The Pellar

The Pellar is an action-adventure game in which you play a lonely quack doctor in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. You gather ingredients, prepare medicines, potions and bandages, and treat people with a range of ailments. The game includes 20 different diseases, numerous NPCs and a story of its own.

Explore the world

Travel through a vast, cohesive world with metroidvania mechanics to search for ingredients and uncover secrets. What you learn about the world can lead you to useful items and interesting NPCs, each with their own stories and themes. The world has changing weather and a day-and-night cycle.

Treat the sick

Gain ancient knowledge about plants and diseases, then help people who ask for your care. Do your work well and locals may reward you with gold and show gratitude and respect. If you fail to save even one person, an angry mob of peasants may gather outside your house with pitchforks and torches.

Manage your time

You are under the Curse of the Night and must return to your cabin before midnight. Plan each trip into the forest carefully: find new paths, create trails and make your journeys more efficient while time works against you. Resource and time management are part of the game, alongside a crafting system.

Face the dangers

You are no warrior, but some inhabitants of this land respond only to force. Find new items and tools to expand your abilities, fight numerous monsters and destroy their nests.
