The Last Doctor, by Quirky Bones

In a walled enclave, a doctor does the best they can with very little.

Though the blurb is brief, it gives a very accurate sense of what this game is about. Faced with limited resources and other constraining circumstances, you, as a doctor in what seems to be a dystopian future, must make decisions about how to run your practice.

Three decisions, to be exact (in each of my two playthroughs). This is a bite-sized game. I enjoyed it; what is there is well-written and poses some real ethical dilemmas to the player.

I’m craving more, though. A longer and more fleshed-out version of this game sounds very appealing. I especially would like to know more about the history and current state of the city in which the doctor operates. The worldbuilding was enough to pique my interest.
