Symptoms of Infection

I love this. it is like you tailored it to my interests, haha. its pretty disturbing in just my favorite way. I hope you can make more content or lore or something, you really deserve a lot of attention.

I streamed this game for my friends! My friends and I are all fans of Tom Toe, very good fans. What a wonderful man.

this is the closest a game has ever been to having me ♥♥♥♥ my pants without being jumpscared, plenty of piss tho, 26/10 absolutely would recommend i need more

Maybe it's just because I found it pretty early after it was added to Steam, but I'm surprised this game hasn't caught on more already. The low-fidelity graphics give you just enough to be scary while also letting your imagination fill in the gaps for things that you can't see too clearly. I'm excited to see where this game goes and what these devs do next!

Great experience and direction overall. Personally loved all the callbacks to Life and Death on DOS, it feels like a more isolating version of that and it's something I thought I'd never see. There was always something 'off' about that game to me, and Symptoms of Infection selects the most of the right elements from that, mainly the difficulty progression, the repetition, and the empty look of the patients. Some thoughts though. I think the game holds your hand for too long, as it's impossible to make the wrong decisions initially. I assume this is deliberate to create a false sense of safety before the ward is at capacity, where a lot more can go wrong but the disposition screen still remains linear and forced. The missteps are too consequential and aren't memorable, I'd love to hear flatlining, a warning from a senior doctor, or something else realistic there other than a fire animation. It also doesn't establish any context of location or your responsibilities, so it doesn't feel as scary knowing there isn't much at stake, something you can simply walk away from. It's a solid game with large potential. I have a good impression so far and look forwards to seeing how it eventually comes along.

Given the price with the current amount of content, I cannot recommend this game. The game is way too early in development and I probably would have beaten it in 30~ minutes if I discovered the save feature earlier instead of thinking it was autosaved. At this point, it doesn't even feel like a demo, and barely resembles the gameplay and atmosphere they're clearly going for. I'll probably come back later to check on it, and I think there's a decent chance I'll change my views if they end up finishing it.

Very nice concept with A-tier atmosphere. Short playtime (30mn-1hr) but understandable since we're in the earliest stages of EA. Examination phase feels a little too "on-rails" however, and some mechanics could do with a bit more explanation.

Very, very good for how early in development this game is! The style hits its mark perfectly, the low-fidelity and general Old DOS Game Vibes are spot-on. Can't wait to see where it goes!
