Dancing Plague

This game was based on real life events
The Kingdom of France in the early modern period of 1518 went through a mysterious deadly plague that made the city folks dance until they die. Creepy yet unsettling this is the story of our main character and his tale through the happenings of this historical tragedy.

Extras
If you enjoy some historical real facts with a mix of creepy, unrelenting madness, then this game engages a topic that infuses what happened in 1518 with the creation of fictional reasoning that we create in our minds to explain what happened. Why did people die while dancing? Our lack of understanding tries to find a reason for it and can only imagine a demonic possession of some sort. This game will use that fear and unease to make the player question if dancing is truly happy or if it is a possessed act that needs to be exorcised.
This is the story about a plague that is very uncanny and underrated for all the lovers of creepy stuff , it deals with serious themes like mass histery , death and poverty, I highly advice if you are interested to check or read about this plague on the internet, if not just play and enjoy the game. This is also the 1 of a 3 part game if people enjoy it ,might make all of them . Thanks for the support and stay safe.

Thank you so much for playing! in case you didnt notice there was a health bar that required you eating to not die and the dancing folks to get away ahah , if you kept moving to the left in the market you could crouch to leave the market through the walls.
