About the Game

Applied Shamanism is a cozy 3D game about a beginner rabbit shaman in a world of anthropomorphic animals who suffer from all kinds of illnesses and can only be cured by a shaman.

Beyond treating patients, you’ll live a simple village routine: gather and grow ingredients, and untangle mysterious diseases caused by imbalances in the residents’ lives and the motives of guardian spirits.

Key Features

  • X-ray style shamanic vision diagnosis, where each organ or symptom is a separate interactive object.

  • Cozy routine: collecting and growing ingredients. Each garden bed is tied to a specific element.

  • Each patient is a standalone level and a detective story.

  • Symptom-finding and treatment mini-games with that “satisfying mobile game” feel.

  • Crafting always succeeds: the potions you make are always useful.

  • Symptoms and diseases inspired by real medical practice, seasoned with esotericism.

  • Serene visuals with color grading, nostalgically echoing a distant childhood.

Who It’s For

  • Cozy players tired of stress: no time pressure, no damage, no failure, just a methodical, steady, responsive, and predictable daily-life routine.

  • Potion brewers and explorers: you’ll discover connections between where you plant seeds and what you water them with to create the potion you need.

  • Fans of psychosomatics and folk medicine: you’ll find “magical” answers to why everyday ailments appear.

  • People from cultures with shamanic traditions: you’ll recognize familiar cosmological foundations and see how other entities live and what drives them.

Note

In-game “medicine” is magic and metaphor, not medical advice.
