Get personalized picks →Project Hospital is a strategy simulation developed by Oxymoron Games that tasks players with building and managing a functioning medical facility. Released in 2018, the game emphasizes realistic hospital operations where department layout directly affects efficiency, diagnostic chains require genuine tests rather than guesswork, and emergency overloads expose weak design instantly. Players must balance insurance system mechanics that influence patient flow while developing staff specialization that actually matters. Reviewers describe the experience as challenging, immersive, and contemplative, with a punishing edge that rewards careful planning over reactive management. The simulation spans a massive runtime with deep economic systems, and currently holds an 88% positive rating from over 3,200 Steam reviews. It runs as playable on Steam Deck.
About Project Hospital: Become an ace doctor, an aspiring architect and a successful manager at the same time. Design your very own hospital, tweak every detail or choose one of the prebuilt scenarios and just jump to the doctor’s duty.
