The Plague Doctor of Wippra is clearly a bleak, gamified examination of a dark period in human history; what makes it bleaker is its illumination on just how little has changed. Despite our modren comforts and conveniences, human behavior under duress seems to remain constant.

Critic reviews
- Although the game’s relative brevity and linearity mean Wippra is not a town to explore and become fully involved in, The Plague Doctor of Wippra is still a fun adventure with effective use of historical and medical detail in its puzzles.
- 8.0The Plague Doctor of Wippra works best between the lines. A thinly veiled examination of the human condition during a health crisis, the game explores how little has really changed since the bubonic plague and the Middle Ages.
- 7.0The Plague Doctor of Wippra es, sin duda, un título diferente, cuyo acercamiento a la ficción histórica se sale de los cánones videojueguiles (en la línea de Ambition: A Minuet in Power) para tomar lo más interesante de la novela histórica: la fascinación por un periodo concreto y por las diferentes líneas de pensamiento que lo formaron.
