Inspired by games like Papers, Please, and Strange Horticulture — Do No Harm puts you in the role of a 19th-century doctor who must diagnose and treat patients using the limited, often questionable, medical knowledge of the time.
The gameplay revolves around patients coming to you with unsettling symptoms—some they’ll describe, while others you’ll notice visually or diagnose using tools. You’ll consult your Book of Medicine, which offers hints and narrows down potential treatments, but ultimately, you’ll need to experiment with different medicines to see what works. Sometimes, your patients get cured; other times… they don’t make it.
All the while, a Lovecraftian story unfolds in the background, mixed with eerie Anomalies and Sanity management elements.
As the days pass, the doctor discovers that the village harbors layers of deceit. While most residents live ordinary lives, a shadowy cult worshiping the Great Old One manipulates events to ensure that once in a Red Moon ritual succeeds.
Caught in this cosmic struggle, Doctor Herbert (you) must navigate the conflicting agendas of the cult, the witch, the villagers, and the eldritch horrors. Every decision — whether to trust, resist, or manipulate — brings the doctor closer to uncovering the island’s secrets.
In Do No Harm, survival hinges on the player’s ability to balance medicine, deduction, and their fraying sanity while facing the ultimate choice—to heal, to harm, or to flee.
