The Plague Doctor of Wippra

На Steam Deck работает хорошо. Спасибо Норд за подарок! Игра в жанре point & click, в пиксельном стиле, проходится за полтора-два часа и рассказывает короткую историю про так сказать чумного доктора, точнее доктора в эпоху чумы. К сожалению в игре русского языка нет, поэтому за происходящим было местами сложно следить. Сюжет не то чтобы прям 10/10 по интересности, в середине уже начинало наскучивать. Пиксельный стиль неплох, но персонажи мне не понравились, слишком минималистично выглядити, а может это только из за отсутствия лиц, не знаю. Музыки иногда не хватало, просто в полной тишине были места в игре. Очень сложно, скорее всего из за отсутствия русского, но я большую часть времени не могла понять что от меня хотят, пришлось проходить 80% игры по гайду. Очень душные и непонятные моменты, дропнуть хотелось каждые 10 минут. Хорошей концовки добиться сложно и без гайда даже не особо понятно как. Я бы не советовала эту игру, особенно за её цену.. есть много других point & click игр намного лучше, а эта пожалуй душновата и скучновата. Мне её вообще дарили как часть набора The longing + эта игра (так как там выходит что две игры покупаешь по цене как за 0.75 от игры), так бы сама не сыграла.

Maybe it's my lack of familiarity with the genre but some of the puzzle solutions were more frustrating than intuitive. A hint system beyond the medical book would have been nice as well not being punished for using it. The achievements weren't very impactful: being acquired for just doing the main story or choosing specific dialog options. The autosave and deletion of your save file after completing the game meant replaying the whole game for them. The game didn't really hold up to a second playthrough since there's no difference in the puzzles or dialog outcomes beyond the very last one. Despite everything, I still enjoyed my time with the game. Great art, music, and atmosphere.

Histoire originale, ça change des jeux que je joue habituellement. Jeu facile à prendre en main, cool à faire et refaire !

the game is just trying to find the right person to talk to in the right order with the right items at the right moment its a pain in the ass

A peste negra phodeu de jeito o continente, pois lá era perfeitamente normal viver o modo Cascão de ser. Eles literalmente tacavam a merda deles todo dia pela janela e foda-se. Além disso, as ruas das cidades europeias eram uma porra, sempre tinha muita sujeira, pois ao invés de tacar fogo no lixo, eles focavam em tacar fogo nas bruxas. A peste negra também acompanhou uma onda de suicídios que se originou na Europa graças ao livro Os Sofrimentos Do Jovem Werther, que continha a história mais triste de todos os tempos: um cara que não conseguiu namorar uma menina e se mata com um prestobarba rosinha com fita umectante. De todas as doenças, a peste foi uma das poucas que tiveram influência determinante no desenvolvimento da história da humanidade. Vários jovens entre 12 e 16 anos foram afetados, quase todos letalmente, e os azarados que não morreram sofreram retardo mental eterno e foram excluídos da sociedade, como se fosse muito ruim ficar recluso de uma sociedade que cheirava a meia usada. Com o tempo a peste foi sendo adaptada e algumas bandas de metal passaram a usar como símbolo (ainda hoje usam) pelas mensagens subliminares em suas músicas

The Plague Doctor of Wippra is a wonderfully atmospheric point-and-click adventure with stunning low-res pixel art and a hauntingly effective soundtrack that together create a genuinely oppressive medieval atmosphere. The story follows a plague doctor navigating superstition and ignorance with real historical grounding, and the puzzle design is mostly logical — I particularly enjoyed the zodiac man puzzle, though a couple of solutions felt arbitrary and had me stumped. My main complaint mirrors what everyone else says: the game ends just when you're getting truly invested, clocking in around two hours, which feels too brief to fully develop its characters or themes. That said, the quality of what's here is undeniable, and the multiple endings give it some replay value even if the differences are modest. If you can catch it on sale and appreciate slow-burn narrative adventures in the vein of The Last Door, it's absolutely worth your time.

very tidy and timely. a joy to play.

Short but surprisingly immersive. A sad and beautiful story, fun for an evening to get all achievments.

Very enjoyable but very short. I loved the art and setting.

The game is enjoiable, the settings and story interesting, but that's about it. I'm not giving lightly this bad review but the whole game feels like a demo, when things starts to get interesting, it is suddently over. About the puzzles, in the beginning they are pretty mechanical but one expects this sorts of games to increase in difficulty. Well that's not the case. It's just the same brainless object hunt till the end. There are multiple endings but the tedius puzzles make it hard to wanting to start over. Conversations options also sounds the same so I wasn't really sure what fate I was choosing. It could have been a really interesting concept, too bad. Just buy on heavy sale if you really want it.
