Gameplay

Hysteria Hospital tasks users with coordinating the management of a hospital. The goal of the game is to accumulate money over time by serving patients. Users can purchase new equipment such as X-Ray machines to meet the demands of their patients. Main gameplay elements involve diagnosing patients, and moving them to the applicable local facilities if available (or the ambulance to get sent elsewhere). Patients are moved by dragging them to different areas. A nurse is controllable by clicking on objects, and performs chores such as fetching prescriptions, making beds and cleaning waste.

Reception

The game was met with mixed reception upon release. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 51% and 45 out of 100 for the DS version, [2] [5] and 50.30% and 53 out of 100 for the Wii version. [3] [4]
