Gameplay[]

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.

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]
