Watch the Release Trailer here:
From the creators of War for The Overworld comes Galacticare: a science-fantasy hospital management adventure featuring everyone’s favourite protagonist - privatised healthcare!
As Director of Galacticare, it’s up to you to cure the countless* (*49, actually) conditions that torment the minds and bodies of the galaxy’s population. Pack your various hospitals with spectacular rooms, doctors, bioluminescent grubs, and control every minute detail of your operation to direct the most successful hospital in space!
With unique species harbouring needs and traits, doctors with specific quirks, consultants with full skill trees, the ability to prioritise conditions and direct the flow of traffic, and many more mechanics, Galacticare offers an approachable management experience with rich systems.
You’ll take on emergency scenarios in orbit around volcanic planets, deep-space graveyards, and planet sized, psychic alien deities. You’ll get to know the very staff you hire as Galacticare takes you through not only the cosmos, but the stories of your ragtag team of outsiders from all across the galaxy – as well as the variously eccentric clients who’ll hire you.
The game features:
- Build Hospitals Unlike Any Other - Build the best place of healing you can amidst the stars by constructing treatment rooms, placing equipment, hiring staff, and customising your hospital to your heart’s content.
- Eradicate Disease... In Style - Upgrade and improve treatment technologies such as Cerebral Rehab, Projectile Medicine, and the Dreamarium – and keep up with the ever-increasing demands of interstellar health care!
- Get Good - Use every tool and tactic at your disposal to improve your Hospital Rating - the only metric that truly matters.
- Control Everything - Optimise patient health, take charge of hiring and firing, and intricately design your hospital in a way that satisfies your particular needs. Invest your profits wisely between research, expansion, and preparation for any unforeseen disasters.
- Face Disaster - Try desperately to keep people alive in scenarios like “an entire planet is on fire”, "evil technology is turning the universe into Pong", and “I can’t tell if that’s a God or not.” Do everything you can to help Galacticare flourish in a deranged universe!
- Cultural Outreach - From the Ohde, former conquerors who’ve retired so they can bugger about, to the industrious and heavily-modified Tenki, you’ll meet and treat seven distinct species, all with their own unique attributes.
- Immerse Yourself in a Rich Narrative - Galacticare’s narrative accompanies your gameplay; characters react to your performance, outcomes, and choices, and the Codex features evolving stories as your researchers attempt to understand the game’s many conditions
Welcome aboard, Director! With your guidance, this company might not fall to pieces the moment we leave Earth.

ABOUT BRIGHTROCK GAMES
Brightrock Games is a British independent game studio based in Brighton, UK, with a multinational core team of 15 people. Initially a small gathering of modders, enthusiasts and - most of all - gamers, the group first rallied under the banner of Subterranean Games, setting their sights on reviving a genre that AAA publishers had long neglected. 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.
