Is it still worth playing?

You pick one of three healers, the Bachelor, the Haruspex or the Devotress, in this 2005 survival game from Russia, released in English in 2006. Only the first two are available at the start, and the third is unlocked by finishing the game with either of them. Each has their own quests, and the other healers appear in town during each story. The goal is to survive twelve in-game days in a perpetual world. Characters give quests each day, the game goes on whether or not they are completed, and at midnight the quests are erased from the notebook. Main missions are one per day. A game that moves on whether or not a player keeps up is still worth meeting today.
