Overview

The Pellar plunges players into a unique role: a lonely quack doctor in a world steeped in Slavic mythology. This action-adventure game, developed and published by Mimoza Games, tasks you with a crucial, albeit precarious, mission. You must craft medicines, potions, and bandages to aid those in need. Success means survival; failure, however, brings the wrath of an angry peasant mob, armed with pitchforks and torches, to your doorstep. Adding to the pressure is the Curse of the Night, a strict curfew that forces you back to your cabin before midnight.
