A game of survival.
While it’s important to eat from now and then, the game primarily tracks your health which is represented by infections, sickness and injury inflicting your characters.
In the Middle Ages, it was common to die as a result of neglected an illness for too long. This is also the case in Tales of the Black Death.
A game of morality.
In addition to managing your health, injuries, malaise and infections, the game establishes its own morality landscape where the player has to make difficult choices.
Many of the choices you make will impact the story or the characters around you. Lie, cheat, betray others or follow the path of righteousness...it’s all up to you.
Beware how you play: Indulging in iniquities will diminish your morality and could lead to the loss of your soul.
