This - coupled with the developer being practically unknown outside Russia - resulted in poor sales. Sadly, the English translation was, on release, absolutely incomprehensible. The game received many good reviews praising its atmosphere and picked up dozens of awards in its native country. Other than them, there are loads and loads of other characters, all somehow related to the story. There are three main dynasties in the game, all in some way fighting against each other for the control of the town. Stranded without her memories, she nevertheless performs her deeds in the certainty they will benefit something. She is able to either heal a person or utterly destroy them with a gesture of her hands. Many believe she is either a saint or a steppe demon who brought the plague in the first place. The third storyline is that of Clara, the Changeling with an unclear past. Burakh must covertly investigate the cause of the plague, as he tends to attract violent mobs whenever he moves out in the open. However, people believe that he killed his father, so everyone is hostile to him. His father shared his profession and lived in the town, but died recently, and he called on his son to take his place.
He is one of very few people allowed the knowledge and right to cut open dead human bodies. The second storyline is that of a Haruspex, Artemy Burakh (pronounced "ahr-TYEH-mee BOO-rakh", with the "kh" sound like the "ch" in Bach or loch). Following this, Dankovsky finds himself strong-armed by the local aristocrats into using his skills and equipment to research the plague, and he quickly becomes buried in their intrigues. He takes it upon himself to investigate the old man's death and find his murderer, but as he does so, he also uncovers evidence of the brewing epidemic. However, the man dies before he gets a chance to meet with him - not of old age, but by the hands of an unknown culprit. He was invited to the town to scientifically establish that one of the residents is over two hundred years old. The first storyline is that of a young Bachelor of Medicine, Daniil Dankovsky.
