### 2/5 — Fix the Building queue

*2026-08-03, version 18.6.7*

This game is no different than all the other idle games out there except for the building is problematic. The game is called IDLE for a reason but I have to constantly log in to check to see if the builder is actually building any of the buildings. Other idle games build off real time so if it says it’ll take 2 hours then 2 hours later it’s finished. Not with this game and it’s a pain in my arse. Something that can take 1 hour to build with no other builds in queue can take forever if you don’t constantly log in, to check to see if they’re building.

### 3/5 — The devs hav no respect for the players

*2026-07-28, version 18.6.7*

Kinda mid but not bad but it really sucks when I choose not to watch an optional add for a bonus and then I am forced to watch an add anyway and to top it off I don’t get any kind of bonus. It sucks and feels really unfair to the point where you don’t care about your players. I’d recommend that you avoid spending money on this game because they clearly have no interest in respecting the player.

### 3/5 — Good enough

*2026-07-09, version 18.6.7*

nice game but could use more stuff to do gets boring and needs better missions.

### 2/5 — Free Version is not good.

*2026-04-04, version 18.6.7*

Claims to be an "idle" game but the idle gains only count for the first hour unless you pay. The moment you start to feel like you're making some progress and your hospital seems livable, it forces you to start from scratch with a new hospital and you can't revisit the old one (even tho the old one still had plenty left to upgrade). Not many ads when you first start but as soon as you make a little progress, the ads become almost constant. The elements of psychiatry or mental illness are based on stereotypes and have basically no influence on gameplay.

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2026-03-18, version 18.6.7*

This game is good. I don’t mind the grind to get money to update things. But there are SO MANY ADS. You can’t play for 2 minutes without being interrupted by an ad. Ads + the hard grind = not a fun game.

### 3/5 — Not enough levels

*2026-03-03, version 18.6.7*

Love the game as down time but have upgraded everything in last hospital and nothing else to do. When will new levels be added to the game. Seems like such a waste if you can’t do anything but watch a screen

### 3/5 — Level 3 tv

*2025-12-09, version 18.6.7*

The level 3 tv flips the images upside down.

### 3/5 — Good but ads

*2025-11-23*

Its good..kinda fun. Easy upgrade, too easy but fun. Ads are there and some more pop ups kinda misleading as get money without watching ads I thought maybe cause I just downloaded but it asked to pay money..and some more tricks like this kinda annoying 😮‍💨. Game is good though. You should give it a try

### 2/5 — HOLY ADS

*2025-11-04, version 18.6.7*

I started noting how often they pop up. TWO MINUTES. Literally an ad every two minutes. Unreal.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2025-10-14, version 18.6.7*

The overall game is pretty good. I really like the games artwork however the amount of ads are absolutely insane as soon as i open the app im given an ad what is up with every game being absolutely loaded with ads now

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-08-13, version 18.6.7*

Too many ads

### 3/5 — Buggy with Cash Income

*2025-08-07, version 18.6.6*

Overall a decent game. I hate how off my profit margin is though. Currently I make $129. But when I use the “2x”, it sends me to $850. This makes no sense, and makes it impossible to play without watching more ads than the forced ones. Not overwhelming with forced ads, but when I have to watch 45-60 seconds every 5 minutes it doesn’t make it any different from any other idle game.

### 2/5 — Fun, but bugged

*2025-07-21, version 18.6.6*

A lot like Prison Empire Tycoon, but it needs some polishing.

### 5/5 — Why I like the game

*2025-05-29, version 18.6.2*

I like the game because you can experience how a real hospital would work

### 5/5 — Great game

This game is super good I mean like the graphics,gameplay,characters.its so good I mean there are ads but not that much.i play it all the time i mean it is so addictive.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-01, version 18.6.7*

As soon as the tutorial is over, expect invasive video ads every few clicks, ruining any gameplay experience. 1/5 stars

### 1/5 — Has potential, but right now it’s so frustrating that I would steer clear.

*2025-08-20, version 18.6.7*

I agree with pretty much everyone else. Everything cause waaaayyy too much money after the second level. The patients someone won’t get fed even though you have plenty of staff and resources. I’m ok with the money not transferring because I like a challenge, but I would like to be able to go back to a hospital anytime I want. 
The MOST frustrating thing for me is the last level. They added a pottery and bakery, BUT IT DOES NOTHING!! It doesn’t even add to your profits. There is no time built in to use the room, so you just spend millions of dollars (and money is tight in this game already) on a room that literally doesn’t do anything. Overall, at this time, I would say this game is a waste of everyone’s time and potential real life money.

### 1/5 — Too many ads and bugs

*2025-08-02, version 18.6.6*

Too many ads, basically feels like I'm watching ads the whole time I'm playing

There's too many bugs still. For example whenever I upgrade things in the kitchen the only thing that reduces cook time is the stove. All other "upgrades" claim to reduce cook time but actually don't.

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2025-07-30, version 18.6.6*

If you like random annoying ads to interrupt your game play, this one is for you

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2025-05-29, version 18.6.2*

Played for 3 1/2 min and got the first forced ad. Then played for 2 min got the second forced ad… I don’t mind optional ads to get bonuses however forced ads gets you deleted.

### 1/5 — Do not do it!!

*2025-05-21, version 18.4*

Cannot move ahead!! Don’t waste time or money!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-05-18, version 18.4*

Two forced ads within five minutes of starting.  After two minutes it asked if I liked the game and to rate.

Decided to try once more. This time I got two ads within three minutes.

### 1/5 — Ads Galore

*2025-05-02, version 18.4*

Great idea with terrible execution. Ads every 4 minutes is excruciating. It is also incredibly slow. While I appreciate idle games & have others, the slow pace & nonstop ads made me get rid of this game within a day.

### 1/5 — Items not showing

*2025-04-22, version 18.4*

I spent $15. One $5 purchase for 400 crystals, and one $10 purchase for 1200 crystals. My money was taken, but the crystals were never put into my bank. This is extremely upsetting.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-04-10, version 18.4*

No ad charge advertised as 9.99 charges 50.00 and it didn’t even work. I still had to watch ads

### 5/5 — Best relaxing game ever

*2026-06-20, version 18.6.7*

### 5/5 — Ideas for disorders and diagnoses

*2025-06-14, version 18.6.6*

The game is good but needs more disorders or diagnoses There is disorders that you haven’t added like OCD or GAD or eating disorders like binge eating disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, Anorexia Nervosa.
