Hello guys!
It's been a while since I posted news about the game's development (well, not so much but I'm usually faster in releasing news), and that's because I underwent a big deal to deliver as much updates in-game as possible.
While work on 0.0.23 is undergoing as planned, we're also working to contents for 0.0.24 ("No Ordinary Family") as well, and those of you who read the roadmap to the final release will already know this means... "Claudia content!"
0.0.24 will feature a full romance playthrough with her, from the start of your relationship until its ending(s), based on your choices along the way. This also means that the game will end on April 30th, which is the last in-game day for the full release coming up on December. Of course activities from January to April will only be based on Claudia right now, but with each upcoming update this will change and all the other characters will be included as well!
Many gameplay features will be revealed in the upcoming weeks, but today I can introduce you to three different mechanics: jealousy, poligamy and household activities!
Jealousy is conceptually linked to poligamy: many players asked to be able to date more than one character at once. That will be possible, even though for gameplay reasons you will be able to live with one person at a time, while also dating others though.
Each character will then have a chance to "catch you red-handed" and behave accordingly. For example, if you are dating Rita and bring Christina to a date to the Icecream shop Rita's working in... well, you are not very smart!
However, even walking on the beach might trigger a random encounter with your (other) significant one, possibly leading to an argument thereafter.
Each character will react to this in his/her own different way. Erika might be understanding of you having a coffee with your relative, while Vanessa might understand your bond with Erika (after all you're working together), but Claudia might not like Rita at all and argue with you about her.
It's up to you to explore the different combinations, while also keeping an eye about your relationship with your significant other. If relationships falls too much you might be dumped and find yourself masturbating alone in your bed in no time!
Yes, because among other "household activities" you'll also be able to masturbate to get sexperience and more! The old "Relax" button will be replaced with a "Stay at home" button which will open up a new series of activities to perform at home:
- Relax to regain energy
- Play a musical instrument to increase your charm
- Spend some time with your romance (if living together)
- Study Medicine to increase knowledge
- Masturbate
- Have a shower
- Watch TV
- Watch a porn movie (choosing the genre from six different ones to meet your romance's taste which you have to guess)
- Play a videogame
Some players argued that having a shower takes a whole morning/afternoon/evening which is not realistic. This is a gameplay choice since the main option is "Stay at home" while the chosen activity is but a slice of what you did while staying at home. Since General Practitioner has 365 days of gameplay, thus about 1090 different daily choices throughout the game, having the player micromanage his time at home would have meant a big "grind-fest" we're not going to deliver, so that's why you can only choose one activity at a time. I hope you'll enjoy 0.0.24 and it's features and you keep having fun playing the game! Thank you for supporting the game! Be safe and healthy,

Live the everyday life of a General Practitioner: go to the clinic every day and meet new patients, develop your skills through study and manage your clinic and your staff. With dozens of items to buy and an always short budget will you be able to treat your patients in the best way?
Deep and engaging narration
General Practitioner features a very long and deep storyline which will take you in a world of mistery and deception. Explore the game's main story while enjoying the other activities available in town. The whole game contains more than 40 hours of gameplay and it's growing update after update!
You decide your own fate
Choices in dialogues and situations really matter! With more than 100 choices to make both in the Main Story and in medical exams you'll experience the consequences of your actions (and in-actions as well). You decide your own fate, do you have what it takes to be a General Practitioner?
Meet new people
The built-in romance system allows you to hang out with dozens of characters of both genders, jog with them at the local park, play a bowling game, relax at the local spa. If you are smart enough you can even make them fall in love with you and ask them to live together, unlocking special conversations and events with them.
You won't know if the date will go well or not, because that depends on fate (and your choices and comfort level of the other one). The more you build up your date's confidence the more chance of success you will have.
Each character you date has a pool different characteristics (i.e. people they like/dislike, favourite foods, informations about their family or job etc.). You'll randomly get to know a different characteristic each time a date will go well and, since they're random, they will be different each time you play General Practitioner or load a save game.
Each patient is different
With a pool of more than 90 scripted patients also comes a random examination system!
Simply put: each time you play the exams will be different. From a pool of 60 diseases and five different patient's archetipes (Children, Teenagers, Young Adults, Adults and Elders) you won't get the very same situation twice!
Medical accuracy
Developed with the help of a real MD, the game features medical informations that are accurate and up-to-date. Please do not take medical informations other than for having fun in the game. If you experience some medical concern ask your doctor as soon as possible.
Original Soundtrack
Ann Sharova (Zup6!, Just Ski, Ezmir: The Last War and many others) composed a soundtrack with 12 different scores to accompany you in your trip as Chief Practitioner of St. Mary's Clinic.
You can hear some work from Ann on her Youtube Channel , or on her SoundCloud . A Youtube reel is also available.
