Reviews
“While it’s a short, compact and competent point and click adventure at face value, The Plague Doctor of Wippra works best between the lines. A thinly veiled examination of the human condition during a health crisis, the game explores how little has really changed since the bubonic plague and the Middle Ages. If you like your adventures games to be deep rather than funny, this one is for you.”

“To conclude, The Plague Doctor of Wippra is a very serious Point & Click, which immerses us perfectly in its universe and its rather dark atmosphere. The small medical side brings a little more to the game, which makes us want to treat each villager.”

“Quite honestly, The Plague Doctor of Wippra gets two thumbs up from me. A little of that is nostalgia – for pixel art adventures, but the Black Death, engaging and powerful storytelling, and sparking that interest in learning about the history that… plagues this tale. I couldn’t help myself. Do yourself a favour, check this out, and say Vulgar Knight sent you.”
