Black Lantern Collective, HMS Studios, and NerveLabs are dropping their own version of Surgeon Simulator in the upcoming Angel Engine. And if you’re eager to give it a try ahead of its release later this year, the demo is now available on Steam.
Based on the analog horror web series by The Unearthly Guy, Angel Engine the game explores a missing chapter of the eponymous series. Set in a dystopian future where heaven has been ransacked, a crew of scientists makes their best effort to save the human race from damnation.
At your operating station, you’re tasked with identifying and correcting deformities on bodies that come into your care. As subjects present incredible risk, you must perform these tasks from a safe distance, using a mechanical arm outfitted with an array of tools to treat their wounds. Your patients won’t stay under for long, so you have to move quickly and be ready to apply a fresh round of anesthesia if you need additional time. Never let them wake up.
You must assess each patient’s wounds and choose the right tool to correct them, engaging in distinct mini-games for each device. You’ll also need to maintain your equipment. Your machinery is prone to overheating, and fuses are likely to blow. It doesn’t matter how good of a surgeon you are if you run out of oxygen, after all. All the while, check your emails– or someone’s emails, at least. Learn things you aren’t supposed to know.
