Gothic 1881

Gothic 1881 is a short narrative adventure set in autumn 1881. As a young doctor sent by the Imperial Office of Disease, you investigate the source of a mysterious epidemic spreading across the country from the village of Rabenfels, deep in the Thuringian forests. As villagers fall ill and die, you uncover the village’s secrets and its inhabitants’ hidden desires, and look beyond the veil of reality.

Count Mergul lives above the village, while his disreputable sister has withdrawn into the dark woods. Villagers say the Count is conducting secret experiments and that his family has cast a dark shadow over Rabenfels for generations. You investigate whether either of them is connected to the disease, in a village where nothing is as it seems.
