101 patiens died at day 1 (lol).
Before this I didn’t know that behind the routine of a doctor there could be real genocide.
Amazing and funny art, reminds me of the times of flash player.
i'd like to play solitaire while working

interesting idea - I would like it if I could work with occupied rooms... maybe send some to the waiting list or I don't know...

I'm glad that I don't have to live in America because of the healthcare :D

good entry

Interesting game

I live the humour and mood

The gameplay is simple and efficient

Yet I feel it would be useful to have more information to be able to make better decisions

Like what's the minimum coverage needed for such or such disease or injury

And what are the stats for survival for such decision

Or how much time is needed for them to heal, how much time can they stay in the wait list, and what are the associated reputation drop if they die on my watch

Also the notifications mechanic on the left-hand side is neat,

But it would be even better if they stacked downwards, 'cause currently it's pretty common mid-game to have several notifications arriving at the same time and they hide each other

Maybe more stats on the UI would be more useful in this respect

Then again there's no remaking Theme Hospital in 72 hours, that's understood ;-)

Nice experience, thanks for making it happen :grinning: :sparkles:

Side note --- you have until the end of the day to play lots of games to have your 20 ratings

Good luck! :muscle:
