I bought this because of a bad review, and I’m glad I did. I literally only bought this game because I saw a highly detailed negative review trashing the 90-minute hospital intro, calling it a "dreadfully boring" walking simulator with zero depth. I got curious, decided to see it for myself, and ended up playing for over 5 hours. Long story short: that negative review completely missed the point. The hospital introduction is actually super important for setting the pace and atmosphere of the rest of the game. If you just rush from objective A to B without looking around, yeah, it’s going to feel like a mundane hospital shift. But that’s the narrative trick—the game wants you to feel that routine before things change. More importantly, it’s not empty. If you actually take your time and look around, you'll find things the rushed reviewers completely missed. For example, there’s a specific door and a hidden key you can find to help Quentin. It is completely optional, but if you take the time to do it, it actually changes parts of the story later on. The game genuinely rewards you for letting it run and exploring the corners instead of trying to speedrun it. As for the complaints …

Just a quick post, as I have yet to finish the game, but so far I am really enjoying myself. And that is coming from someone who usually plays Point n Clicks, action-RPGs (think Witcher 3), or turn-based combat RPGs (like Chained Echoes). Anyway, this popped up as a recommended game, and I’m really glad it did—it seems to have a good story, fun exploration, and cute graphical style. I’ll update my review once I’ve finished the game, but right now I’m just taking my time exploring, talking to everyone, and looking at everything. So far it’s keeping my attention quite well (and I’ve been poking around for quite some time now), which is a great thing. Good game if you like a slower pace of an RPG with a lot of characters and things to see. :)

Very intriguing story, was hooked straight from the intro. Would recommend as a weekend cozy game. Keep in mind there is a lot of reading to get everything out of it, but that is not a negative thing at all and also makes it perfect for visual novel fans.

Super cute, cozy and fun! I love the unique story lines and solving the little side quests. Also clever dialogue that got me laughing a few times.

Unfortunatly my 90 minutes of this (on Steam Deck, not that it matters) were dreadfully boring. During the introduction sequence: - you get thrown into a regular random hospital you know nothing about (and therefore have no connexion with) - you play as a random doctor you know nothing about (and therefore have no connexion with) - you get tasked with the most menial, boring and tedious jobs known to mankind - said task requires you to go all the way across the hospital, talk to person A, be told to go all the way across the hospital to talk to person B, talk to person B, be told to go all the way across the hospital to talk to person C - as you clumsily (you cannot walk diagonally, in 2026, yes) and slowly (you play as a snail dressed up with human clothes, and yes I know you can "sprint", if the speed was doubled, it would start being tolerable) go through the hospital several times to advance the game, you come across many identical looking rooms with nothing interesting inside (no loot, no quests, nothing) and MANY IDENTICAL (and I MEAN IDENTICAL) looking characters that you don't know about, don't care about, and exhaust their one or 2 lines of dialogue before moving on, inc…

If you gave an Animal Crossing villager a concussion, they'd talk like the characters in this game.
