A lone doctor returns to a city ravaged by a deadly plague, venturing from a safe farm refuge through regions gripped by escalating infection. Rescue survivors along the way and decide to recruit them as companions or assign them to farm jobs that unlock new abilities. Farm growth hinges on smart survivor placement, balancing their skills between labor roles and expedition support.
Fight plague-spawned horrors in grid-based, turn-based combat across four procedurally generated regions with detailed 2D art. Strategy and RPG elements drive survival as you navigate richly narrated stages. Indie adventure fans who enjoy tactical choices and resource management will find a focused challenge here.
Set around a city being consumed from within by a disease, Plague Road tells a story of a lone doctor who once abandoned their home and now returns to learn the fate of those they left behind. Travel from the safe refuge of your farm through a series of regions progressively more affected by the infernal plague.
On the road, rescue survivors and choose whether to use them as traveling companions or to improve the Doctor's farm and gain access to new abilities. How your farm progresses depends upon where you assign survivors to work.
Some survivor types are more valuable in certain jobs, but may be more useful still if kept available for expeditions. Surviving the road will rely on your ability to fight horrors created by the plague, in combat encounters featuring grid-based positioning and turn-based strategy mechanics.
Traverse four regions with procedurally generated stages, featuring richly illustrated 2D art, music from award-winning composer Sean Beeson and narration performed by Jim Sterling.
