How it feels

You play as a medical professional methodically diagnosing mysterious, unsettling infections in a clinical, early-access simulation.

What players say

Players praise the unsettling atmosphere and low-fidelity graphics, but many find it more of a short demo than a complete early access game. They split on the scripted diagnosis, with some wanting more freedom. Several compare it to the old DOS game Life & Death.
