Sometimes games come along that break the mold in terms of emotional resonance and experience. Critical Care, a 1-4 player cooperative game about doctors treating patients in an ICU, is one of those games. Dr. Lakshman Swamy and Omari Akil break down how they brought this game to life, how it plays, why it's important, and how it can help folks who might be helped by its message.
