About This Game

// PROJECT MALPRAXIS SUMMARY

Malpraxis was an incident caused by a field test centred around precision, tension and trauma-response. As the Chief Medical Officer on the TRH Rusanov, Samuel Edwards oversaw the S.P.I.D.E.R. in triage, examinations, and operations on crew-members, as disaster built and shady figures set the events in motion that would eventually lead to the events detailed in the report under code name: Negative Atmosphere.

All captured via BCPU 5 - 35A’s first-person experience of the horror, tension, and trauma that unfolded in the operating room.

// INSTRUCTIONS

Treat the patients

During the course of Malpraxis, all the patients coming into the OR will be your responsibility, and although Edwards will be there to support you, you will have to calibrate your algorithms quickly in order to get your test subjects patients through. Your actions and observations are key to their survival.

Every choice matters

Dr. Edwards has sworn a Hippocratic oath. This means that morality is not just about what your core directive is as a SPIDER unit, as every decision will have an effect on Dr. Edwards. You have the freedom leeway to set your own priorities during medical procedures, but the outcome might be different from what your programming predicted. Your patients live or die by your decisions, and Edwards and his team will suffer the consequences of those losses.

There’s no going back

There is no bringing back the dead. There is no do-over in life. If you lose a patient, you have to move on and live with recalibrate according to what happened. You only had get one chance to do things right. And you failed.
