About the developer
Electrocosmos is the studio of solo developer Alexander Leps. Alexander discovered his passion for game development when he was 7 years old – he drew levels on sheets of paper and made a shoot-’em-up scroller for typewriter. Alexander began working in the games industry in 2009. In 2017 he released his debut title Runic Rampage. The casual hack-and-slash was very positively received.
The Plague Doctor of Wippra took shape during the $105 Adventure Game Challenge. The jam submission was praised for its graphics and historical yet contemporary setting. Alexander decided to develop it into a full game to give the story the depth it deserves.
