Developer Brave Lamb Studio and publisher Nacon released a third developer diary for War Hospital, with a more in-depth look over the numbers. That may sound bland and non-descriptive, but that's basically what you're looking at, as you'll be forced to do some math in this game. The team has put in a ton of economic mechanics that you'll have to contend with when it comes to staffing, supplies, casualties, and the results of what your particular hospital achieves in the middle of a war. Every decision you make comes with its own economic and moral impact on what happens around you, as they have gone out of their way to put a very realistic spin on managing your wing. Enjoy the video below as the game will be out on January 11.

War Hospital

The year is 1918. You are Major Henry Wells, a retired British combat medic, drafted back and thrown into the nightmare of World War I. Understaffed and undersupplied, you are the last bastion of hope for countless soldiers at the French Front. Treat horrible war injuries as the commander of a field hospital. Build a facility to heal them while the artillery shells explode ear-splittingly close. Use real WW1 equipment and see how your tools and methods evolve. Your choices will make a lasting impact. Build a micro-community of life-savers and survivors. Kindle hope in your staff and soldiers. Bring a speck of normalcy by inspiring periods of ceasefire. Play a war-themed game that celebrates life, not death, in War Hospital.

With this new cinematic trailer, players confront the harsh reality of war, where every choice is a fateful decision. In their role of attending to the sick and injured, players must choose the best way to treat soldiers' war wounds by managing the means at their disposal. Most of these decisions have immediate consequences for the injured, and the terrible events that are part of daily life in the trenches are not always predictable. As well as treating patients, players will need to make difficult decisions that impact staff morale, resource availability, and sometimes even the course of history. Thanks to the support that the British Imperial War Museums gave to the developers, the game faithfully reproduces the environment of the front and trenches and features the authentic medical equipment available at the time.
