Project Hospital is a very realistic hospital game that looks a lot like Habbo. But the problem is, hospitals aren t very fun places to be, are they? Which is why games like Two Point Hospital make them humorous and less realistic, because depending on the reason you re in hospital, they tend to exist for bad things, right? Not always, I mean you could be having a child I suppose, or some life-changing surgery, but I ve never been to a hospital for something good. Last time I was in hospital was for an allergy test. Having tiny little needles pricking your arm, and then hanging around and waiting for a reaction is not the most fun I ve had (turns out, I m not allergic to anything, despite an horrific reaction to something> a few Gamescoms ago).

You wait since 1997 for for a decent hospital management game, and two come along at once. Fortunately, while Project Hospital may share its isometric look with Theme Hospital and its successor Two Point Hospital, it looks like a very different beast – a far more complex and realistic management sim with no time for jokes. Developed by Oxymoron Games and released today, would be hospital managers have to balance the books, staff the wards and (ideally) make sure patents leave healthier than when they arrived. A very businesslike and proper trailer waits below.
