Galacticare, a simulation game set in a medical centre, will debut a demo next week as part of Steam Next Fest.
Galacticare is a management video game developed by the independent studio Brightrock Games. Players are tasked with overseeing a hospital in a galaxy teeming with exotic life — and alien conditions.
The game’s release date, platforms (PC (Steam and GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox consoles), and Xbox Game Pass were all revealed several months ago.

I was able to see the demo ahead of schedule, and it’s a funny, natural, and sarcastic experience.
The demo features multiple stages where players can practise fundamentals of management. As you might expect, this entails designing treatment areas and collaborating with medical professionals to treat incoming patients; decorating the healthcare facility with parody posters and strange flora; and ensuring perfect satisfaction among workers and patients while staying within budgetary constraints.
This is achieved via well-organized options that make it easy to dive right in and start building. Health care AI H.E.A.L. supply centre goals.
Galacticare, like Two Point games, injects a strong dose of sarcasm into its gameplay, but the space setting really lets the designers stretch out. Space Invasion, in which the customer is transformed into a cosmic figure and must undergo skin reconstruction in a Skinlab; and Regolithic, in which the client is reduced to planetary deposits and must enter the Boning Chamber, where they are devoured by a monstrous metal beast.
Spacefright, or the fear of space travel, is one of the latter conditions, and it’s treated in a Dreamarium connected to a strange cosmic creature. Patients and doctors alike have absurd names and jobs, such as Internet Troll and Floor Licker. The jams from the 1980s add to the overall space vibe.
Away, out to Point Two. Galacticare differs from its apparent inspiration (and competitors) in a handful of key ways.
Away Missions are conducted away from the main hospital. In the beginning of the game, a huge alien with tentacles examines you and demands shuttle treatment. As a result, you can get your hands on cutting-edge goods. Each goal will take place in a unique context in which elements of the natural environment will influence the hospital’s operations. The second objective, for instance, takes place above a music festival, where revellers become infected with real metal heads and developments at the festival gradually enforce onto the treatment centre.
The plantlike Dyonai improve the mood of those around them, while the Saurian are hulking monsters requiring more space, and VIP specialists are irreversible additions across all objectives, including character and development, are just a few of the great details. Robots take care of the janitorial and reception duties so players can focus on hiring the best medical professionals.
Twiggy Pop, a pop sensation and wannabe doctor, was admitted to the hospital because she had Festicrosis. And here I was thinking the mud at Glastonbury was horrible…
From June 19th through June 26th, you can add Galacticare to your Steam wishlist and try out the trial.
