Good atmosphere, Good game play if not a little confusing def worth a play

The game is a fantastic premise and the puzzles are really engaging - On Classic mode. Unfortunately chill mode is extremely boring. Though the game said it just removed the timer (this is what I wanted) - it also removes ALL of the difficulty. This means all interesting parts of the game are stripped out, including all of the eldritch symptoms that are the core of the game story. I even got the exact same medical puzzle five times before giving up on my run. Classic mode's timer ruins the game for me, as the stress is just too much. I'm glad I have my partner to play for me so I can still enjoy the game.

If you want hand-holding and clear call-outs on what to click then this is not the game for you. You'll be doing a lot of educated guessing and adapting.

ATM its not perfectly consistent with how you treat. But I am hopeful that with updates this game will be of a standard comparable to other "paper work sims". For now though it does get an upvote for its unique premise and ideas though Ideally I'd give it a neutral vote.

The macabre graphics, multiple routes/quests and the eldritch theme makes for an interesting game! (Humor wheel still confuses me now and then lmao). It's fun when eventually you learn to diagnose people without needing to rely on the book too.

As someone who adores the works of Lovecraft, and loves games of this style. This is a match made in R'lyeh for me, and I have had so much fun already! Though I would personally change the typeface used for the speech bubbles, as the exclamation mark looks way too much like a lowercase l. All in all, it's a solid game, highly recommended!

God this game is tedious. And the humor wheel is the worst game mechanic I've seen in awhile. Don't waste your money. The gameplay is just a worse version of 'My Lovely Daughter.'

Overal. I really love the game, atmosphere and mechanics BUT, they messed up the daily timer so much. Even with the addition of the 'chill mode'. When you start this game up, immediately on day 1 the clock starts ticking before you even properly had the chance to read through the instructions, there's a daily newspaper you can have a look at while your first patient is already knocking on the door. Could be me, as a non-native speaker who needs a liiiittle bit more time to soak everything in, but I feel punished for it. Now the choice is either 'chill mode', which i feel takes away all the timepressure and the real tension of the game or the 'classic mode' which is just too stressful. At least don't have the counter slow down at times when your patients and or leave the room or something or only count seconds when you actually flip a page in stead of just reading it. i'd still say the overal experience is positive though, but it won't make me do another playthrough

A simple game in setup, but the rules get more and more complicated over time. Some mechanics are badly explained though... So there's lots of trial and error to know what the game mechanics actually meant. Which can be a bit frustrating to the player. The devs seem to have noticed and are working on it. I would have liked a bit more "spooky", not jumpscares but there was a lady at the start that split in two (don't worry it's not a spoiler) so I was looking forward to some mayor eldrich, lovecraft, c'thulu stuff.... but it never really came. just some hallucinations to 'drink away'. But that seemed to be it. However it is a fun game to play and you do need to pay attention to your clients, what they say and what is going on in the newspaper. Together with some "strange figures" that come to visit you. The moral choices are also very interesting as you can just please everyone that walks into your office. All in all I give it a thumbs up, great game and I do want to see more of it and/or see how it develops further.

This game is mostly math and logic disguised as lovecraftian horror doctor play. Now, I like that, so I can wholeheartedly recommend it, but if numbers such as 5 (or -5, the highest and lowest truly relevant numbers that may appear in the actual math) and divisions by 2, 3 and 4 are too much for you, then you may want to steer clear. You may also have to look at a circle sometimes and make boolean decisions. If that has not deterred you yet, this game may just be for you. To sum up the game, you are repeatedly confronted with a random number between ]-3; +3[ and your general goal is to bring that number to +3 (unless you have some story or achievement related reason to get it to -3). In order to do that, you are given four different variables that you may fill with numbers between 1-9 (not a number in the actual math mentioned above); later in the game, you may even need to fill several variables at the same time (it is called "mixing"). Then you try out the effect on an invisible function to see if you get the initial random number to +3 - of course, you are given plenty of hints as to how the desired result of that function may be. If the result was good, you can just repeat the process using the same values for your variables until the random number is +3 (the closest thing in the game to multiplication), otherwise, you may need to change the variables a little. But watch out! You may be eaten while you are doing math. Also, there are ghosts in your head and you need to find them, otherwise, a dark, oily net will prevent you from using your variables until you drink your illegal drugs and alcohol cocktail (not illegal yet in the era in which the game takes place).
