Gameplay
[edit] |
The game is separated into four separate chapters, dealing with the main story in an episodic format. Each chapter contains one or more of the following elements:
Exploring
[edit]The first type of gameplay is common to all Japanese adventure games. The main character, Tendo, explores an area, conversing with other people and furthering the story.
Diagnoses
[edit]When someone is sick or injured, the player may need to diagnose the patient and decide what is wrong with them.
Surgery
[edit]After diagnosing a patient, the player must perform surgery on them. During the surgery phase of the game, the player must perform a series of simple steps, one at a time, from disinfecting an area and making an incision, to the surgery itself, and finally closing the patient up. Unlike its sequel and Trauma Center, there is no time limit and it is less action oriented.
