I really dig this aesthetic; it reminded me a lot of the Potion Craft style. It’s a very interesting take on the theme, and while there are some points to polish as others have mentioned, I believe the project is well worth developing further in the future.

Developer

A surprinsingly good and complete game for only a 10 day period game jam. How did you manage to do all this in such short period of time? I really enjoyed playing this game even if it was kind of hard for me. Good job!

Developer

well. for speed all credit goes to my big brother. he helped alot in the project by giving me pretty cool coding ideas that i used to make really complex stuff with really small amount of time. also sorry for the hardness. i didnt had time to try it out couple of times to check how hard it is. but after the jam i will change some stuff to make it less punishing. so kindly stay tuned. also glad you like the game and alot of thanks for trying it out.

Wow… really, really advanced game compared to other Game Jam projects and overall for a project for a Game Jam.

The tutorial is helpful, but it doesn’t explain everything and I wish it did. For example, what is the difference in staff’s classes, the upgrades panel doesn’t explain what the rooms do (I purchased one and only after that is said that it permanently improves the stats).

Earning money was hard for me. I took in patients, cared for them and eventually cured them and I think they gave me 1 gold. I feel like they should pay for each night spent in the bed. After all, there are so many things to buy and the more I played, the more I struggled, because I always had no money.

These were the biggest issues I encountered while playing, but other than that it’s a really, really strong contender to becoming a great resource-based strategy game. You’ve got the interface layout and main mechanics ready. I just feel like it needs polish and QoL additions (for example it would be nice if hovering over the top UI elements would tell you what it is or what it does).

I agree with @FEARsoft LTD that it’s a shame the game doesn’t have sound effects and that the text is hard to read at times. But this is one of few games that made me hooked and actually want to play more.

Great job!

Thank you brother. this means alot to me. to be honest i did added some tool tips but in the end i messed up my code a little. while working on the tutorial display. thats why its not visible what each button does and what it takes. but i will continue work on it. and make it more polished and i will definitely add the each night cause money stuff to the game. thank you for the suggestion and for the  sound. i am making it. i want the ambient sound to be dark gloomy and a little bit desperate. so it hooks with the gameplay style. also i will add vfx later. once the jam overs

I’m glad to hear it! I’ll be sure to check the game out after the update.

The theme is spot on in my opinion, very good work on conceptualizing it! This really makes you question your decisions and hover over hards back and forth trying to think who you will turn away, and the sense that you cannot expand and take all in during that round creates an interesting emotion.
The major issues I had was that audio didn't work and text was too small. Also, the art looks interesting, but would've been nice to see something custom made. I had some trouble understanding what each action would yield (like giving a herb or doing another procedure). I'd suggest considering a design in which you want to minimize written tutorials and introduce features little by little so you can get players right to action in a satisfying way. :)

Thank you for your support and suggestion brother. i will keep working on the project after the end of the jam. and make it a full fledged game. with the audio and vfx and other polished gameplay.

I wish it had sound, that would have been great. It reminded me of games from the Age of Empires era. Interesting concept, I might even imagine it as a board game, although that's not my kind of game. It's good, it could be polished even more, especially the text needs to be more legible.

Developer

Thank you for your support and suggestion brother. for the sound i am making it. i didnt had enough time to complete it. i was too focused on the gameplay. i totally forgot about it. but i am working on it. to further polish it.

Darn. Sometimes my computer can't play Godot downloads properly and it looks like this is one of them. All I got was black screen and the cool custom cursor :(

The art looked really cool. Really wanted to try this one.
