CURE - A Hospital Simulator news & patch notes

Good news, doctors: the town of Mercy discovered architecture!

Update 0.4.8 is live, and it brings a big new way to organize your hospital: walls, doors, rooms, signs, and just enough construction work to make everyone deeply concerned.

Now you can finally stop running a medical facility that looks like someone emptied a hospital supply truck into a gymnasium.

➕ Added

• Walls and doors so players can customize and organize their hospital space. Make rooms, add doors, build walls or half walls (if you want that open space feel) and customize them with your favorite wallpapers and flooring.

• Signs so players can label where things are, because apparently “that bloody corner over there” was not a sustainable navigation system when playing with friends. If you're a creator we recommend naming some rooms after your favorite community members, like "The DefaultUser X-Ray Room".

• New bullet hole decal effects (We always felt weird about this missing from the game).

• New summer item sounds although that's more a bug fix.

• Ceiling grime in dirty rooms, for that authentic “please call maintenance” atmosphere

• New mop VFX

🔨 Fixed

• Fixed items flying out of the playable area

• Fixed vomit animations not playing on patients

• Fixed summer item boxes not being destroyed

• Fixed Past Orders 10th line, in case you want to order something that is almost forgotten.

• Fixed Lumen and reflection settings being reset

• Fixed painting tools not properly highlighting targets in the UI

• Fixed swim ring and beach chair colors showing differently to different players

• Fixed input prompts appearing for putting items back in boxes when not allowed

• Fixed hired NPC navigation

• Fixed navigation issues with body bags and garbage bags

• Fixed guards returning to the correct spot after being downed

• Fixed wall/floor color misalignment in some positions

• Fixed assistant NPCs not taking the correct assignment after loading

🔀 Changed - Important!

• X-Ray machines now require surrounding walls that block the X-ray from hitting nearby chairs, beds, desks, and entrances. We’ve heard radiation is bad. Who knew?!

• Removed the Furniture category in the shop and replaced it with Utility, which now includes old furniture plus the new walls.

• Changed the level-up VFX.

That's all, Doctors. Grab your mop, your drywall, and your deeply questionable medical license.

It’s time to Make Some Rooms.

Dear Doctors,

Summer is upon us, and to celebrate the Steam Summer Sale we have a cool little update to your favorite ER Simulator.

This update brings a new category of healing items, that is accompanied with new conditions for patients, and also a bunch of summer themed decorations.

➕ Added

• New category of healing items - Skincare

• Patients will now appear in the ER with mild and severe sunburns, and also an occasional sunstroke.

• A new set of beach themed waiting chairs.

• You can finally throw away that old shabby couch and get a gorgeous beach bean bag to sleep on when your shift is over.

• Play with the new beach ball. Throw it around and lose it over the fence.

• New posters and decorations for your ER - Summer Themed.

🔀 Changed

• Some minor tweaks to sound FX in the game.

• Hired help is slightly buffed so that they will be a bit more useful (This is mostly about Barnie, our incompetent guard)

🔨 Fixed

• A bug causing patients not to blink was fixed

• Blood tests should be more visible and less broken

• Fixed a bug that caused Hired Help not to take a salary when you load the game

🏷️ 30% Sale Event coming this Saturday (June 13)

Happy Friday Doctors!

Our next major update will be released this upcoming Wednesday (June 10th) and we are incredibly excited about this upcoming release.

Our upcoming major update to CURE (Ver 0.4.5) is called Makeover Edition because it focuses on some key areas of the way the game looks and performs:

Massive Performance Overhaul

Our team spent the past month improving the performance of the game (or as our devs call it “make it run on a toaster”). This means we re-built the entire hospital map and re-worked every light source and every street lamp. The result is that we managed to improve game performance by more than 50% if you are running LUMEN and significantly more if you are not running LUMEN.

The game’s minimum system requirements also dropped significantly due to this effort. If you already own CURE, expect to see a massive improvement in the FPS you’re getting, and the smoothness of the rendering.

Designify - Your ER Design Store

Other than improved performance, the main update in this version is the Designify desktop app, that unlocks infinite new design abilities to your ER.

20 wallpapers patterns, 20 Floor patterns and infinite color combinations can take your ER from its existing boring white to an entirely new feel for your patients. Even the Zombies are going to love these new floor tiles.

Clinical Trials - Now Live!

If you want to check out all these updates right now (and help us discover some nasty bugs prior to the public release) head over to our Discord Community. Then, visit the Clinical Trials channel to get all the info on getting into our beta group and check the next major update today!

Join our Discord and Play the new version today!

Have a wonderful weekend, and let us know how you like the new features & content Cheers,

Dear Doctors, a new major update is now live, and what an amazing update we have for you. Let’s dive right in.

➕ Added:

• A new app named “Med-Hire” is now added to your in-ER desktop computer.

• Starting at hospital level 4, you will be able to hire guards and assistants.

  • Assistants can be assigned to reception and checkout desks.

  • Guards can be assigned to door locations and will attack zombies when they try to attack your ER.

  • Employees can be given a money boost that will increase their performance for a short time.

🛠️ Fixed:

• Fixed a problem that messed up vein visibility while taking a blood test.

• Fixed a problem with capitalization of healing items in various UI elements. If you still find ANYTHING that is not properly capitalized, please let us know.

• Fixed a bunch of problems we discovered about adaptive difficulty, which caused many of the players to not see a rise in the amount of patients from night to night.

