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.
Implementation status is planned in DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md and changes are tracked in the changelog.
Credits
Made by two people who thought this was funny enough to be real. Corey had to undergo cancer treatment himself, which inspired this project. Georg takes care of the technical aspects and makes sure the game actually runs.
