If you are looking for a game that is a little more unique and offers a different style of gameplay from Angry Birds or Black Ops 2, you might be interested in Surgeon-Simulator 2013 developed by Bossa Studios.
In Surgeon-Simulator 2013, you are dropped into the shoes of Nigel Burke, an ordinary guy with no outstanding skills, forced to carry out a heart transplant. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
As Nigel, you need to use any tools available to you to carry out the procedure and successfully improve the patient’s condition. This game is a Global Game Jam 2013 entry.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Surgeon-Simulator 2013 is not your typical simulation game. The game features a revolutionary 1-to-1 finger manipulation control system, which means you control each of Nigel’s fingers individually. This adds a layer of complexity and realism to the game, making it both challenging and entertaining. The realistic surgical tool physics ensure that every movement you make has a direct impact on the operation, requiring precision and careful planning.
The game also boasts professional voice acting and a thumping soundtrack that keeps you engaged and on edge throughout the procedure. The goal is to complete the operation in the quickest time possible with minimal blood loss, which is easier said than done given the game’s intentionally clumsy controls.
