Malpractice Hospital

Malpractice Hospital is a strategy simulation game in which you manage patients and perform surgeries for the hospital’s financial benefit. Patients arrive expecting treatment, but you often try to make them sick enough for surgery while avoiding the staff’s efforts to treat them. You can also provide treatment when it can be billed to insurance.

Manage the hospital stay

Each patient has a hospital stay with resources and challenges to manage. You collect bacteria from the floor and use it to weaken the patient, damage an organ instantly or over time, prevent treatment, or gain abilities and trigger events that help mistreatment and hinder care. Other hospital staff treat patients against your wishes, so you need to act before they fully recover; if a patient is treated before reaching surgery, the hospital earns nothing.

Each patient offers different routes into surgery and requires you to find an effective approach. The game includes 12 unique patients, with increasing variety and difficulty and distinct environments. You can customize each patient’s check-in for a varied starting situation.

Perform surgeries

Once a patient reaches the operating table, you can cut, scan and use tools to search for valuables, including organs, swallowed gems and rare insects. Patients have limited time for surgery, and you unlock more tools as you progress through different patients. Work quickly, but avoid rapid movements: a cutting mistake can injure a patient and cause them to bleed out on the table. Some operations are straightforward, while others call for different approaches or careful use of your tools.

The Surgery mode lets you select a patient you have finished and go straight to their operation, skipping the hospital stay. Each patient also has three separate challenge levels, which unlock achievements.

Create custom patients

An in-game level editor lets you create complete patient levels, including check-in, hospital stay and surgery. You can play, create, import and share custom patients using code strings to save, play, import or share them.
