Description
Have you ever wondered about what happens to all those monsters after the brutish adventurer has finished beating them up? They don’t just disappear. No, they end up in the hospital like everyone else!
Monsters and Medicine is a puzzle game where adaptation is key; players try to build and expand their own hospital while injured monsters are knocking at the door, in need of treatment.
History
Monsters and Medicine is the first commercial game developed by Clockwork Acorn. It initially launched on the Humble store and was a definite learning process for the company. Now that we have matured and learned so much more, we felt that the game deserved a fresh coat of paint for its Steam launch. We’ve spent some time in 2016 and 2017 working with collaborators to do a complete art and music overall as well as some general updates to the game, and we’re excited to reintroduce it to the world at large.
Features
- Easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master gameplay.
- Quirky art style with monsters you’ll learn to love.
- 100 hand-crafted replayable levels.
- Unlockable endless mode with randomly generated levels - play forever!
