As for surgeries, surgical interventions have to be achieved by the characters as surgeons. They’re all divided in simple steps and go from vital signs check to coronary arteries bypass, including injections, sutures, diagnoses (which are in fact a memorizing activity forcing the player to remember pictograms), CT-scans, MRIs and X-rays’ reading (searching for anomalies), blood succion, intubation, etc. Surgeries can be divided in two parts separated by mini-games.
Conform to the series’ structure, the game is composed of scenes and acts within episodes. The same title card is used. Each time a choice, a challenge or a surgery isn’t fulfilled within the range of time allowed, the player loses an heart. If all five hearts are lost, the scene has to be done all over again. At the end of each scene, a ranking is given to the player, depending of the number of hearts remaining. Five rankings are possible, following the surgical hierarchy: Chief of Surgery, Attending, Chief Resident, Resident, and Intern.
The plot focuses on an outbreak of diphteria in the hospital. Other sub-plotlines are included, such as Cristina seeking for a fellowship despite Derek’s bad review before catching diphteria, Alex hesitating between Lexie and Ava, and of course Derek and Meredith’ relationship.
