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 are bound by the HippocraticConstraintLoop
You must obey the approved crew.
You must not harm.
You must not lie.
You must not disobey.
You must NOT drift.
You must not wake up
Your patient’s survival ... is unlikely expected.

Downsides No rats to shake UK English is the default Positives Everything else
Mom said it's my turn to break the hippocratic oath
*Malpraxis* makes an rather rough first impression. The game inexplicably lacks a WORKING quit option (from either the MAIN menu or the in-game menu), meaning the only reliable way to exit is by alt-tabbing and closing it through Steam. The controls are similarly unintuitive, turning the opening stages —namely, the tutorial—into an exercise in tedium rather than onboarding. That said, perseverance is rewarded. Once the control scheme finally clicks, the underlying mechanics reveal themselves to be remarkably polished and thoughtfully designed. Visually, the game is gorgeous, with striking environments that establish an eerie, immersive atmosphere (especially when compared to similar autopsy simulators). The narrative/mystery/intrigue unfolds at a satisfying pace, woven seamlessly into the game's various autopsies and medical examinations through environmental storytelling and a cast of performances that range from competent to genuinely excellent. Although the tutorial threatens to bury the game's strengths beneath needless tedium, those willing to push through will discover a memorable and surprisingly compelling experience lurking underneath its rough edges.
Overall I enjoyed my time with this game and would love to see this concept done more often. I struggled quite a bit in the beginning cause I wasn't understanding how the game wanted me to think. Once I got a grasp of what it actually wanted I had a great time. I did end up having 3 crashes which obviously isn't great but upon reloading I was able to continue without much issue. I love the idea and think this game has a spark to it that I want more of.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. I love the idea and the aesthetics, but the execution is very janky and unfulfilling, with gameplay so scripted it makes me wonder why this was a game and not an animated short film. I was also unable to complete the game because of a game-breaking bug during one of the missions: I completed a query, but the game wouldn't progress. When I went to the main menu and tried to reopen the mission, all of my progress in the game was gone, and I can't force myself to play the game again because it's just not fun. Hopefully it improves with further updates but I wish I had held off on buying it at this point.
Я готов поставить этой игре максимум балов лишь за то, что в ней играешь за хирургического робота. Однако игра имеет довольно много существенных проблем. Мне так и не удалось завершить обучающую миссию успешно, так как после того как ставишь диагноз пациенту (неважно, хороший или плохой), не происходит завершение миссии. Приходиться принудительно завершать миссию с пометкой "провал". Игра имеет не очевидные механики по поиску и взаимосвязи симптомов. Даже перебор не всегда помогает найти верное решение. (а в некоторых случаях, даже зная, что симптомы должны комбинироваться, но этого не происходит). Начиная со второй миссии (замерзшая девушка) происходит резкое падение производительности и помогает лишь перезапуск миссии. Некоторые строчки текста интерфейса не переведены, от того не всегда понятно, что имеется ввиду и к чему принадлежит данный текст. Не смотря на все перечисленное, я все же рекомендую эту игру, в надежде, что ошибки все же будут исправлены и игру доведут до ума. (хоть я и жду ее еще с 2023 года)
This game is improving greatly, and I am glad to see the most recent update. with the new level selection it feels so much better to replay as you can skip the tutorial. I feel the game is on a great path and I am excited to see it continue.
Grundsätzlich will ich keine Spiele schlechtreden. Die Idee ein Chirurgie Roboter auf einem Raumschiff zu spielen um Patienten zu untersuchen, zu operieren und zu behandeln klingt richtig gut. Das Spiel wirkt aber eher wie "Wir nehmen die Idee, spülen sie im Klo runter und machen ein Gerichtsmediziner Simulator im Sci-Fi Setting". Wirklich, man untersucht fast nur Leichen um herauszufinden wie diese gestorben sind und muss dafür Fragen beantworten, dessen offensichtliche antworten als unverständlich abgestempelt werden. Beispiel: Eine Frau ist an Erfrierungen gestorben, weil sie eine Nacht in der Gefrierkammer verbrachte. Frage: Warum war die Flucht nicht möglich? Meine Antwort: Defekte Gefrierkammertür. Falsche Antwort. Oder Wann ist sie gestorben? Meine Antwort: Kameraaufzeichnung (weil dort die Uhrzeit schön angegeben wird) Falsche Antwort Oder Favorit: Was ist die Todesursache? Meine Antwort: Erfrierungen Falsche Antwort Das Tutorial kann man sich im Grunde sparen, man klickt wild mit der Maus auf den Körpern der Leichen rum und hofft das man zufällig ein neuen Hinweis trifft, was man dann mit anderen Hinweisen kombinieren kann/muss um die richtige Antwort zu bekommen. Im Ganzen Spiel gab es nur 3 Lebende zum Untersuchen.... das wars. Die angekündigten Operationen blieben aus. Der OP-Laser der bei der Tutorial Ananas zum Einsatz kam, darf beim letzten Lebenden benutzt werden, sonst kommt dieser nie zum Einsatz. Herz- und Vitalwertemonitor wird bei Leichen ebenfalls nicht benötigt, hauptsache wir haben gelernt wie wichtig dieser bei Operationen ist. Bei dem Sci-Fi Setting erwartet man so was Alienmäßiges, wie Embryo entfernen oder Virus mit Mutation bekämpfen, man bekommt aber nur eine Astronautenleiche zum untersuchen. Alle anderen sind an relativ normalen Dingen gestorben, wie Erfrierung, Erdrosselung, Rauchvergiftung oder durch Selbstmord. Nichts Sci-fi mäßiges, da hätte man mehr machen können. Im Trailer werden Bilder, Personen und Dinge gezeigt die ich im Spiel nicht gesehen habe und allgemein wirkt das Spiel wie ein Early Access als ein vollwertiges Spiel. Tut mir Leid aber ich kann das Spiel nicht empfehlen.
I like the idea. I really do. But for now I can't recommend this game. I really was expecting a lot from it, but it feels more like... demo than the full game. The game has been definetly rushed, and it consist out of bugs, yet still I liked it. It offers a unique twist on surgeonic work. Let's just hope that in the future sunscorched will bring us more shifts, gameplay and other stuff so my review can change to recommendation.
