Hey there! I understand there is a narrative focus so I sat back and enjoyed the ride with this one. The only issue that I found is that I knew nothing would happen to me, because there was no way for me to "lose" so it wasn't as scary as it could have been, in my opinion. Here is my playthrough if you're interested:
Thank you for playing The Hospital, and for your feedback. We're glad you liked it. Also note that you played an earlier version, and some of the issues you raised were addressed in the latest build.
Cool! I didn't realize I wasn't playing the latest build. I just kinda clicked download on the page. Hope you guys continue to grow and make more content in the future!
OK. Very short and not scary at all really. It as OK, but there is definitely no replay value in it. I guess this could go on to make a better game, but I do not know where you would carry on from. It just seems to go nowhere. But, hey, a worthy effort. Thanks for making it.
Spectacular! 9/10! Amazing story, heartbreaking depart/topics, holds its relevance not limited to COVID, timeless with its overshadow on mental illness. Very good. Looking forward to more games you guys have coming up!
I played it for my channel, it was the first game I played that actually dealt head-on with Covid, I think it’s a good topic for horror games since there are so many layers of anxiety and fear surrounding the pandemic. I do think that that plot element would have held its own, all in all it was a lot of story for a short game. I also think the scares didn’t really fit the theme. Maybe more confusion what’s real and what’s not would have worked better with the topic since that’s the main driver of our protagonist. But all in all it was a solid experience.
The emotional weight this brief horror game carried was pretty good in my opinion. The atmosphere was great as well. Really impressed. Thank you. I made a video of The Hospital. Check it out whenever you get a chance. :D
Very interesting game. This game just reiterates how sad and lonely this pandemic really is. Gameplay was smooth overall and it definitely deserves a 10/10 for atmosphere, way to set the mood lol. Reaction below.
Really cool horror game, and very important for self-reflection on those who have been directly affected by the current pandemic. Whether you have it or know someone who has, along with lockdown scenarios, it's been otherworldly in its sheer magnitude on how it has changed our way of living as people.
This game is amazing! The gameplay was very smooth and straightforward, the spooks were great! But the story that was told really brought the whole game together! Very well done and I cant wait to see more from you!
The environment and the smoothness of the game was really great! The setting; it was dark, had a spooky ambient corridors and rooms and the sounds in the background really helped enhance all of that together!
The smoothness of the animations and transitions was really well done too! It was a super crisp feeling game and felt like it was all like a one take movie!
That being said, you definitely could have added more scares and spooks along the way. You guys nailed the atmosphere, but nothing much happened to utilise the scary environment you guys made. Even simple spooks such as the girl peekig around the corner or something disappearing or having to turn aroudn to go another way, etc, would have sufficed to utilise the great scary you guys made!
The character you guys made was really great (I personally found him explaining things a little too much but I do get why you guys wrote it that way; so every player gets what they are experiencing so I understand and probably just my own preference there.) and even the whole overall story was pretty good! Well done on the story and world building stuff you guys did!
Hi there, thank you for playing The Hospital. We appreciate the kind words and the detailed feedback. Your play-through was fun to watch; thank you for sharing!
Какая классная игра. Жуткая, страшная... Я так не кекал давно. Эффективный способ перезагрузить нервную систему, чтобы снова начать чувствовать запахи, хотя бы на время.
Not bad, though feel that some of the jumps felt a little cheap, the atmosphere non the less was nice. Not nice but horrific still it was a fun little experience.

You do know that Indie games like this arent full replayable games right?
Some are some aren't. This one could be by the ending, I just felt it wasn't really going anywhere for me. We are all different.
i loved it had great elements i loved the ending when nia ran at you i kinda laughed ngl
