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.
Hi thefunkyfungus, may we gently suggest that you play the game through to the end? :) We do not want to post a spoiler here, but suffice to say that if you play it to the end, you will see that our handling of the subject is not what you presumed. We'd love for you to play it through and let us know your feedback.

I explain a little more in the video but I really liked the ability to make choices in dialogue but just wished there was a little less dialogue overall. Liked the game!
This isn't terrible, but it isn't quite unique. The story is fairly predictable, the pacing let's you predict the jumpscares, and there is far too much of 'telling' not 'showing'. I think this is a good start into making games of this genre, but don't be afraid to break the mold! Experiment. Try different ideas out! Don't be afraid to get bizarre. The stranger, the better. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys make!
This is an excellent story driven horror game. It lives up to the high standard of story telling Crux Games have, this is a worthy successor to their past projects. And it's great to see a studio innovate and develop their style and abilities. If you like a spooky story, you'll like this and the other games by Crux as well which are also very impressive.
Amazing game, I loved the story. It is so difficult to imagine to have a partner with those mental problems, but you made me feel it: the guilt, the feeling that it is one's fault, when, in reality, it isn't, you just got put in the worst possible scenario.
It was an interesting way to tell a story. I liked how we slowly found out about all the past events as we moved on through the game. Jump scares were good too 👍
This was really good! Great use of audio to keep the atmosphere nice and spooky. A couple of the jump scares got me pretty good. The story is a bit heavy, but I think that added to the gloomy nature of the game as a whole. Great work!
The Hospital was SO scary. I really enjoyed the deep story and the scares were on point and perfectly timed. Really loved the sound design in the game as well and can tell that you put a ton of work into it. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to play it. My only gripe was the excess of text. The story was great, but I felt like the amount of text could have been decreased for a horror game with jumpscares such as this one and still got the richness of the story across. Just a personal opinion though. All in all, I had a blast with this game and one of the most fun ones I've played in a while. Great job Crux!
I really wish itch.io had a spoiler tag because I want to give an honest opinion to the dev without spoiling fellow gamers. So
SPOILERS:
I am not a fan of jumpscares and there were quite a few that felt forced. Especially the first few because they were only triggered by sound and not the situation.
There was one room in the game that I really liked. Where you moved through objects that made sounds behind you and, so I walked backwards to watch them.
Hi there, thank you for playing The Hospital and for sharing your feedback. Your feedback is insightful; we'll be sure to take that into account in future productions.
Спасибо, что играете в видеоигру. Спасибо, что поделились своим видео. Приносим извинения за баги. Мы их исправим. Надеемся, вам понравилась видеоигра.
I didn't think it was too scary but, a of couple jumpscares did get me. I liked how the ending was ambiguous/open-ended; it definitely wasn't what I had expected. The narrative was well done and I enjoyed playing through the game.
