Reminds me of old Theme Hospital games, but spooky\n\nI think the tower-defense-hospital idea is great, and I think this could be refined into a proper game. Right now though I think the gameplay loop is a bit confusing - it's hard to tell what patient requires what aura (maybe some sort of icon above their head would be useful?) and it's quite hard to tell where they're going to move, so it's very fiddly to play, especially with more than one patient. Good idea overall, just needs some refining :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":725273,"author_name":"Pythorogus","author_uid":"pythorogus","epoch":1633430009,"text":"Nice concept !

While I was able to \"cure\" a couple patients (as in, reduce their instability to 0), they just kinda walked around continuing to generate money, and it didn't go towards the cured total in the ui.
