I got sucked into this game big time- it is highly recommended! Although the story is contained for the most part within one town, the many areas and constant excitement make it feel like a vast world ripe for exploring. There are constant twists and turns, and I found myself often wondering which direction different choices would lead. I have now finished the game twice and had two quite different experiences- they are plenty of ways to go through this game. I don't have many downsides to speak of- although romance is most definitely not the focus of this game. There are only 3 choices, romantic moments seems few and far between, and it was surprisingly easy to jump in/out of a romantic pairing accidentally. Sometimes comforting a friend is simply a nice gesture, but other times it ends up in bed with one another- oops! In the entire game I only spotted a handful of spelling/grammatical errors- truly impressive for a piece this size. There were a few inconsistencies where a choice or situation I hadn't been in was referenced, but these were also few and far between. The main goal of saving the town is not overly easy to achieve, and there are plenty of ways to fail. But it is also not a challenging game that leaves the player frustrated. It is a wonderful mix of challenge and success and leaves the player ready and excited for another play-through when the credits roll. All-in-all a delightful story and a highly recommended game!

I absolutely loved the story and when I reached the end of my first play launched it to see how different choices would lead me down different paths. Really loved the environment the game took place in, great length, very well written. Looking forward to playing it again!
An experiment in mind-reading of the author; logic takes a back space to guessing what the writer believed would be the best solution. Beaten thrice; nearly all endings bad.
This is a long and heavy one, I only recommended it if you have played another more light Choice Of Game novel. Some decisions where hard to make for me, the game definitly delivers on that
It's a fun choose your own adventure game. I found the story interesting and compelling enough that I got through the game pretty quickly. I'll probably play it again to see the other endings.
10/10 would wear the Mask of the Plague doctor again
This is the best Choice Of game I've played. It has great atmosphere, and tons of routes available. I recommend it!
It was okay. Just my opinion, but the story was rather dull and didn't appeal to me significantly. I could see some people enjoying it, the writing is quite nice.
[b]This game is definitely an acquired taste, but it's still good! It's kind of like a visual novel, but it isn't. It has the story and the choices, but as you see in some of the pictures, there are no character sprites. I was expecting a different kind of game and thought that the pages were like filling out information or data recording, so I was really surprised when I began to play it and saw that it was just pages of text and choice boxes. Here are many pros and one con about this game formed from my opinion:[/b] [h1]Pro(s):[/h1] 1. It's unexpected. It doesn't have a main menu like most games would, it just starts you off in the first chapter. 2. Despite #1, this game is fairly easy to grasp. It has option buttons below the title for stats, reset, achievements, and menu(settings) - in that exact order. In the settings menu, it allows you to configure the text size, background color, and page change to your liking. 3. This game allows you to develop your character [i]as you go[/i]. Despite the daunting amount of achievements this game has, they are mainly about how you develop your character and can be pretty easy to get. Of course, there are two achievements about the endings, but the other 90 achievements are about character development. Your choices can mold to how you are as a person, or they can mold to the exact opposite of who you are. That's the wonderful part about this game, because you get to choose who [i]you[/i] are. [h1]Con(s):[/h1] 1. There isn't any music. Although the story is rich in details and creates a very ominous atmosphere and acts like a storybook, it is still a game and music would definitely keep the mood contained. [b]Like I said before, this game can be an acquired taste, and let me explain why; games like this are expected to either be action/adventure games that are also story based like rpgs, or they're expected to be visual novels because you have to make choices. So when most people play this, they expect one of the two, and when they find that it's the way it is, they turn away from it because it wasn't to their expectations, or because they're close-minded to how different it is. Some people, on the other hand, accept the change and find it quite refreshing. I like to think of this game as a chapter book, because it has chapters and you're forced to paint a picture in your mind and read it as if it is a book, except everything is pointed towards you and you have to make choices, just like in a visual novel.[/b]
Ein Programm mit wichtigen Entscheidungen. Aber eins muss immer Priorität haben: Die Seuchenbekämpfung durch Medizin :). Welche Seite man dabei wählt, ist irrelevant. Nur normales "Volk" darf nicht zu Schaden kommen :) (ist besser für den Ruf :-D )
