Evaluation

CURE launched into Early Access on November 20, 2025 and has been receiving major content updates at a consistent pace throughout 2026. Since launch, the developer has shipped eight major updates, with the most recent — Version 0.5.5, adding nurses and expanded doctor customization — arriving on September 16, 2026. This reflects a sustained cadence of roughly one major update every 4–8 weeks. On March 9, 2026, Sentinel Games published a full 2026 Early Access roadmap covering Q1 through Q4. Q1 and Q2 content has shipped (patient mood systems, blood tests, hired help, wall/door customization, urine tests, makeover/customization update). Several Q3 items have also shipped (facial features via the September 16 update). However, Q4 items — including CT scans, ambulances, a sword, and seasonal decorations — remain on the schedule. Most significantly, on September 28, 2026 — just one day before today's assessment date — the developer published a roadmap survey inviting the community to help shape a new roadmap for 2027. The post explicitly acknowledges that some 2026 roadmap items were not delivered and states that a new roadmap will be published for 2027. This is a clear signal that active development is planned well beyond the current year. The game remains in Early Access with version numbers in the 0.x range, and the developer is actively communicating and building toward future content milestones.

About this game

The nightshift is yours! CURE is a co-op simulator that allows you and your friends to manage an overnight Emergency Room during the beginning stages of the apocalypse.

Order supplies and manage your hospital’s budget - once patients (and other things) start arriving, things get hectic!

Diagnose your patients with a variety of interactive tools. Symptoms will get weirder as the apocalypse unfolds, keep an eye on what comes through your doors.

As you earn more, expand and upgrade your hospital. Growing your hospital unlocks new diagnostic tools to help your patients feel better, faster. Customize and decorate your hospital to create the hospital of your dreams!

Sometimes patients will need … unconventional treatments. Even though you swore to do no harm as a doctor, sometimes you will need to do the right amount of harm.

CURE stands out by putting creators and communities first, allowing your stream audience to participate in and influence the game.

This unique hybrid of simulation and action gameplay, combined with deep Twitch and Discord integration, offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

  • Fast-Paced Patient Care: Diagnose and treat patients with weird symptoms in a chaotic, first-person environment. Will you put them in normal care or quarantine? The choice is yours, and the clock is ticking.
