About The Mercury Man

✦ AI summary

Hunt down mutated mercury people across a grim sci-fi Mars in this isometric action-adventure set in a dystopian future where a life-saving blood replacement procedure spiraled into humanity's downfall. Experience a darkly humorous, narrative-driven journey through hand-drawn environments as you confront the consequences of your past as a government hunter in a world divided between the privileged elite and the mutated masses.

The Mercury Man is an isometric game in the action genre with some adventure elements. It is set in the far grim dark future of its unique sci-fi world.

In the year 2310 people on Earth discovered a new way to cure all deadly diseases. By 2315 the technology reached Russia. The point of this medical procedure was to replace patient’s blood with mercury. In the first years only the richest could afford it, but сlandestine clinics that provided blood replacement services for little money gradually emerged. At the same time, the number of ordinary people who contracted incurable diseases grew bigger and bigger and the mercury treatment no longer helped them. Soon it became clear that being around «mercuries», that’s how people who passed the transfusion were called, is dangerous. As a result, the world government introduced a complete ban on mercury operations, special police units of hunters were created, who sought out and eliminated mercury people. But the politicians and the rich continued to carry out transfusions. In the end, all this led to civil riots.

The law enforcement sided with people and all mercuries were gathered and sent off to Mars. Earth was ruled by the police government. Mars was divided into two zones - the outer zone, to where the poor who had procedures in the сlandestine clinics were sent, and the inner zone where former cream of society lived. Since the inner zone was organized by the politicians themselves and not policemen, it was heavily guarded against any intrusion attempts, and it was possible to get there only for a huge amount of money after passing the loyalty test. If less than a month had passed since the transfusion, mercuries were sent to the outer zone. If more than a month had passed, then mercuries were accused of concealing their status and were liquidated. Substandard procedures and lack of normal air on Mars led to the fact that people began to mutate in the outer zone and turned into horrible monsters. Nevertheless, the mercuries who were caught on Earth by hunters were sent there. You were one of those hunters…

Gameplay is ass, dialogues feel immature(or badly translated).

В отличие от «Подземного человека», градус абсурдного юмора здесь заметно снизили, зато завезли интересный сюжет (даже создаётся ощущение нелинейности и реального выбора). Правда, диалоги местами могут немного утомлять. Боёвка и перемещение между локациями явно могли бы быть и получше, но в целом - на пару вечеров сойдёт.

The Mercury Man, developed and published by Mehsoft, is a dystopian isometric action-adventure that blends science fiction worldbuilding with top-down combat and light RPG elements. Set in a bleak future shaped by a failed medical revolution, the game builds its identity around an unusual and unsettling premise: humanity once believed it had eradicated disease by replacing human blood with mercury. What began as a miraculous breakthrough quickly spiraled into catastrophe, resulting in mutation, social collapse, and political segregation. This narrative foundation gives the game a distinctive thematic edge, anchoring its action in a world defined by scientific hubris and moral compromise. You take on the role of a mercury hunter, one of the few individuals tasked with tracking and eliminating those transformed by the failed mercury transfusions. Society has fractured into zones, with the wealthy and politically powerful residing in protected inner sectors while mutated exiles roam the harsh outer territories. Much of the story unfolds through dialogue exchanges, environmental clues, and interactions with non-playable characters scattered throughout this divided world. The setting f…

The story is fine, makes you want to go to the end. Nice synthwave music. The shooting is lame. You cannot change the controls in settings Not compatible with controllers.

Oh man this game is so bad that it deserves a special award! Where to start... Oh the dialogues... The incredibly boring driving mechanics. The gunplay?! oh dear gods.

Умеете же, могёте. Шедевром не назову, но хорошая игра получилась. В высшей мере уважаемо.
