Freddie Mercury impersonators have taken over the hospital waiting area, the clown clinic has caught fire and all of the janitors are busy vacuuming up the angry ghosts of deceased patients. And, of course, all of this chaos kicks off right when the mayor decides to visit. It’s a normal day in Two Point Hospital, where ridiculous disasters are constantly bubbling beneath the surface, but more often exploding all at once.

Amid the barrage of catastrophes there’s one golden rule: cure as many people as you can. To get the star ratings that will enable you to move onto the next mission, you’ll need to complete objectives. These range from making the hospital look fetching to finding a cure for being a mime, but you won’t be able to do that if you don’t focus on trying to keep everyone alive. Fail too many of the people relying on you and your reputation will suffer, stopping you from getting quality hospital staff and patients with fat bank accounts.

Initially, the juggling of tasks is kept to a minimum because there are only a few ailments that need your attention. This is in comparison to the later missions where you’ll have large-scale hospitals, epidemics and more bad jokes masquerading as diseases than you’ll be able to handle without running out of expletives. Even when you can focus on just a few problems, things still have a tendency to spiral.
