Design and run hospitals that treat comic illnesses like Bloaty Head, Slack Tongue and King Complex. It's a funny, busy management sim with real depth under the jokes.
Kit's verdict · 8.6/10
Silly, charming and stressful in the best way.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Very funny diseases and cures
- Satisfying layout and staff management
- Steady difficulty curve across levels
Not so much
- Late levels turn into frantic firefighting
- Small, finicky interface
Play it if management sim fans who like a sense of humour.
Skip it if players who hate juggling dozens of problems at once.

- Put a staff room in early so tired staff can rest instead of quitting.
- Research new diagnosis rooms and cures to raise your cure rate.
- Train junior doctors in a training room with a consultant to build up specialists.
