My second Choice of Games title. Personally I enjoyed this one slightly more than Choice of Robots.

Entirely text based, you are a doctor sent to a town to stop a new plague. You have stats and relationships (business and romantic) throughout your story. Incredibly detailed story, fleshed out characters, and a wide array of elaborate endings. The story is broken down into 12 chapters; it is a long read. There are a few points that happen regardless but your actions (and stats) will significantly change the outcome of the story.

There's tons of replay value. I wish there was an option to manually save but I don't believe the developers do that for any of these games.

My only negative is trying to view all the different outcomes for achievements. The author, Peter Parrish, made a couple achievements too precise to unlock. I had difficulty replaying the story over and over with different choices to no avail. Thankfully Parrish is active on the official Choice of Games forums and was super cool to give players hints that were stumped, like me. They apologized that those paths were too narrow and specific to follow. They said they have learned from this (I believe this is their first story with CoG). I'm looking forward to their next story that's in progress.
