Essentially a space texture pack for Two Point Hospital

[General High Ping]

Whilst i adore the older theme hospital type games i also like innovation and not playing what is essentially a copy paste of another game, that was already a copy of an older game.
It's ok, just not overly impressive or innovative.
How much did Matt Berry cost you vs the other V/O contributors?

I partly share your sentiment in that it resembles Two Point Hospital (TPH) quite much. However, Galacticare seems to focus a lot more on sci-fi/space elements and art-style than for example the Two Point Hospital Close Encounters DLC ever did. Additionally Galacticare seems to rely a bit more on humor by the voice overs in addition to the bizzareness of the diseases haha, which also seems to have been upped a bit compared to TPH. I would personally say: give it a go and see if you like it now the demo is available :) Possibly writing it off as a "Space texture repack for TPH" seems a bit harsh in my opinion. These devs are amazing and passionate, so I would advice everyone to try it first to form their own opinion :)

Appreciate the feedback! One drawback of the demo being the first two levels of the game is that you don't get to experience several systems which add depth and variety to the genre; such as spending time specialising your consultants, or the persistent progression that carries through your campaign.

The basics are absolutely built on what is expected and works within this type of game, yet we hope to see Galacticare setting itself apart from the contemporaries as people experience the full game!

You can check out our dev blog if you want a bit more insights into what systems we're tinkering with, and how we ended up making some decisions: https://blog.galacticare.com/

Indeed - this is actually one of the reasons I was most apprehensive about the demo. The first two levels only really scratch the surface mechanically as they are much more focused around teaching you the basics and introducing you to the game world.

Theme Hospital and Two Point Hospital are both great games which we are big fans of (obviously!), and honestly we absolutely expected comments like this and aren't totally upset by it - given the relatively small size of the genre, the comparisons are of course going to happen.

We knew the bread-and-butter worked and didn't want to reinvent that. Instead our goal was to layer on a variety of systems and content to push the genre forwards - but you only really get into that later in the campaign once the basics are established.

If you're talking about the voice of Dorian Salazar, that's actually Ben Kearns!
