About the Game

The Year is 1665 and the Great Plague has struck London

Escape the Plague

Travel from city to city as you struggle to escape the grip of the Black Death. Explore the chaotic lands of an England brought to its knees by the Great Plague as you journey north.

Customise and Lead Your Family

Manage every detail of your family, from their work to their hobbies to their medicines. Select activities for each family member based on their background, manage their health, morale and even where you live.

Pay Your Way

On the road, money can be the difference between life and death. With jobs ranging from dangerous grave-digging to comfortable jobs like a parish clerk your life choices are essential. If things get too tight you can always sell your family jewels, or maybe someone else’s.

100s of Random Events

With 100s of randomly generated events the story comes to life, crafting a unique narrative for each player as you navigate a world in crises. Will you be able to live morally while your children starve or give in to your desperation? Experience an authentic world with all new custom artwork accompanying the events helping you to truly inhabit the life of a London refugee.
