CULT Games :
12th September, Brighton, UK - Today, UK based developer Brightrock Games and publisher CULT Games announce the FREE addition of a brand new Challenge Mode in sci-fi hospital management simulator Galacticare, available on Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Xbox Series X/S. Update coming soon to PlayStation 5!
Watch the free update trailer here:
Go toe to toe with the grim reaper themself as your hospital bows under the weight of death like never before. In the all new Challenge Mode, every mechanic has been skyrocketed to disastrous levels of intensity.
“Challenge Mode is our response to our player’s masochistic requests for more difficulty, suffering, and general misery,” said Josh Bishop, Creative Director and co-founder at Brightrock Games. "It’s been built to be unforgiving and push players to utilise their full toolset, it’s intended for those who want their Galacticare experience to have a little more bite to it.”
In this all new FREE update, hardcore hospital gamers can now experience:
It's mutating!: Welcome deadly new strains as the conditions you’ve learned to cure now mutate to be incredibly infectious and highly fatal! Make sure to put your nerds into the Research Lab to find the cure and keep fatalities to a financially-tolerable minimum while you work on the cure.
Ready or not, here they come: Patients are swarming into the sanitised halls of your hospital, and their numbers are only increasing! Disruptive and inconsiderate, requiring rooms you haven’t yet built, choking your hospital corridors with queues… Good luck, Director.
Anyone got a spare body bag?: With patients arriving on their last legs (or tentacles), their health will deteriorate much faster. You’ll need your full suite of treatment tools to save them, especially now that treatment difficulty has increased, requiring happy, high-level doctors to keep patients consistently alive (and able to pay you!)
A hard knock life: By 2049, patients are flat broke. Income from treatments is reduced, the traveling merchant is far less generous with freebies and Level 3 doctors can no longer be recruited directly. You’ll have to train them yourself.
Actions have Consequences: Lose too many patients and have your hospital snatched by the “Space Cops”. Oops!
Challenge yourself to thrive under catastrophic conditions. Succeed and achieve a shiny set of gleaming golden trophies to remind you of all the patients who died for your success!

United in a shared passion for the oft-overlooked dungeon management genre, Subterranean Games released War for the Overworld on PC, Mac and Linux in April 2015. With this critically acclaimed and successful game under their belt, the company name was updated to Brightrock Games to better reflect the team’s broadening horizons. Brightrock Games’ goal is to create genre-twisting strategy management games that tell engaging stories and push the medium forwards.
