About:
As the doctor of a small medieval town, you have 7 days to cure the townsfolk of a deadly disease. At dawn, create remedies to cure the townsfolks' symptoms. Spend the day examining the townsfolk for visible symptoms and ask them questions to learn about mental symptoms. At dusk, take the opportunity to dissect the corpses of the infected for hidden internal symptoms which could give you clues to finally curing the disease.
Gameplay Clarifications:
There are 9 Symptoms with 3 Categories: Surface, Mental, Internal. Each townsfolk will start with one random Surface or Mental Symptom. One townsfolk starts with the Disease. The Disease causes one of each Category of Symptom, and will give the infected townsfolk one of its Symptoms each day. At +50% Severity, each Disease Symptom can infect another townsfolk. Your Remedy needs all 3 Ingredients that treat each of these Symptoms to cure the Disease. Treating the Symptoms individually won't cure the Disease. All Symptoms kill the townsfolk at 100% Severity, even if it isn't from the Disease. You can only find Internal Symptoms by dissecting dead townsfolk, so wait for them to die, sacrifice them, or try to guess the Symptom.
