New games: Project Hospital takes healthcare management vertical

Being a man of a Certain Age, I have a lot of nostalgia for Bullfrog games - Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Theme Hospital all figured into my formative years. That means I also was quickly drawn to this year’s Two Point Hospital, the modern homage to the Bullfrog original. But Two Point Hospital leaned heavily into Bullfrog’s trademark goofiness - and somehow that feels a bit off now when the game’s about something as serious as healthcare. Enter Project Hospital. It’s a game that’s immediately recognizable as a Theme Hospital/Two Point Hospital clone, but it’s taking out some of the sillier bits and adding a certain, well, depth to the hospital management scene. There isn’t a lot of information out on Project Hospital yet, but just leafing through the screenshots I’m impressed with how it’s making a go at looking a lot like a real modern hospital. Lately I’ve visited a couple different real-world hospitals to see loved ones and family, and they’re complicated places: halls seem to shoot off at weird angles, lights and buzzers are going off all around, and inscrutable scientific monitoring equipment seems to cover most surfaces.
