About

Pestilence is a vertical slice of a first person stealth game. It was made as the final project of a M.A. in Game Design at U-TAD.

Embody the Lord of the Pestilence, a fallen God that still has some tricks up his sleeve. Possess the citizens of Trumana and use them as your disguise... or consume their bodies to use powerful abilities. Infiltrate the city and take revenge against those who took your powers!
