A tense, gloomy medieval plague management sim where you balance curing villagers against the constant threat of your own infection, with permadeath and hand-drawn visuals.

What players say
Players say Pestis is a very short game, often finished in under two hours, built around a repetitive loop of collecting herbs and stomping rats. Reviews uniformly call it overpriced at its current asking price, and several accuse the developer of asset-flipping.
