Heart's Medicine - Hospital Heat Review
Heart's Medicine - Hospital Heat is the third installment in the Heart's Medicine series by GameHouse, continuing the story of Allison, a young doctor navigating hospital drama, romance, and personal challenges. The game blends time management gameplay with a soap-opera-style storyline filled with emotional twists and character development. Players attend to patients across various hospital departments, completing mini-games that vary in challenge and style. The graphics are colorful and charming, maintaining the series' signature cute animation style. The soundtrack is well-received, adding to the immersive atmosphere.
While the gameplay remains engaging and addictive, some players find it repetitive over time, and certain mini-games can be frustratingly difficult. The storyline, although praised for its drama and emotional depth, divides opinion due to melodramatic elements and some plot points feeling less believable.

The game offers around 10-20 hours of playtime, with achievements and apartment customization adding replay value.
