THERE IS NO CURE

There Is No Cure is a biopunk, psychological-horror game about growing mutant antibiotics to fight a world ending disease. Shelter survivors, earn their trust, evolve your antibiotic to cure your cast of survivors within a 3 day deadline or die trying. 

ABOUT

Sooner than expected, the last of the permafrost thawed. Within weeks the world was ravaged by an ancient bacteria magnitudes larger than its modern counterpart. It evolves faster, infects faster and kills faster. Every country has fallen, billionaires fled to space, leaving us behind. 

The newly formed World Recovery Company seem to be our only hope against the end of the world. In three days time, groups of at least four healthy survivors who can find a cure will be granted safe passage to space. 

You, a former chemistry professor, have all the equipment, and nothing to lose.

Can you grow a cure strong enough in just three days?

MAIN FEATURES

• Decide who to shelter in your safehouse out of a select cast of characters, each with their own stories to share.
• Engage in dialogue where your choices matter.
• Navigate a retro OS-style GUI to manage your inventory, write notes, monitor the health of your characters and growing your cure.
• Explore a handcrafted enclosed environment and discover its secrets.

• Manage resources (people and material) to fight the spread of infection and effectiveness of your cure.
• Strategize how and when you administer your cure, the disease changes over time and can build resilience against your cure.
• No any two playthroughs can be beaten with the same strategy, the disease evolves differently over time and survivors vary in their stats.
• Time doesn't stop for anyone, you cannot delay the inevitable. This game is designed for you to fail fast and often.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Saving and loading does not work in the demo.
• If the organism in the fermentation tank has died, the fermentation tank UI might not behave as intended. This can be fixed by following the terminal instructions.

If you find any bugs or issues, leave a comment below and we will get around to it ASAP!!!

Planned soon:

• Better signifiers for survivors being sick.
• Improved feedback for curing survivors.
