"1841: Shirinsky takes place in a fictionnal universe inspired by 19th century's Siberia. You play as a doctor evolving in a city ravaged by the Great Mining Plague looking for a cure."

"Back in its golden age, Shirinsky was a powerful city known for mining. Digging ever deeper in the mountain, miners discovered a strange red ore wich released new types of diseases, creating the Great Mining Plague. Quickly, scientists realized that infected people's blood, when refined, enabled to create an incredible fuel.  Since, the "Hive", old miners district, is under lockdown and secretly exploited by an antagonist corporation, to let the plague spread, in order to harvest infected blood.
