Overal. I really love the game, atmosphere and mechanics BUT, they messed up the daily timer so much. Even with the addition of the 'chill mode'. When you start this game up, immediately on day 1 the clock starts ticking before you even properly had the chance to read through the instructions, there's a daily newspaper you can have a look at while your first patient is already knocking on the door. Could be me, as a non-native speaker who needs a liiiittle bit more time to soak everything in, but I feel punished for it. Now the choice is either 'chill mode', which i feel takes away all the timepressure and the real tension of the game or the 'classic mode' which is just too stressful. At least don't have the counter slow down at times when your patients and or leave the room or something or only count seconds when you actually flip a page in stead of just reading it. i'd still say the overal experience is positive though, but it won't make me do another playthrough

Okay time to jump in because i just can´t with some of these "non recommend" reviews. Everyone has a different taste and different reasons for liking and disliking, recommending or not recommending games, but some of these reasons are just absurd. So let´s start with the general review. Do No Harm is a type of Story-Driven Management game that somewhat dives down the same pipeline as Papers Please, Beholder or Not for Broadcast (if any of these mean something to you), gameplaywise probably most resembling Papers Please in the fact that the gameplay loop is sitting behind your desk, checking multiple guidelines/rules/patterns, making your decisions to finish your current case and then move on until at the end of the day you manage your expanses and go back to work. This type of gameplay loop, surrounded by the bigger narrative of the world we are set in makes for the charm of these games, and Do no Harm is no different. It´s something incredibly mundane, while permanently being made a plaything by something bigger than us. It´s a sense of hopelessness and a desperate try to find own agency in a world where everything seems premeditated. Where Do No Harm stands out and differs is it´s setting. Gone is the focus on dystopian political commentary, in is lovecraftian dark fantasy/horror. The gameplay IS repetetive but that is the POINT of these types of games. You are working your JOB. While the world revolves AROUND you. And you try to somehow make a difference, a choice from your very limited agency. In my opinion the game does a good job of throwing in the additions/slight changes to your gameplay loop at the right times to keep it moving throughout your first playthrough, enough charm to the characters, whose dialogue is very limited, to make you attached and enough mystery and options to keep you playing again. So overall, i highly recommend it, ending with adressing 3 of the main critiques i read here. 1) Bugs. Most gamebreaking bugs have been fixed in the first days after the release, i haven´t faced one yet. For achievement hunters: You are the only ones affected by bugs now as some of the trophys just don´t pop. 2) Difficulty. The only thing that is not explained exactly as it works come towards the end and while it is annoying it is ONE mechanic that you very quickly will notice works the opposite as written. Can´t go into detail since its a massive spoiler. If you then can´t follow instructions or read numbers on a circle i honestly call skill issue. 3) Performance. Okay i give you that, the performance can be shaky buuuuuuut since the gameplay is nothing that is majorly affected by drops of framerate for a few seconds i can personally gloss over that.

The people giving this game negative reviews largely seem to simply seem to be having a hard time grasping the game's mechanics, which is clearly part of the game's challenge- working out what means what, and how to correctly identify solutions to unknown ailments. If you read through the book the game gives you, and pay attention to what the patients are saying and how your tools work, you can absolutely cure your patients without issue. So far all the mistakes I've made were entirely my own fault in hindsight. I have yet to fail as a result of the game forcing me to gamble with lives. This game is quite immersive and the story feels compelling. The actions I make feel organic and the choices I make feel much more complex than "Do you do X or Y?", whether the game holds that depth or not it certainly feels like it does.

Game's a blast but super unbalanced in terms of logic to prevent losses due to bad luck, especially when you get to the part where you have to start mixing medications. I get that the idea is that you can't cure everyone but you reach a point where you can't even cure most of your patients in a day if they need high doses because you run out of everything and sometimes need to mix ALL FOUR medications at once. I know resource management is part of the game but I can't help but feel there should be some logic in place to prevent that and things like getting 4-5 hallucinations in a day when you only get 3 bottles of laudanum. Part of the reason other logic deduction games in this genre (papers please, not my neighbor, etc.) work is because they don't have resource management as a part of it. Imagine if you only got so much ink for stamps in papers please or could only open the door a certain amount of times in that's not my neighbor. That kind of tightrope walking just doesn't work when players already have to pay attention to so much. Especially when there are no options to upgrade your equipment, it stays the same throughout a playthrough outside of adding other things to keep track of for diagnosis...which you also have to pay for. I got to a point where I had a list of people I needed to give mixed medications too and the first patient of the day I got used two syringes of high dose medication and essentially wiped that entire bottle of medication out for the entire rest of the day which meant I couldn't get that list done. I got frustrated enough to close out of the game even though it was otherwise a relatively good experience. Game is overall great, the dev did a great job, but it could really use some balancing patches so it's not as random and dependent on good luck. If it were me I'd just get rid of the limited resources entirely or move that to a different harder game mode, IDK. I still think it was worth the money but I'm steamed enough about one bad early morning decision of not immediately knowing a correct high dose blowing an entire run that it will probably be a few days before I go back to playing.

I've seen demo plays of this game and didn't quite understood it, but got it because of the interesting premise. Once you start to play it, it gets more comprehensive. Basically you are playing a guessing game with your patients, trying to deduce what of four medicine you need to give them and in what dose: low (1-5) or high (6-9). The game gives you clues in ways of inspecting their bodies, looking at the previous medicine used and what effect it gave and looking at the wheel to compare the results. Once you understand the wheel, you will have easy time getting through the game, but I recommend you start at Chill mode (fixed patients per day) for that. Oh, you also need to keep yourself sane by finding out if and what strange things are happening in your office and drinking a concoction to save your sanity. Only minus I would give to the game is that at 4k resolution you can't see clues with magnifying glass. It is probably a bug and hopefully devs will solve it soon.
