I recommend this game. Its an enjoyable little management puzzler. It's one of those games where you go into it thinking you'll mess around for 30 minutes and actually spend 6 hours managing a tiny clinic.

That said, it has its quirks. The game absolutely does not hold your hand. If you're running out of staff, patients will die. If you run out of offices, patients will die. If you forget to move the Trauma Center victim to general surgery, they will repeatedly collapse, and eventually die. The game will only say "hey you've done {x} wrong" when its already an active problem, if it tells you anything at all.

The game also has no real prioritization mechanics. Someone in the HDU about to collapse due to their surgery taking forever? Sucks to be them, because until they get moved to ICU, they're at the bottom of the list, no matter the triage.

It basically means you have to be well acquainted with the systems of the game and that you have to be actively looking for problems. I don't think that this is necessarily a negative, I think that minor paperwork flaws should result in dire consequences, but it's maybe not conducive to the the casual experience someone might be looking for, hence why it's included in this review.
