You just started in the hospital business. To get things running you borrowed some money from the Mafia. In return they expect ridiculous amounts of danegeld from you as the doctor. So it’s up to you to keep the cash flowing, no matter what the cost, or your business will be closed down! But beware, the police is not too keen on seeing body bags being dragged around the streets...

WASD / Arrow keys, Space bar and number keys to control the game. Esc pauses the game. No mouse needed. Gameplay happens in your browser, so no additional download is required.

Story, gameplay, graphics, music, etc. were exclusively created for this game by us. Just some sound effects were taken from freesound.org (all CC0-licensed).

Bugfixes - since the release we fixed a couple of bugs in the game. Here's an overview about all the changes we made:
- ending screens could be closed accidentally by pressing space ingame just when the screen appeared; added a short delay where user input is ignored to prevent players from not being able to see the ending screen
- it was possible to continuously restart minigames by holding return key, which was especially confusing with regards to the "give organ" treatment
- fixed minigame description text display to make clear players should use the space key, as some players tried return instead, accidentally ending the training mode (potentially resulting in failed patient treatments and thus casualties and difficulties to beat the game)
- attempt to fix a bug causing game freezes on rare occasions, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work (note: in case you encounter such a crash, it would be quite helpful if you could open the browser dev tools (usually via F12) console and let us know about the error message)
- there was a bug where restarting the game after winning or losing would play the second soundtrack over the first one

NOTE: Please use Chrome or Firefox to play this game for now. Other browsers may not fully support the game, or not run it at all. Sorry for the inconvenience!
