Save Us, Doctor Faust! is an immersive medieval doctor simulator where you diagnose diseases, study medicine, and craft remedies from raw ingredients. Examine your patients, grind and distill ingredients, experiment with recipes — and remember: one mistake could cost a life.
SAVE US, DOCTOR FAUST! Become a medieval doctor in a city ravaged by disease, war, and desperation.
In Save Us, Doctor Faust! , there are no quest markers telling you what to do, no glowing ingredients, and no magic button that instantly solves every medical problem.
You must learn, observe, experiment, and make your own decisions .
Study diseases in your medical textbook. Examine your patients. Prepare medicines by hand. Manage scarce resources. And remember: a mistake in the laboratory can cost someone their life.
LEARN MEDICINE. YOURSELF. Your medical textbook is your most important tool.
Study diseases, symptoms, treatments, and medicinal ingredients. Take notes directly on its pages with a pencil. Write down your discoveries, useful combinations, symptoms, and anything else you think might help you survive as a doctor.
But the game will not hold your hand.
There are no automatic diagnoses. No objective markers telling you which medicine to create. No convenient list of ingredients that magically solves every problem.
If you want to become a better doctor, you have to study.
Read. Observe. Remember.
Your knowledge is your greatest tool.
PREPARE MEDICINE BY HAND Medicine is not created by simply clicking a recipe.
Raw ingredients must be carefully processed before they can become useful.
Grind herbs, minerals, and other substances in a mortar and pestle. Prepare your ingredients and turn them into the components needed for more complex remedies.
The way you process your ingredients matters.
A careless doctor can waste precious resources — or create something that harms the patient instead of helping them.
DISTILL. EXTRACT. TRANSFORM. Some ingredients cannot simply be mixed together.
Use a still to distill alcohol, create liquid substrates, and prepare emulsions. Carefully transform raw materials into new medicinal components.
The process of creating a medicine is just as important as the ingredients themselves.
Experiment with different methods, discover new possibilities, and learn how different substances can be combined.
MIX WITH PRECISION Some combinations require more than simply pouring ingredients into the same container.
Use a centrifuge to mix and enhance your compounds. Turn the handle yourself and control the process as you prepare your medicine.
Every remedy is the result of knowledge, preparation, and careful experimentation.
And if you get it wrong...
Your patient may pay the price.
DIAGNOSE YOUR PATIENTS Every patient is different.
Start by asking questions. Listen carefully to their complaints and symptoms. Their answers may reveal important clues — or mislead you.
Then examine their body.
Look for visible signs of disease. Compare what you see with what you have learned. Combine the information from the interview and the examination to determine what is truly wrong.
There is no magic diagnosis button.
You are the doctor.
EVERY LIFE HAS A PRICE The city is under siege.
Disease is spreading. Resources are limited. Medicine is expensive. And there are more people who need help than you can possibly save.
You will have to decide how to spend your money and ingredients.
Treat a sick child who cannot afford the medicine?
Or save a wealthy nobleman who can pay enough to keep your clinic running?
What if the nobleman is cruel? What if the child's treatment requires ingredients that could save several other patients?
There are no easy answers.
Every decision has a cost.
A CITY THAT REMEMBERS YOUR CHOICES Your actions will shape the fate of the city.
The war raging beyond its walls may seem distant, but your work as a doctor can influence what happens outside your clinic.
Treat the right people. Make the right choices. Keep the city alive.
Your actions can change the balance of power and even alter the course of the war.
MANAGE WHAT YOU HAVE Money and ingredients are limited.
Buy what you need. Plan ahead. Decide which medicines are worth preparing and which resources you can afford to spend.
Grow some of your own medicinal plants and cultivate valuable ingredients yourself.
But you will never have enough for everyone.
Who will you save?
NO TWO DOCTORS WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY Will you become a careful scholar who studies every disease before treating a patient?
A resourceful alchemist who experiments with strange combinations?
A ruthless businessman who treats those who can pay?
Or a doctor who tries to save everyone — no matter the cost?
The city is in your hands.
Study. Diagnose. Experiment. Decide.
