Dang - well that was a great 15min. Frenchie - why did you make such a sweet game so short? I'd love to play more, I'm already falling for all the characters.
Great work, I can't wait to see what comes next!
EDIT: As a review for others - this is really a 15min demo more than a full game, but it's got a lot of heart and hits a lot of beats right. Definitely recommended for the quick demo that it is. Covers the medical field really nicely in a way I've not seen before. Only complaint is that there's not more and that the finale screen is "Alt + F4 to quit" lol.
Cute story but mostly a tutorial for a game that won't happen. That being said, I want more games like it. I'm going into nursing school and while this may not be a realistic story, I'd like to play story based games about nurses.
As a nurse student I really found this game accurate but also beautiful. It was a great way to show the constant balancing that can occur during the work and I love the ending with information about nurses mental health. I've met so many nurses during my internships and it truly is an incredible work they're doing everyday while balancing everything else in their lives. Thank you Alma Team <3
