About Light in the Dark, from BoardGameGeek:

In Light in the Dark, you are a plague doctor on a mission to heal a region from the plague while fighting monsters and bandits. Complete quests and gain powerful abilities to overcome increasingly difficult challenges. Welcome to Light in the Dark, the solo dungeon crawler board game where you take on the role of a courageous plague doctor, on a quest to heal a region afflicted by the deadly plague. The journey ahead won't be easy, as you'll face fierce monsters and dangerous bandits who are determined to stop you. You'll need to use all of your skills and resources to complete challenging quests that will put your strategic thinking to the test. Whether it's finding a rare herb or curing the sick, each task will bring its own unique set of obstacles and rewards. As you progress through the game, you'll level up your skills that will help you overcome even the toughest challenges. But beware, as the stakes get higher, so do the risks. Stay vigilant and keep your wits about you as you venture deeper into the darkness. -description from the publisher
