Based on the web series by The Unearthly Guy, Black Lantern Collective, HMS Studios, and NerveLabs’ Angel Engine is now available on Steam. The video game adaptation explores a missing chapter of the eponymous series, and tasks you with healing the wounds of increasingly deformed patients while all the equipment you rely on begins to break down.
As an intern with no supervision, you’re left in charge of a remote surgery station in the Babel 2 research facility with little more than video tutorials and the occasional friendly, but unhelpful, check-in from the security officer on night watch. As patients are brought to you on an assembly line, you must quickly assess their wounds, choose the right tools, and succeed in distinct mini-games before their anesthesia wears off.
As if your mysterious subjects weren’t dangerous enough, everything around you is prone to breaking down. In the midst of operations, you’ll need to recalibrate equipment, keep systems from overheating, and replace fuses essential to keeping your tools running and oxygen flowing. Oh, and there’s some holy water in the drawer.
The more operations you complete, the more things start to go wrong. Can you survive long enough to find out what’s going on here, or will the pace and panic ultimately be your doom?
And if you’re on the fence about buying the game, you can always check out the demo.
