Do No Harm

Eldritch Medicine and Unseen Horrors

In 'Do No Harm', the player becomes a vessel of dread, a doctor in a forgotten village where every diagnosis is a whisper in the dark. The core mechanics revolve around the delicate art of diagnosis and treatment, each decision a thread in the tapestry of madness that surrounds you. The Book of Medicine, an ancient grimoire, becomes both guide and tormentor, offering cryptic insights into the maladies that plague your patients.

Atmosphere of Tension and Unease

The atmosphere in 'Do No Harm' is a testament to Hawthorn Games' mastery of the unseen. Nightmarish entities claw at the edges of your vision, warping reality and leaving you adrift in a sea of uncertainty. This pervasive unease is heightened by the game's first-person perspective and immersive sound design.

Narrative Ambiguity and Existential Horror

The narrative unfolds like a fever dream, a labyrinthine tale of cosmic horror and moral ambiguity. The proxy war between Azathoth and Cthulhu weaves an eerie backdrop for every medical interaction. Multiple endings allow players to shape their own descent.

Exploration vs. Dread

Exploration is as psychological as it is physical. The game's point-and-click design pushes players to probe every corner of the clinic and surrounding village, but each revelation deepens the dread and fragility of your sanity.

The Price of Sanity

Sanity mechanics impact vision, dialogue, and outcomes. Certain truths can only be revealed by losing control—but at a price. It’s a game that asks what it means to 'do no harm' when even knowledge can corrupt.
