[b]Project Hospital[/b] is crunchy management and [i]deep[/i] simulation steeped in real-world medicine.This is the only one I've [i]ever[/i] played that I couldn't constantly run at 3X speed; there are so many moving parts…✅ [b]Diagnosis + Treatment.[/b] A hilarious percentage of modders and folks at the subreddit are medical professionals drawn to the realistic workflow…I like handling all of the unstable patients and letting the stable ones run on autopilot.Why it fits
