ASYMPTOMATIC

This game is a PGDX 2025 Indie Game Star!

To keep curiosity high, Level 2 and 3 will only be uploaded after PGDX 2025!

The current build uploaded only has Level 1. The main game build will be replaced, and a separate Level 2 and 3 build will also be provided for those who don't want to replay Level 1. This note will be removed once the build has been replaced.

Game made for our Game Production class as Game Development college students. Theme given for this term was Medical & Hospitals. The term was 3 months long, but taking into account our time and manpower restraint due to multiple academic responsibilities, we are estimating this took a little less than 2 weeks. Please forgive any bugs and let us know about them here!

Differential diagnosis in video game form — stories inspired by the cases of House MD as a half 2D visual novel and half 3D first person puzzle adventure inspired by the mysteries of Ace Attorney and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

A patient comes in and describes their symptoms, and you are given a list of everything it could be – all with buts.

It could be illness #1, but it wouldn’t explain one other symptom. It could be illness #2, but if you’re wrong, the patient could die immediately from the treatment for the diagnosis you decided to give. For each potential diagnosis, there are lists of tests given that can either further confirm a diagnosis or remove it as a possibility.

However, sometimes medical diagnostic exams just aren’t enough – some symptoms could be explained by exposure to a certain chemical or mold for a long amount of time – check where they live or where they work for information the patient or hospital wouldn’t be able to give you.

Three levels. Three patients. Three stories.

Three medical mysteries — until you came along.

Interrogate, investigate, deduce, then make a diagnosis and hope it’s the right one.

CURRENT GOALS

- add more expressive character sprites
- update with original soundtrack (currently being composed)
- readd the trust mechanic once it's better fleshed out
