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.

Release

Quarantine Circular was developed by Mike Bithell Games and released for Microsoft Windows and macOS through Steam. It was released on Nintendo Switch on 8 December, 2018. Unlike its predecessor, it was not released on iOS.
