Inspired by the trolley problem. WARD is a medical triage game that places you in the role of a surgeon on a single, overburdened night shift. You have one operating theatre, one chance per round, and multiple patients who need your attention.

Patients arrive in the emergency ward. You must review their cases—their condition, their chance of survival, the life they live outside this hospital—and choose one to operate on. The others will wait. Their conditions may worsen. They may die.

Built in two and a half days on no sleep using pygame and python.

The biggest challenge was finishing in a short time span. We are proud that we managed to get it together and submit a completed game in time!

We learnt how to work collaboratively successfully, assigning sections to break down and tackle a complex problem.

AI was used to generate patient data into json format. Dialogue, including backgrounds of characters, quotes and family moments were generated using google gen AI.

WARD will probably never get updates or maintenance. But it was fun working on it!
