Very funny idea and realisation too!

Interesting take on the theme. Was fun to pay through multiple times to see the different possible outcomes. Is it possible to not kill Gunther and not kill yourself?

@daveh:
Yes, there is a way!
Try doing other things the moment before you kill him.
Who knows, you might find something. :)

I liked the story aspect. Made me think of castle of doctor brain. I dislike the installer, it felt dodgy. Some funny moments :) Thanks

I'm so sad this game only runs on Windows. From the description, the game seems hilarious, but I'm on a Mac ;__;

Fun story :)

I enjoyed every word in this game. Hilarious!
Maybe in one day I will try myself in being physician. Looks like job of my dream.

It's funny, very good for 48 hours.
I'd like that potion animation :)

interesting game, it would be better to have more interactive content.

Funny, there is a lot of possible interactions, just add some sound and it would be (almost) perfect ^^

This is really charming. A little slight, maybe, but it definitely put a smile on my face. Cool idea to have the a story told through the different patients coming through.

It's also got me wondering if there'd be any fun in a game that took a more serious take on prehistoric medicine.

Is there a way to get to play the game without installing it? I don't think I'm alone here, but for me web games is really preferred (read next to mandatory). Self contained downloadable games acceptable, but it makes me grumpy. However if hosted by itch.io I can use their app and then the experience is equal to a web-game, if not better. In extreme cases third party dependencies from reliable sources can be installed, but the game really should be self contained. But this probably makes it a roll higher than 17 on a D20 die to succeed/be done. Games requiring installation is simply not going to happen and that is what I got from looking at the zip.

From the comments, I would have liked to try it out. So let me know if you make another type of build.
