Hospital - Games

Hospital settings in games serve as versatile narrative and gameplay hubs. They often represent vulnerability, healing, or corruption—from survival horror's abandoned wards to management sims' bustling ERs. Design-wise, hospitals provide constrained spaces for tension, procedural generation of medical emergencies, and moral choices about triage. Symbolically, they explore themes of mortality, institutional power, and the thin line between care and control, making them a recurring stage for player agency and ethical reflection.
