Wunderdoktor is a puzzle-adventure game developed by Ghostbutter and released in 2017 for PC, Mac, and Linux. Players take on the role of a traveling doctor who diagnoses and treats a series of strange, fantastical ailments, navigating an eccentric world populated by beaked potion sellers, quacks, and supernatural figures. The work involves collecting unusual ingredients — including berry pimples and kobold eggs — and devising remedies for conditions such as arachnocough and various ghostly maladies. More unconventional tasks include extracting material from clams found growing on sharks. A stone gargoyle serves as the player's medical assistant throughout. The game leans heavily into absurdist folk-medicine imagery, blending inventory-based puzzle solving with a quirky, hand-crafted aesthetic. Its compact scope and offbeat sensibility place it firmly in the indie tradition of strange, character-driven adventure games.
