Works in the magical girl genre rarely depict the medical complications that follow the heroines\u2019 battles, but in Magical Girl ER<\/strong>, this side of things is not only at the forefront, but experienced from the doctor\u2019s perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed and published by Japanese illustrator and VTuber noranuco<\/a>, this upcoming light horror medical simulator has you playing as the temporary head of an emergency hospital for magical girls who have been injured in kaiju attacks. You have one week to run the hospital, during which you must admit, examine, and treat patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the emergency hospital has limited rooms, your first order of business is to choose who gets treatment and who gets turned away. Before admission, you can view a potential patient\u2019s mortality rate, registration category, date of arrival (should you choose to accept them), and fame. Fame is connected to the hospital\u2019s reputation and the game\u2019s endings. The more famous a magical girl is, the more the hospital\u2019s reputation will rise (if she survives) or fall (if she dies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a patient is admitted, you must\u00a0carefully\u00a0check their physical condition\u00a0by using\u00a0medical\u00a0devices\u00a0like a thermometer and\u00a0stethoscope.\u00a0You\u00a0can also\u00a0talk to\u00a0the patient,\u00a0check their records,\u00a0appearance, and\u00a0use other clues\u00a0to find out as much as you can\u00a0about them.\u00a0Magical girls suffer from more than just fevers and colds,\u00a0however,\u00a0and will\u00a0exhibit\u00a0unique symptoms, such as\u00a0poisoning\u00a0and\u00a0magical energy contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the information and clues\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0gathered, you can make a diagnosis and start treatment.\u00a0There are several treatment options, ranging from a simple bandage to full-on surgery.\u00a0But just\u00a0because you treated a patient\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0mean your diagnosis\u00a0was\u00a0correct, and\u00a0medical malpractice can affect the hospital\u2019s reputation.\u00a0All of\u00a0your decisions – including which patients you admitted and what treatments you administered – affect the fate of the magical girls, the hospital\u2019s reputation, and which of the game\u2019s multiple endings you will receive at the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have noticed a distinct lack of kaiju in the promotional materials. Since most of your time is spent in the hospital, much of Magical Girl ER\u2019s lore comes in the form of conversations\u00a0with patients, newspaper articles, and the story endings.\u00a0In this way,\u00a0the game incentivizes multiple playthroughs\u00a0so you can get\u00a0the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
