+# Chemo-Sim
+
+**A First-Person Simulator Where YOU Are the Patient**
+
+Welcome to the worst day of your life—but make it funny.
+
+## What is This?
+
+Chemo-Sim is a painfully accurate, darkly comedic first-person simulator that puts you in the hospital gown. Experience the full journey: the bad news, the IV drips, the hair loss, the existential dread, and the occasional absurd moment that makes you question reality.
+
+This is not a game about _beating_ cancer. This is a game about _being_ chemo'd. Every indignity, every side effect, every surreal hospital hallucination—all yours to experience.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> This game contains brutal honesty wrapped in dark humor. If you find cosmic absurdity funny while facing human suffering, you're our people.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Hyper-realistic symptom simulation** – Nausea, hair loss, taste changes, chemo brain, the works
+- **Minigames from hell** – Throw up accurately, hold a conversation while foggy, eat food that tastes like pennies
+- **Medical accuracy meets comedy** – Our research was thorough; our jokes are darker
+- **Multiple chemo regimens** – Different drugs, different side effects, different routes to suffering
+- **Hospital environments** – Waiting rooms, treatment centers, home isolation—all the glamour
+- **Unlockable dark humor** – Easter eggs, absurd internal monologues, meme-worthy moments
+- **Accessibility focus** – Because chemo patients are already struggling; this game shouldn't be
+
+## Why This Exists
+
+This started as a joke. Then we realized nobody had made this. Then we realized _why_ it could matter—giving people a tiny window into what patients actually endure, all while laughing at the absurdity of existence.
+
+It's therapy through comedy. It's dark. It's sincere. It's ridiculous. It's all at once.
+
+## Platform Support
+
+- Windows 10/11 (x64)
+- Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 35+, Arch)
+
+## Development Status
+
+**Early Access / In Development** – We're building this lean and mean with a 2-person team + AI tools. Expect rapid iteration, unfiltered creative decisions, and occasional chaos.
