About
MALPRAXIS™ is a first-person, on-rails medical detective horror game focused on realistic visuals, objective-driven investigation and medical trauma.
You are the S.P.I.D.E.R, an experimental medical robot installed aboard the TRH Rusanov. As a cascade of suspicious incidents unfold, you must investigate, diagnose, and stabilise the crew as order breaks down across the ship.
You cannot stop what is happening. You can only piece things together as everything around you spirals out of control.
The time of ASCENSION dawns.
// PATIENT CRITICAL
Most of the time, patients land on your table when it is already too late. All you can do is to determine, how they died.
There are rare case, where you can intervene. Where you get the chance to prevent one more meaningful meaningless death.
In those cases, you have to pull out all the stops to keep your patients breathing.
Administer drugs to manipulate stabilise vital function
Deploy the defibrillator to hopefully restore cardiac activity
Use mission specific tools like the surgical laser where authorised
// PATIENT STABILISED
Diagnose their condition using a suite of medical systems:
Advanced "X-RAY" scanner with multi-layer imaging and pinpoint accuracy
High-resolution camera with up to 8x magnification
Blood sampling with full-spectrum analysis
Integrated investigation software
Identify the underlying issue, deliver your misdiagnosis diagnosis, and uncover the consequences of your actions in detailed post-operation reports.
// NEW QUERY UNLOCKED
The objective-driven investigation system guides you through diagnosis, emergency procedures, and the many autopsies you will perform.
Answer the queries asked of you by medical staff, patients, and third parties calling into the operating room.
S.P.I.D.E.R units do not make mistakes. Error tolerance is limited.
You are REINERSTAHL’s finest. Make us proud.
// REINERSTAHL Notice

You must obey the approved crew.
You must not harm.
You must not lie.

Clunky and confusing at times but the experience is exceedingly unique and well-worth a shot! Especially for the atmosphere, setting and voicework. The vibes are immaculate. With some touches of contextual refinement and better retry functionality I believe it could be one of the best medical-centric indie horrors of all time, even for the more picky palate!
I want to give a positive review. Im intrigued with the story and want to see how it continues. But as of right now im stuck in the radiation level. A bug seems to prevent this level from ending and im stuck with no queries to solve. Please fix as i cannot continue the game. I want to change my review to positive. Edit: I switched the review to positive, just because i love the idea of the game. It feels distopian and i never saw this kind of idea implemented in a game. But it definetly needs some work. It is about 5 hours of playtime (if you take your time) and rather feels like a promising demo. I hope the devs continuing the work and expand the product and hammer out the bugs. But just for the experience to be an evil OP Robot it was worth trying it out
Runs smoothly with a clear updated tutorial. It is a captivating sci-fi medical horror with an incredible attention to detail. The graphics and mechanics are truly amazing, I loved the laser!
the atmosphere and graphics are great - lots of detective work which i like - its my kind of game -👍
I may not have played the game in full, there's content in a screenshot I just haven't found. Though, the whole thing plays fairly linearly all the same. It doesn't feel incomplete, but feels pretty cut short. You don't really do any surgery, it's more investigation than anything. There are a lot of mechanics that seem like they haven't been utilized. I'm hoping it gets more time to be developed, more operations are added, something. It's good even as-is, but doesn't do as much with the premise as advertising promises. Pretty confident there ARE multiple endings, but seeing one ending starts the game from the beginning.
Great Thinking-/PuzzleGame. As a Standalone Title for this Price, i would recommend. If they release even more Content over time, its even better. Keep up the good work, Sunscorched Studios
This game has a LOT of promise. I'm giving a good review as a deposit into the future of this game and this studio. It's great and runs smooth, but will need a few updates.
Really cool concept of a game! I thought the execution was pretty good as well. Sound design/music was awesome as you could really feel tension as vital signs started becoming a problem. The overall story is very interesting as well. Not so much a "horror" game than a med-sim/sci-fi, but I could certainly call this horror adjacent. Worth the time!
This game puts you in the seat of a doctor operating a remote surgical robot in a immersive story where you diagnose and solve problems with your patients, except... you don't. 99% of this game is spent scanning various organs and identifying problems, followed by a nonsensical detective game of match the symptoms where something as simple as "heavy bruising and discoloration of the knee, common in leg fractures" and scanning the bones results as "complete fracture of femur above the knee" are apparently COMPLETELY unrelated. I feel like this game has a lot of potential, but it doesn't live up to that potential at the time of this review.
update 3, finally finish the game and... ye fill like the game isn't fulling finish, i can tell the game is blan to have more stuff in it but look like it isn'T there, knowing the "Negative Atmosphere: Emergency Room Prototype" has lot of stuff with show you can do as spider bot, it look like they have been cut off or... idk. seeing also the game has score bord with give you review how well you doing give the sighn there is a challen mode but again idk the ideas, seeing how the game ending didn't fill like ending. i hope there more of this games because i was into ideas when "Negative Atmosphere: Emergency Room Prototype" but seeing how it becaume... idk
