About Surgeon Simulator

Surgeon Simulator lives up to its motto that malpractice makes perfect. If seven years of medical school never appealed, this over-the-top operation sim lets you skip straight to the table, stitching pitch-black humor together with all the supposed seriousness of life-saving surgery. You step into the shoes of Nigel Burke, a would-be surgeon with a fondness for decidedly non-conventional tools.

The operations get outlandish fast. Patients include The Heavy from TF2, an alien with a genuinely one-of-a-kind anatomy, and none other than the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump himself. The game is notorious for its diabolical controls, assigning each of your fingers to a separate keyboard button, which turns even the steadiest hands into a liability. You perform terrifying transplants in the operating theatre, high-pressure procedures out in the corridor, and operations on the move in the back of a speeding ambulance.

The 2017 update folds in the A&E expansion pack, bringing slicker and often stickier graphics, additional procedures, all-new environments, and a suitably heart-pumping soundtrack. An action-driven indie simulation, it offers PC players a darkly comic, deliberately clumsy take on surgery where steady hands genuinely will not save you, and the whole thing is happy to admit it had you at Trump.
