Paws of Coal

Ohh no, i hope you feel better soon! ):

@LordDarias I'll add it right now, thank you! :D

@moschiade Each day that passes I feel a little better, so hopefully I can fully recover soon. Thank you so much for the kind words, it helps a lot :)))))

Dishonored and its rat plague feels like it fits

@tangysphere Added, thank you for the suggestion! :)

Far cry 2 protagonist has malaria.

Disco Elysium kinda? Your character is an alcoholic and you can play him as recovering.

Hyper Light Drifter
Blaster Master Zero 2
Astral Chain

@Jackier I think both games fit perfectly from what you've described, thank you so much! I'll add them right now :)

@DeltaWDunn I'll add all there right away, thank you for the entries :D

Eternal Sonata - The entire narrative is based around Frederick Francois Chopin's fever dream when dying of tuberculosis.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best example I can think of of this.

Also GET WELL SOON BUDDY!

@FallenGrace You just re-ignited a long forgotten memory there. I still cannot comprehend how that premise was made into a videogame, but it's certainly unique. Thank you for the suggestion! :D

@cowboyjosh I'll add it in a moment, and thank you so much for the kind words, I truly appreciate it :D

Nier Replicant

Wishing you a fast recovery!

@Penumbra To the list it goes, and thank you so much! Today I'm feeling far better than the past there days, so hopefully it's a good sign.

Might be a bit of a stretch but in a short hike claires mom is undergoing a surgery/is implied to be sick and thats very relevant to her journey up the mountain

The Division (and the Division 2) is about a major sickness that grips the USA, leading to large numbers of casualties, quarantine zones, etc.

Feel better soon!

Oh, and Parasite Eve (and Parasite Eve 2, probably?) could also fit here, I think? It is about mitochondria that take over the body of the host.

There are also the Walking Dead games, but then I suppose you could add pretty much any game with zombies...

@moschidae I think it fits in the list, while the illness itself isn't the center of the plot, it is important for both Claire's motivation and her relationship with her. To the list it goes, thank you! :D

@Corrugated_Fox I think they all warrant to be here perfectly! I didn't even know that The Division was about a plague, but I didn't know much about the game in the first place, so it makes sense... Thank you for all of the adittions and the kind words! I feel far better than the past there years, so I really hope I can be back as always soon! :)
