This is really interesting, the gameplay is nice and the art looks good. obviously no audio but even then this game is super interesting and a fun experience. I really liked how you handled the spooky aspect of the game.
Interesting concept. The missing sound is an obvious handicap; it would have been great.
I finally managed both endings. One must be also lucky.
This was a great one, cute little characters and funny dialogue! I got the good ending :)
The text at the very end of the good ending is hysterical!
Hospitals + devil parasytes make a good combination for a really creepy game. The artworks used in fights are amazing. And well, the capybaras score points for me hahaha
With some creepy music this could have been even better
Dang quite a cool and creepy game. Nice Work!
how do you get the good ending?
Really fantastic! Loved the artwork!
Really bizarre and freaky atmosphere here, I was really guessing where it would go as it played out! I enjoyed the number of fullscreen character portraits here, it really added a lot of personality. All this really needed was some music and sound effects!
This was a cool game! Talking to the NPCs to learn how to play the game was fun. The experience overall was very polished.
Nice work! This game does an outstanding job capturing the "feel" of a Gameboy game, and the graphics are pretty pleasing to look at, especially when it comes to the dialogue scenes. I just wish there were more patients to work on, because a JRPG set in a hospital with a surgeon as the main character is an interesting concept to me! Sadly, I couldn't rate the music and SFX because there weren't any in this game (at least from my experience).
