PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2024

Should you play it?

A washed-up mad doctor is hired back by a devious former test subject and asked to twist her hospital into a corrupt donation mill. Will he seize this second chance to practice his own vision of "science," or will his many failings drag him down once again in this pseudo-medical visual novel?

What works
  • Modernized anime-style artwork and animations
  • Deep, branching narrative with multiple endings
  • Full japanese voice acting enhances immersion
  • Varied and extreme fetish content for niche audience
  • Replayability through different character routes
Things to keep in mind
  • Requires external patch for full adult content
  • Mosaic censorship remains even with patch
  • Gameplay is simplistic and can be confusing without guide
  • Disturbing and morally challenging themes not for all players
  • Technical issues and lack of tutorial reported

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).
