Omen Exitio Plague

Omen Exitio: Plague is a Lovecraftian tale told in the style of the choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks that filled the 1980s and 90s. You play a military doctor charged with investigating a plague poised to wipe out all of humankind, one whose origins may be anything but natural. It is a desperate contest against time and reason that strains your sanity to breaking.

The year is 1896 and the place is Zanzibar. You play Dr. Jake Huntington, newly signed into the army and trying to forget the death of his wife, Helen, when an ancient evil overturns his life. Every clue points the same way: a terrifying plague stands ready to exterminate humanity. To understand and stop it, you venture into the shadows at the edge of the human mind, unraveling intrigues and machinations, all while one question gnaws at you: is something truly supernatural at work, or are you simply losing your mind?

Your choices steer how events play out, with multiple ways past every obstacle and consequences for each decision. An RPG-style character sheet lets you develop your doctor in countless directions, shaping different endings. The original story runs over 140,000 words, with more than 300 hand-drawn images and original music crafted to make you feel inside an H.P. Lovecraft tale. No choice is simply right or wrong, and death here is purely a story beat rather than a defeat screen, while some consequences may prove worse than death itself.
