S.O.R.S is out this week!

2 March, 2016 - racSG

Hi everyone!

Really exciting news - we're good to go! Everything is approved by Valve, so we're planning a launch date of this Friday, 6pm UK time (10am EST).

Our store page is already up so please go take a look if you haven't already.

Also please help build awareness by spreading the word if you like the look of the game. Tell your friends, love ones, strangers in the streets, pets, anyone who could access steam (I guess cats could, technically, with a bit of luck...)

And, as always, thanks a lot for your support in getting to this point. Game dev is tough, but every positive comment, game download and share is always encouraging and really helps spur us on :)

All the best, and see you over the finish line ;)

Update on progress

4 November, 2015 - racSG

Hi everyone - sorry for the radio silence. Progress has been good and we're getting close to launch! :)

Below is a list of features/updates/tweaks that have been added since the original release (http://richsg.itch.io/sors)-

2 new scanning mechanics
Error points are now generated based on how you move the scanner, rather than just randomly
New story elements
Easy mode added
New treatment room introduction animation
New treatment room background

And some more minor things (text edits, cheatword updates etc).

Overall I'm really excited about the steam version of the game - especially the new scanning mechanics for leukemia and the false colour images. One of the mistakes in the initial release was to base too many of the game mechanics around luck. Now, however, they're all focussed around the player's skill; playing the game will hopefully feel more like you're a doctor controlling a delicate scanner (whilst also under pressure to hit targets and save patients, and survive the story ;) )

Anyway, thanks again for your patience (and of course your lovely support for the game :) )

We're on the home stretch!

Rich

Description

Release date: March 2015

Welcome, Doctor...

SORS is a sci-fi doctor simulator where you must help diagnose patients whilst someone is hacking the hospital and disrupting your shifts. Interact with your colleagues and make decisions via email. The choices you make, like who to trust, affect the outcome of the game, which challenges you face and what help you get.

Inspired by Papers, Please, SORS gives you increasingly challenging tasks during your shifts with patients, alongside a narrative that explores the tough moral decisions that face a doctor in this future, where the human population of the earth has grown to breaking point. Mankind now lives in skyscrapers that cover the earth, and prisoners are condemned to live aboard floating prison ships so they don't take up valuable room for law-abiding citizens.

Game features:

6 different endings based on player choice
Depending on player choice, gameplay varies and different challenges are experienced
Chat to patients to reduce complaints
Inspired by real science. Information in the game is based on real disease/treatment information

I just had my first view of this. I am sad I missed it since it got on Steam or even before. Look forward to your release!

@info - thanks for the feedback. Yeah actually a couple of doctors played it and have said the same thing - you need to talk to the patient etc to get feedback. Unfortunately as this is a game I've had to tweak things slightly so it's quicker and easier to play!

I'm about to add a post above now that we're greenlit - but yes I'm thinking about putting something like easy mode in, to help people with the scanning part. All suggestions welcome!

I like the game, however:
usually doctors talk to the patient first to gather syptoms etc. in order to decide which tests to perform and also if the patient is really sick or just pretending
also doctors usually only get paid when they perform an action like surgery, prescribing a drug, etc. and if they screw up they get paid more because complications require more work ;)

Havent played long enough because im a bit clumsy with the scanning part but thats just a mini game anyways, maybe you can remove it completly (optionally) and just give people a lab report to read and analyze

I purchased it at Indie Game Stand & enjoying playing it. I like how it's story driven via checking your in-game emails.
