General Practice

General Practice is a cooperative simulation game where players work as staff at a general practice clinic, treating a steady stream of patients within a timed shift. Up to four players can take part together, using local co-op, online co-op, or a mix of both (couch and online play combined). When playing alone, an AI companion named nurse Gary fills in as a teammate.

Gameplay involves diagnosing and treating patients using a range of medical devices and machines, each with its own mechanics and operating quirks. Players must scan, mix, inject, and otherwise process patients, often under time pressure and increasing chaos as more patients arrive. The game includes over 50 maps and features unique patients with individual quirks that affect how they need to be treated.

Additional features include trinkets and equipment upgrades that can be collected or unlocked, along with cooperative elements such as coordinating tasks between players across the clinic. The game emphasises communication and teamwork among players as central to managing the clinic’s workload.
