Illness Care Story
Taylor is feeling unwell. Help her parents take her to the hospital, assist with the medical check-up, and learn how to care for patients.
About Illness Care Story
Illness Care Story is a comprehensive "Hospital-to-Home" medical narrative that focuses on the professional side of pediatric health. This game follows Taylor through a serious health scare, requiring a visit to the local clinic. It emphasizes "Diagnostic Logic," teaching players how doctors identify internal issues through physical exams and technology. The game provides a comforting, informative look at the medical process, designed to alleviate "Doctor Anxiety" in younger players by making the hospital experience feel like a structured, solvable puzzle.
How to Play
The story begins with a triage phase where you must describe Taylor's symptoms. Once in the exam room, use medical equipment like the otoscope (for ears) and the stethoscope (for lungs). A key feature is the "Laboratory Mini-game," where you must help the nurse analyze a sample to find the cause of the illness. After the diagnosis, you transition to the "Pharmacy Phase" to collect the prescription and finally back to Taylor's house to begin the "Home Recovery" routine. Each successful medical step earns you "Doctor Stars."
Tips & Tricks
Achieving a 100% "Medical Accuracy" score is the path to the high leaderboard. Pay close attention to the X-ray and Lab phases; selecting the wrong "germ" or "bone" during analysis will incur a time penalty. The pro tip for high scores is "Diagnostic Speed"—memorize the location of the medical tools on the tray to perform the check-up as fast as possible. Providing Taylor with her favorite toy during the "Painful" parts of the treatment (like a shot) will keep her mood meter high, resulting in an "Empathy Bonus."
