Symptoms of Infection

Great experience and direction overall. Personally loved all the callbacks to Life and Death on DOS, it feels like a more isolating version of that and it's something I thought I'd never see. There was always something 'off' about that game to me, and Symptoms of Infection selects the most of the right elements from that, mainly the difficulty progression, the repetition, and the empty look of the patients. Some thoughts though. I think the game holds your hand for too long, as it's impossible to make the wrong decisions initially. I assume this is deliberate to create a false sense of safety before the ward is at capacity, where a lot more can go wrong but the disposition screen still remains linear and forced. The missteps are too consequential and aren't memorable, I'd love to hear flatlining, a warning from a senior doctor, or something else realistic there other than a fire animation. It also doesn't establish any context of location or your responsibilities, so it doesn't feel as scary knowing there isn't much at stake, something you can simply walk away from. It's a solid game with large potential. I have a good impression so far and look forwards to seeing how it eventual…

Has a lot of potential but in its current state borderline infuriating. Imagine a charming 8 bit version of a Last of Us game, but you can only really make 3 choices out of the hundreds presented, and 5/6 choices you could make result in an instant death. And this instant death results in you going back to the beginning of the game. Aside from quality of life things like that, though, I like the atmosphere, the premise, the ambience, the art and the cold-start intro. Could definitely feel my cortisol lower when I turned the game off. As others have said, it's good for its stage of production and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

Very nice concept with A-tier atmosphere. Short playtime (30mn-1hr) but understandable since we're in the earliest stages of EA. Examination phase feels a little too "on-rails" however, and some mechanics could do with a bit more explanation.

It's an interesting concept for sure. Definitely appreciate its ability to inspire an unnerving tone. Only thing I would ask developers to change is adding clarification on the cellular treatment minigame. Everything up until then is pretty direct, yet the cellular treatment is incredibly vague and I have failed it multiple times resulting in what I take is either an ending, demo hard-stop, or game over. Having to repeat the game time after time to retry it since there's no save checkpoints, and now it feels like more of a chore than a good experience.

Thrilling game. Its amazing what one can create with 3MB The pixelart is satisfying tested for a few minutes then quit to not spoil the game DEV please add new features asap so we can fully enjoy it .

Even though its still in EA, this game haunts me now. The look is very much like the original DOS game Life & Death; the feel is terrifying dread. I've already thrown myself into the LAM ORB rabbit hole and the final image of this game shook something deep inside. The dread is high. I have questions but I'm afraid of the answers. We need to talk about Lucy. My god, download this game already!
