Ok, this one is silly and fun. Birk sent it to me today because he thought I would enjoy it, and I did, very much.
This is a joke game (but really well made for a joke game) that plays on the idea of how med students are taught how to express empathy with their patients.
The concept of the game is really simple: you use the arrow keys to move your "doctor" head around the room, and you need to get within range of your patient (or patients) and hit the space bar to empathize. (When you do, it uses a robot voice to say randomized phrases like "that must be difficult for you" and "how does that make you feel.")
Each room is a little bit harder. The second one is actually very difficult. It's a mom and a small child who runs around the room like a lunatic, and you have to empathize with both of them in ten seconds.
I finally gave up on the round with the patient who has a 7+ murmur... he has a giant heart animation that pulses every two seconds, and when it does, it throws you back in the opposite direction, so you have to time your approach and your empathy very carefully to make sure you don't go flying. (Also you need to get between him and the nearer wall so the return to him doesn't waste valuable seconds.)
