Heal hospital patients by pressing one button exactly on the seventh beat of their heartbeat, in a rhythm game with a warm story.
Who can play
- Shared-screen play for 2 players on PC and Xbox.
- No online play on any platform.
- One copy is enough with Remote Play Together on PC.
How it plays
A second player can join locally for any level of the story: each controls their own patient's row with one button, and some levels are reworked for two.
It is demanding and suits two people who both enjoy precise timing.
There is no online mode; Steam Remote Play Together is possible, but timing suffers over the internet.
