Become a Nurse

Acne, head lice, and pink eye walk into your clinic—how fast can you treat them all and send each patient home smiling?

You're the nurse on duty in a clinic that handles the kind of gross-but-satisfying cases most doctor games skip. Three patients shuffle in with acne, head lice, and pink eye, and it's on you to figure out each treatment. The tools are simple but oddly satisfying: dab cream on pimples, comb out nits one by one, flush infected eyes with drops. There's no timer rushing you, so you can actually enjoy the methodical process of making each patient feel better. I found myself oddly invested in the louse combing. You have to drag the comb through virtual hair, and each nit pops off with a tiny click. It's gross in the best way. The acne part is less dramatic—just apply ointment to red spots—but it's relaxing. The conjunctivitis treatment is the trickiest because you need to be gentle with the eye drops, and if you're too hasty the patient winces. The reactions are cute without being saccharine. Graphically it's bright and cartoonish, clearly aimed at kids who like caring games, but it's genuinely playable for anyone in a low-stakes mood. You won't find time pressure or fail states; it's more about following the steps and feeling competent. It could do with a bit more variety—after a couple of rounds you've seen everything—but as a quick dose of feel-good nursing, it does the job. If you liked Baby Hazel or clinic games, this scratches a similar itch.

Treat and pain such as: acne, louse, conjunctivitis,

Start with the head lice patient first; the combing takes the longest, and you'll want that done before the others get impatient. For pink eye, tilt the patient's head back slightly and use the dropper from above—fast clicks spill the drops and force a redo. On the acne stage, don't just click every blemish; apply the cream in small circular motions until each spot fades completely. Watch the patient's expression after each step—if they still look uncomfortable, you missed something and should recheck. No time limits, so take your time with the louse comb; every nit you miss stays until you catch it.
