Two Point Hospital
From the creators of Theme Hospital comes a brand new business sim with so much crammed into it, you might need to sit down... or lay down, whichever you're not currently doing!

Help optimize your hospital design to increase patient (and cash) flow, arranging corridors, rooms and waiting areas to your exact specifications.
Expand your hospital to multiple buildings as you look to get as many patients through the door as possible. Gamers will encounter some weird and wonderful illnesses to deal with - everything from light-headedness, where patients have lightbulbs for heads, to Mock Star, when patients think they’re the next Freddie Mercury.
