-reward remedy could lead to wealth or the player's apothecary being shut down by the authorities, demonstrating the constant balancing act required to survive.

Example

The game presents players with challenges based on real historical events and conditions, such as dealing with the flagellants or the closure of city gates due to the plague.

Scenario

Players may need to decide if joining the procession of flagellants will increase their social standing and protect them from the law, or if it's better to avoid drawing attention.
