I wish I had played this game before 2020 so I could've made a list of all my loved ones with a black and white portrait of them during the pandemic with the caption "Whatever happens, these people must live. Their fates are bound to mine"

>put my whole pussy into avoiding infection, mapping out my routes and everything
>game spawns 3 sentient plague clouds headed my way after leaving a building

What are some other games with fully realized settings where you can hear about the local urban legends, intergenerational drama between the families and the people's struggles?

Is living in the Russian countryside really like this in game?
