addedWe made a wholesome game!?For those who’ve played our previous games, you’ll notice a change in tone, and there’s a reason for that. This game was conceived during the height of the pandemic. Initially, we were going to channel that into a dark mystery, just like our other games, but we struggled to make it fun. Maybe it was because neither of us had the mental capacity during those uncertain times. Eventually, we tried a different angle. We added a cast of colorful characters, including a smack-talking dolphin (don’t ask); that’s when we knew we’d hit the right note.
changedWe made a wholesome game!?So please enjoy this demo! Tell your friends, smack that wishlist button, etc. etc. — and thanks for your continued support. 🙏

FINALLY we can show you what we’ve been working on for these last few years! It took a bit longer than we planned, based on our usual game release schedule, but now you can see what we've been cooking!

We would love, love, LOVE for you to give the demo a try. It'll show you about 30 minutes of what the game has to offer — the frantic action, the upbeat humour, and the loveable cast of characters we've created for you.

Some notes about the demo:

  • A DualSense, DualShock, or Xbox controller is recommended (there's some weirdness with Switch Pro controllers right now that will be fixed)

  • The demo can be played in up to native 4K!

  • There may be some weirdness with windowed mode right now; we'll fix that too

  • The demo lets you fail treatment scenes with no penalty; we just want you to have fun; you can stress out in the full game

We made a wholesome game!?

We're super excited that Neo Harbor Rescue Squad joins the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration. 🎉
