Story description
A rural veterinary practice, a waiting room full of animals and clients who think you are too young to run it.
The Village Vet is an interactive slice-of-life story about taking over a country practice in a farming village, one season at a time.
A country practice
- Run morning surgery, farm rounds, vaccinations and the odd midnight lambing.
- Earn the trust of owners and farmers who knew the last vet for forty years.
- Learn the village, its animals and the quiet reward of being trusted with someone's pet.
Dr. Brennan is retiring and still answering the phone. Pip is the nurse who knows every animal in the parish. Tomas is a sheep farmer who is testing you. Pickle, the practice cat, is in charge. Everyone else is different every time you play.
Warm, funny and tender
Wellington boots, tea and wet dogs, with illness and loss handled gently. No plot, no villain.
A lamb will not feed and a farmer is watching. What do you do first?
Characters
The practice cat, who lives behind the reception desk and has opinions.
The retiring vet, seventy-one. Brisk, dry and unwilling to stop answering the phone.
The veterinary nurse. Cheerful, unflappable and knows every animal in the parish by name.
