The Unluckiest Man

The Unluckiest Man is a short narrative game with light puzzles. You play as Dragomir, a widower whose wife, Catrina, has died after a long illness caused by tuberculosis. Broke and without help, he must prepare her funeral.

Explore the town

In first person, you explore Dragomir’s dilapidated house and a Romanian fishing town, trying to make sense of the situation. You can talk to townsfolk to see whether they will help or show compassion, and read a newspaper filled with city gossip.

Find clues and solve puzzles

You find keys and other items and solve light puzzles to progress the story. Notes scattered around reveal more about Dragomir’s past and hint at his future. Your inventory holds collected items, notes and newspaper articles. The game features Romanian voice acting with English subtitles.
