Finley, a newly arrived pigeon doctor, starts work at St. Ursula's hospital in the small town of Porcupine. The story follows his daily life as he adjusts to the job, meets coworkers and patients, and tries to find his place.
During shifts, talk with patients to learn what is wrong and treat them in minigames testing logic, timing, speed, and skill. Between shifts, explore the hospital and town, talk with residents, and spend time with friends.
Dialogue responses can influence relationships, and optional hangouts let Finley spend time with particular friends. The day-by-day story brings together hospital routines, town life, and the pressures of working in healthcare.
Players who enjoyed the game often praise its hand-drawn art, memorable characters, atmospheric music, and emotional story about life in a small town and the pressures of healthcare work. Other reviews find the experience slow or repetitive, especially the walking and patient minigames, and frequently criticize bugs or unresponsive controls. The ending also divides players, with many describing it as abrupt or leaving questions unresolved.
Step into the town of Porcupine and take to the well-loved scrubs of Finley, the newest fledgling doctor to join the ranks of St. Ursula's hospital. As the seasons in the small-town change and life starts to stir, you'll soon realize that things aren't always what they seem: Not everyone is honest with themselves and others, the healthcare industry is not as illustrious as it seemed in medical school, and the work/life balance Finley strives toward might be impossible to achieve.

Not only is there a lot to discover in the old hospital, but also in the small town of Porcupine itself. Take the time to meet the villagers and have a beer with them in the local pub, take a trip to the nearby forest, or spend quality time with your friends.
The blunt head doctor, the selfless nurse, Finley's smart friends, and many other residents populate the small town of Porcupine. Engage in funny, profound, and sometimes serious dialogues, in which you'll be able to choose your answers and influence your relationships.
You don't even have time to look at the clock because your patients are waiting! Investigate what's wrong with them through your conversations and treat them in different minigames that challenge you in logic, speed, and skill.
At first glance, the small town is a warm, friendly place where everyone knows and greets each other. But if you live there for any length of time, you'll suspect that not everyone is as honest as they pretend to be – especially in an unhealthy healthcare-system.
