The Plague Doctor of Wippra

The game is decent, but it leaves me feeling sad and somewhat unfulfilled. As for the graphics: they are simple—you shouldn't expect a masterpiece. They suit the story being told, and the lack of facial detail actually helps make the whole experience feel a bit more impersonal. The music is very beautiful, but over time, it is also very depressing. I really liked the sounds that were added, which change depending on the situation and the scene. The gameplay is excellent, and the puzzles are very fitting—rarely feeling too far-fetched. That said, there were one or two solutions I wouldn't have come up with myself. The plot is very depressing and, well, grim and bleak—the kind of Middle Ages you’d never want to live in. However, since the protagonist remains somewhat impersonal and distant, it works; given the story's brevity, this approach is entirely appropriate. Personally, I feel the game wouldn't have suffered from a few more cheerful and sweet scenes—or a few more music tracks, for that matter. I found the ending particularly disappointing; despite doing everything right and helping everyone (wherever possible), I died in the end simply because I stood by my convictions. …

Should be longer but still very fun

Good Game.

This feels like a demo. It's a nice concept, but the second it got interesting it ends. Also, I think it's worthwhile to note that the trailer is the whole game.. The puzzles lack flow, and are confusing from their design. The progression is all wonky. All in all, this could have been good, the style and music are both great, but the characters are shallow, the puzzles and story lack good progression, and they build up tension just for it to go nowhere. This is not worth the money, and I'm very glad I got it on sale.

The Plague Doctor of Wippra has a great atmosphere, with melancholic music and charming pixel graphics that fit the story perfectly. The puzzles aren’t particularly complex, so this is more of a point-and-click adventure focused on telling a story rather than challenging you. The main downside is that it’s very short, so keep that in mind before playing. Still, if you enjoy atmospheric, story-driven point-and-click adventures, it’s worth a look.

Very enjoyable story, puzles are not too hard or too easy (didn't need a walkthrough guide). It's very short (almost too short) and runs smoothly, and it's fun to 100%. Very good sound design, music (especially the music) and artwork. Overall 9/10 - Just wish it dwelled a bit more into the story's conflicts, the player choices and their consequences. Ya'know, to cause real dilemmas and suffering for the player ;P
