The Patient
Short description
Dr. Ellen Reed returns to work as a therapist only to discover an inpatient has been mistakenly dosed with a deadly mutative drug. With hospital records erased due to a power outage, she must work overnight to identify and discreetly euthanize the affected patient before it's too late.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $2.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
