Being a doctor is hard enough with ghosts and living growths to deal with, so the traveling surgeon in Wunderdoktor certainly has quite a curious magical challenge to overcome while traversing the game's cursed fantasy world, filled with charming residents with all manner of gross illnesses to cure.

From within your medical buggy, you are greeted with various patients while traveling across the country, each suffering from some mysterious illness. But these ailments are far from a simple cough or rash; ghostly figures emerge from skulls, spider creature emerge from boils, clouds of insects pester and bite, eyeballs dangles, heads roll. While that may sound ghoulish, Wunderdoktor presents it all with whimsy and charm and a colorful aesthetic.
Curing these diseases is done through mechanics reminsicent of Papers Please and similar games; using specific rules and carefully matching symptom with method while being careful to follow procedure. Fast and frantic, you'll be deciding which pills to prescribe, popping pimples, slicing with scalpels, as more and more procedures and symptoms are introduced and your available time for each patient decreases. With each patient and illness cured, you'll learn more about them, the world, and even encounter special mini-missions that reveal more about Wunderdoktor's fantastical characters.

Wunderdoktor is available for $9.99 on Steam; you can also learn more from the developer's Twitter, Facebook, and blog.
