LAIR M.D. by RetroEpic
LAIR M.D. is a fantastical investigation game in which the player controls a doctor whose job it is to keep an army of goblins physically and mentally healthy. To do this, the player must use his eyes, wits, and bizarre diagnostic tools to unearth symptoms from a goblin patient. Curing patients quickly is good for business, but rushing the job and diagnosing the wrong ailment could kill the patient and your practice.
How to play:
Step 1.
- Left click to select a tool, then left click on different parts of your patient's body to look for reactions
- Escape or right click to release tool
Tools:

Step 2.
- Make a judgement on which cure to administer to the goblin patient with the findings you've made from the previous step.
Step 3.
- Make as much gold as possible by repeating step 1 and 2 successfully.
Each session lasts 60 seconds, save as many goblins as possible.

And polished like a Blizzard game.
And so funny !
I'd like to see the other games you do !
It's really fun but damn it's hard. Maybe you could make it 2 minutes?
However the game... I completely completely don't get it. Well I do, but it looks incomprehensibly hard. Idid better when I guessed everything XD It's like one of those old adventure games where I needed to click on everything... But with a TIMER :P
It could be super cool with a better learning curve :)
Would've been cool, if there were a few difficulty levels with maybe different round time, amount of goblins to diagnose, different pool of possible symptoms and diseases etc., but yeah, that's not really feasible in the LD timeframe now is it. Some kind of tutorial would've also helped to ease the player into the game.
All in all, a really great game!

I was only able to successfully diagnose a few of them, but the process was really fun!
Superb art.
Graphics are great, ambient sound fits good, all the things like ui and such is very polished. Took some time to understand what I'm supposed to do ( I'm not a big manual reader), but when I had that going it was really fun :)
Congratulations, that's a five stars project :)
had trouble really working out the game but the atmosphere was enough for me
