Goodbye Credits, Hello Poverty!

Greetings Directors!

This Galacticare Wednesday we’re robbing you of your credits and free items and there’s nothing you, or your silly little Medibots can do. In the imminent Challenge Mode update, we're hitting you where it hurts the most: right in the budget!

In the interest of keeping things, well, interesting, players will now experience financial hardships, setbacks and even bankruptcy. You’ll need to balance your books, pinch the pennies and cut corners like never before!

While we’ve chosen to make things difficult, YOU are ultimately responsible for the downfall of your hospital. Failing to keep your swarms of patients alive, cleaning up the filth they leave behind, training staff, updating and adding new facilities, and maintaining your hospital rating will lead you to your inevitable doom.

Freebies, in this economy?! If only! No, Baz is depressed, and he’ll be keeping his precious gifts to himself. No more free holo-docs for you, sadly.

Unfortunately, the more capable doctors have decided to resolve their student debt elsewhere. You’ll have to train high-skilled doctors yourself – or directly pipe the required experience into their panicked brains.

But it’s not all miserable news; If you can actually survive Chapter 1, you’ll unlock The Research Lab, Training Room, Recovery Ward and Craftech upgrades immediately. We’re sure that’ll make you deliriously happy!

Good luck, Directors!
- Brightrock & CULT
