1348 Ex Voto

1348 Ex Voto is a cinematic adventure in Italy during the plague. The action takes place in the middle of the fourteenth century. Monks and soldiers meet along the way. An epidemic wipes out entire villages, and the survivors stick together. Mercenaries act prudently and know how to keep their distance. The blade gets stuck in the bone if you hit it indiscriminately. The racks are switched with one click. The country is in the grip of a deadly epidemic, and the roads are full of desperate people. The hero makes his way through plague-ridden cities and monasteries. The blade requires precise selection of distance. Cameras follow the hero in narrow corridors. Cloudy skies and dirt underfoot create the right tone. Costumes and armor are recreated from museum samples. The hero moves around the country with a small group. The fights are based on the principles of historical European fencing. Each attack requires calculation and timing. Opponents vary in training: from crazy fanatics to experienced mercenaries. A mistake in a fight costs your life. Gloomy villages serve as transit points. Each fight begins with assessing the enemy and choosing a stance. Religious fanatics fight furiously and do not retreat. Priests and healers are trying to help the suffering. The atmosphere is set by gloomy landscapes and church singing. The story is told through close-ups and long passages. Scenes of staged battles look like episodes from a historical movie. A wounded hero loses the power of the blow. The silence before a fight builds tension. Swords and daggers differ in speed and damage. The interface is minimalistic so as not to interfere with immersion. Road meetings can be more dangerous than open combat. For those who love gritty medieval dramas, this game is perfect. Historical details are recreated from sources. Contractions in narrow passages require caution and endurance. The city's alleys smell of smoke and burning.
