Hello! Just wanted to ask if your commissions page was up to date as it's been liiiike a year and a half since it was posted and might not reflect your current art offerings or prices :3

The plague has come. You cannot save everyone, but you can save at least one.
ok, since i realized not everyone's going to trust a random upload site, here it is on itch. marked as in development :P
Save One in a Dying Town: THE SURGEON
The plague isn't just comingāitās already here. In THE SURGEON, a grim and atmospheric solo RPG, you play as a medical professional trapped in a town ravaged by disease. You know you canāt save everyone. Your goal is much more intimate: keep one person alive until help arrives or the pestilence finally breaks.
Part resource management, part dark journal-building, this game pushes you to balance your dwindling supplies against your own fading energy.
The Doctor is In:
Create Your Surgeon: Roll for unique traits like Analytical, Sleazy, or Religious that grant mechanical bonusesāor burdens.
Choose Your Heart: Are you driven by an Inspiring Heart that fuels your stamina, or the Dark Heart of a cynic who saves tools at the cost of their soul?Ā
Advanced Medical Mechanics: Track the health of five critical areas: Brain, Lungs, Kidneys, Limbs, and Lymph Nodes. Use surgery to save them, but bewareātools break and infection is always a roll away.
Gameplay FeaturesĀ
Tactile Survival: Uses a standard deck of cards, a d6, and tokens to track organ damage on a printable human anatomy sheet.
Strategic Actions: Spend your limited actions each turn to explore the city for supplies, care for your patient, or perform life-saving surgeries.
The Search for a Cure: Gather knowledge from old colleagues or buried family secrets to develop Penicillin and win the game.
Deep Narrative Prompts: Draw cards to trigger memories of your past, encounters with town "witches," or the haunting sound of childrenās nursery rhymes in the street.
Can you weather the storm, or will the exhaustion take you before the plague takes them?Ā

originally made as a submission for 52/52/52 game jam. It was inspired by the cardĀ five of spades which is, apparently, accompanied historically by the image of a hand holding a knife. It means severing... but not just emotional. possibly, also, surgical.
