Dear Doctors,
Since you took up your position, the Sanatorium has made several improvements based on your feedback.
Thanks to your participation in clinic governance, we have already implemented multiple improvements to the clinic’s work environment:
Patient Overview – Providing additional information during treatment.
Steam Deck Verified – You can now guide the healing of minds while traveling.
The Board has now approved a further clinic quality-of-life update focused on money balance, Endless Mode variation, and general stability.
This also includes improvements brought to our attention by you, such as Resolution and Screen Mode Options and Skippable Game Over Cutscenes.
These changes add new shop options, random money events, display settings, and several fixes to prevent progression and UI issues.
We remain grateful for your continued service and dedication. Please reach out to us on Discord, Steam, or our Subreddit with any feedback or questions.
