Developed by Brightrock Games · Published by Mythwright
You direct an interstellar healthcare company, building hospitals that serve many alien species. In story mode, your work takes you from a station near Earth toward a wider effort to save the galaxy.
Design, furnish, and upgrade rooms; hire doctors with different traits; and manage staff and patient needs as new cases arrive. Research conditions and build treatment facilities to diagnose and cure alien illnesses, while keeping the hospital running for income.
Recruit Consultants who travel with you through the campaign, gaining levels and new skills. Missions bring hospitals to settings such as festivals, prisons, and farms, while sandbox mode lets you build without following the story.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its humorous sci-fi setting, unusual alien species, story, and voice acting, alongside the appeal of building and managing a space hospital. Some find the experience relaxing and familiar, while others describe it as too easy or repetitive. Reports of bugs and save problems also appear in the sample.
