An amazing idea that just needs a little more polish to be awesome.
Add some voice actors, work on the facial animations a bit.
The core gameplay is cool, listen to patients, diagnose them and recommend treatment.
At the current price, what have you got to lose?

I really want to like this game.
I'm planning on becoming a psychiatrist, so ofc this game really interested me. The concept of the game is great, but it's very poorly made, almost unfunctional. The text-to-speech and creepy-looking clients with mouths that don't match up to their talking is creepy af.
If you have a pretty good knowledge of mental illness and medication, the game is fairly boring. The client will say something like "I'm completely dependent on others. I can't make my own decisions" and then you dx. them with DPD.
I knew it wasn't going to be worth it based on the reviews, but I had to try. Don't spend the money.

[i]This is the first review of the Steam Redlight series, a series where I purposely seek out negatively or controversially rated games on Steam to see if they're as bad as the Internet says they are. It's accompanied by a video review that can be found [b][url=https://youtu.be/9-LyLPVywIE]here[/url][/b].[/i]
[b]In summary, I can't recommend this game as it [i]doesn't work[/i][/b], like many of the other recent reviews. I put in what I felt like was a good amount of effort to try and troubleshoot its troubles and nothin' worked out. Read on for more details.
[h2] Introduction [/h2]
Well, in this game... you're supposed to be a psychiatrist, and go through 14 people who all have unique problems and whatnot. Since I couldn't experience all of that, we're just going to skip to the next section.
[h2] The Good [/h2]
This game is hilarious[spoiler]ly broken[/spoiler].
[h2] The Bad [/h2]
[list]
[*]The game crashes when the first patient arrives -- up until that point, you're able to interact with the office such as pick up books, which have what seem like answer-keys to some of the problems you might experience. But... since I can't use that information, it's all moot.
[*]The first time the patient arrived, I actually didn't answer the door -- I just wanted to look around and finish reading my book, but then Lukas let him self in very jump-scare-esque, followed by the game crashing.
[*]The [b]New Game[/b] button doesn't actually start the game. I think it refreshes your progress (resets your save-state).
[*]The credits screen is incredibly difficult to read.
[/list]
The developer [i]did[/i] acknowledge that there's a problem, hence the short blurb in the store page under the system requirements:
[quote=Eathrabaria]Additional Notes: PC Desktop, There is a critical bug on laptop, so game won't work on laptop at high chance.[/quote]
Now, I don't use a laptop -- so it's not isolated to just laptop devices. If you stop by the Community Hub, you'll see there's actually a developer post where they learn of the bug. However, it ends on July 3rd with this response:
[quote=s8cusyqr]I know that many people have bug and can't play a game. I want to reimport it to newest unity version, it could help, but it will take a while. In meantime I can propose yout let's plays:[/quote]
That's not the best response; the sidecar into let's plays is a weird thing to lead people to considering people paid for the game, but to each their own: Eathrabia is a new gamedev, and may learn better in time.
[h2] The End [/h2]
Anyway, time's up. I can't recommend this game. I could see myself re-reviewing it if the problem is fixed, but that's a [i]maybe[/i]. I won't refund the game, because I figure I need to help fund Eathrabia's current desire (see Community Hub)...
[quote=s8cusyqr]Hi, Now I work as a game programmer and I have plans for Psychiatrist Simulator remastered. Instead of animations I would like to use real videos of people, but I need budget for that. Please list all bugs that this game has and I will repair them. [/quote]

Well, this game was... something. It's really hard to explain how this game is. It's creepy and uncomfortable and it has a lot of really strange issues. It feels much more like a base concept than a full game. As much as I tried to take the game seriously and help people with the given issues they came in about, I couldn't help but consistantly feel... unnerved about basically everything. The people are ugly and creepy and everyone talks through various text-to-speech voices (hell, even you do). It also has some of the worst menus I've ever witnessed, but that really is one of the lesser problems the game has. I honestly can't explain it all that well, but the bottom line is that the game is bad as a game, but is still a unique experience in its own way. I can't recommend this game at all in terms of quality, but if you really want to figure out how downright strange this game actually feels, the only real way is to experience it yourself.

This game is so horrible lol, most sessions are repetative responses and questions. I had good sessions with a few patients and they ended up dying? Only the narcassits and OCD patients ended up living somehow. I only had one conversation with the drug abuse woman as well... I wish we were able to call in certain patients. Mathew Blaze was a worthless character who never showed up to another session. I gave him conflicting medications to see if it would kill him but nothing happened. I feel as if the diagnosis and medications do not contribute to any part of the game. There is potential for this to become a better game but i don't understand why this half-assed game was released. Felt as if the Dev was trolling us with the facial expressions the patients gave after they spoke as well. Why did i think trying to play this game actually trying to cure the patients was a good idea, I would have had a better time picking the bottom hilarious responses to the characters to see their reactions. This game in all was so terrible and made me want to code the game and dialouge responses myself. Thanks Dev you the ultimate troll for this shitty ass so called game ahahhaha
