Gameplay[]

Quarantine Circular is a conversation-based adventure game, presented in a three-dimensional, third-person perspective. The player controls a variety of characters who make decisions to resolve the situation. Options are limited depending on the character, reflecting their preconceptions.

Synopsis[]

In the wake of an epidemic that is threatening the human race, an alien is found, captured, and kept in quarantine until the world organization dedicated to containing the rampant disease — the IDCF (or International Disease Containment Fleet) — can communicate with the alien and find out why it is here. The choices made will dictate how the story unfolds.[1]

Development and release[]

Quarantine Circular was developed by Mike Bithell Games for Windows PC and Macintosh. It was later ported to Nintendo Switch.

Reception[]

Quarantine Circular was received positively by professional critics.[1][2][3]

The game was criticized by Videogamer reviewer Alice Bell for being less focused than the previous game Subsurface Circular[2] and for having simpler puzzles by Dualshockers reviewer Micahel Ruiz.[1] Reviewer Jason Coles, writing for The Digital Fix, praised the game as being "brilliantly written" that is "at times charming, upsetting and inspiring", awarding the game 10/10.[3]
