Okay, so the main gameplay of this consists of a) simplified surgical procedures (and procedures I'm not 100% is the doctors' job but I digress) and b) high concept abstract minigames that are about managing the cast's emotions and doing often dodgy relationship gambits. These are given as much, if not more weight than any actual medicine, though I'm informed this is actually true to the show. I haven't watched any of it, so I wouldn't know.
The minigames take a ridiculously short amount of time and are interspersed by show-style cutscenes very frequently, often making you kind of wonder why it was necessary to do a minigame, but also there wouldn't be any game without them. The game's way of avoiding being a straight visual novel is by turning it into the world's silliest WarioWare game. They are fairly easy and you can only mess up if you mess up really badly or on purpose five times in a row, albeit they get slightly more complicated over time. One complicating factor is that the game stops showing you tutorials even when it keeps introducing new minigames, so sometimes I've lost a section because of confusion.
The story is, again, split between mostly the doctors' love lives and actual genuine hospital emergencies, but I get the sense that the choices you make in some of the minigames don't actually matter. The game even tells you "there's no wrong answer". The voice acting is okay, but the faces are a smidge too low-poly for me to be able to tell all the doctors apart. The music is unobtrusive but repetitive, but the game keeps repeating the same triumphant and light-hearted sound effects even when you complete tasks in tense situations with tense music, which is rather jarring.
And yet, despite all that, the fact that the minigames are just so short and in such rapid succession kept me thinking "just one more scene" and I think I played one third of it in one sitting. Oh, it's also longer than I expected.
In all earnest, I don't know if I can call this a good game, and yet here I am writing so much about it. The Desperate Housewives game had more substance, tbh. Yes, I've also played that, don't ask.
