The game is more than a little all over the place. Comically large corks in the wall, liver stealing doctors, a possible intermediate time looping protagonist, golden toilets, and door kicking nurses. The game certainly keeps you on your toes, and the sound design is excellent. The gameplay is fairly simple dodge the monster fair with a singe moderately interesting puzzle. I can't give it a ringing endorsement, but it's interesting at least.
A fun little lite-horror game that balances it's comedic elements well along side it's horror pretty well. Though it's never out-and-out scary (as someone who gets afraid at most horror games), there are some tense and unsettling moments interspersed within characters with goofy gimmicks, trash eating, and patients in desperate need of toilet paper. It does tow pretty close to the line of being too immature, it never crosses over, but there is some grace given with the fact that hospitals can easily be twisted into a truly disgusting place so it's more gross-out elements aren't unwarranted. As a game, Heilwald has some puzzles but most of the game boils down to the Outlast run-and-hide style of horror. There's some minor item collection to solve simple puzzles, and some trial-and-error pathfinding in regards to going back to stages to see how they can play out differently to progress to different areas, but on the most part you will be running away from the weirdos who make up the staff at this hospital. Heilwald is a short game and perfect for someone who can't handle too serious horror, with Halloween right around the corner this is a fun game to play with friends in a discord call.
Genuinely really fun, interesting game! My only actual complaint would be that the looping, while integral to the story (obviously with the name), did get tedious after a while especially if you kept dying to tasks that weren't new (I'm looking at Chef Sauer) The story was so interesting, character design, and voice acting too good to keep me from liking this game though. It has been recommended to me for years, and I'm glad I finally played it to check it out!
