A Plague Among Us

Set in London during the Great Plague of 1665, the game follows poor, elderly women pressed into service as Searchers of the Dead. Players assess the sick and dead, identify plague victims, and enforce quarantines while facing isolation, poverty, punishment, and the constant threat of infection. The game unfolds as a quiet, collaborative exploration of essential work during a pandemic. Players develop their Searchers’ diminishing lives and help create scenes that reveal how disease and isolation restrict hope, relationships, and survival.