🔬Changes from Clinical Trials:

• Assistants will now prioritize sending patients to a higher level beds, and for each level of bed patients will be sent to beds in the order you bought them (First bought bed gets the first patient).

• Hired help can not be downed while moving out due to being fired.

🏷️ 25% Sale Event (and then a) Price Increase

Happy Friday Doctors!

What's coming?

The biggest upgrade this update will bring is the introduction of Hired Help. The office computer will include a new app called “Med-Hire”, in which you will be able to hire 2 categories of employees:

• Assistants - Can be assigned to reception or checkout desks

• Guards - Can be assigned to each of the main doors of your ER

New Key Art & Logo coming next week

Happy Friday Doctors!

Another week has gone by, and its a good time to update y’all on our progress. As we shared last week, we are working hard on our next major update that will add the ability to HIRE HELP in your ER. When launched, a new app will be added to the desktop computer, named Med-Hire. In it, you will find multiple categories of employees. At launch, you will only be able to hire two categories of employees:

• Assistants - Can be assigned to reception desks or checkout desks

• Guards - Can be assigned to any of the main doors.

There are going to be 3 assistants and 3 guards on our initial launch, and they are going to be level locked. So if you already have a Level 10 certification, you may be able to hire all of them at launch!

Creator Recap

As many of you know, since we launched we saw MANY creators stream and create content with our game. We want to take a moment to recognize some of the best work we’ve seen by creators playing our game:

Neebs Magic Dumpster - The Hospital Series

by @neebsmagicdumpster

When Neebs launched their first episode back in February, we were humbled and excited to see how their team used the co-op dynamic to create the most hilarious series we’ve seen so far. It was so good, that our own Moose joined the final episode. The total series ran for almost 2 months and is highly recommended:

Check out the full playlist:

The Chaos of Running A Hospital

by @NIRDSTUFF⁩ @mikeeey300 @BarefootTasha⁩ @PeeGTV⁩

This team has created the most hysterically chaotic video we’ve seen made in CURE. They all talk at once, and the stress levels are through the roof. To be honest, the overlapping dialog reminded me of the older works of film legend Robert Altman (but you have to be over 40 to appreciate this). In any case, amazing energy and totally worth watching.

The Chaos of Running A Hospital

by @InSym, CJ and Psycho

Yesterday afternoon this team of bold creators, led by the awesome Insym, went live for 4 hours simultaneously on Twitch and YouTube, and streamed CURE to an excited audience. They handled them⁩selves pretty respectfully, but once batons appeared in the ER it became an oddly satisfying PvP mayhem. Check out the full recording below:

Honorable mention: @itzjaysasaza on TikTok

https://www.tiktok.com/@itzjaysasa

Joey created the biggest TikTok we’ve seen so far about the game. He created this video back in December, and we still go back to it to remind ourselves the fundamentals of why people are interested in our game.

Happy Friday, Doctors!

Our team is currently deep in development on the next major procedure for CURE, scheduled for release in the first half of May (Exact date TBD)! This update addresses one of your most frequent requests: the ability to hire help. Running an ER solo is a recipe for burnout (or rage-quitting), so we are thrilled to introduce the Med-Hire Staffing System.

Med-Hire Arriving in May:

We are launching with two critical roles to keep your department operating smoothly:

• Administrative Assistant: An essential hire capable of managing either the Reception or Checkout desks, drastically reducing administrative bottlenecks and patient wait times.

• Security Guard: Stationed at the entry, this specialist is mandatory for handling CODE WHITE alerts. When things get a little... undead... you’ll be glad they’re on the payroll.

Q2 Roadmap: The Path Ahead

Once our new staff members are settled in, we have a packed schedule through the end of June. Here is what is currently on the operating table:

• Med-Hire System (Launching May 2026)

• Urine Tests and Analysis

• Floor and Wall Customizations

• New Defensive Equipment: The Shotgun (For those really difficult patients)

• Optimization & Performance Pass

New Tech: The Urine Analyzer

Our diagnostics department finalized the design of the high-throughput Urine Analyzer today. It may not look like conventional lab equipment, but as medical professionals, you know functionality is key. Check out the specialized design below:

Trust us—we’re doctors.

Interior Design: Wallpapers and Flooring

A sterile environment doesn't have to be a boring one. Before the end of June, you will have the ability to decorate your ER with custom wallpapers and replace current flooring with a variety of colorful tiles. Here is a sneak preview of the aesthetic changes coming to the ward:

Weekend Operational Plans?

So, Chief Medical Officers, what are your surgical plans for the weekend? How will your current shift in CURE progress?

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new staff roles and your feedback on the roadmap in the comments below.

Have an excellent weekend, Doctors!

🔀 Changes in this version

Changed: Slight increase to the base patient count.

Changed: Medium increase to the patient-count scaling per guest.

Happy Holidays Doctors! We hope you are enjoying your holiday season. Here are a few quick hotfixes we deployed over the past week so that your Holiday Healing will be as smooth as possible:

📢 0.1.4.21 Hotfix

Fixed: Washing Machine taking sheets from Guests while it's running.

Fixed: Patients not moving forward in Check-in and Check-out queue. (They were scared.. be nicer!)

📢 0.1.4.27 Hotfix

Fixed: Crash that would happen regarding Zombies.

Fixed: Continuous FPS decline in specific save files - THIS IS AWESOME!

Fixed: Patients no longer properly sitting/laying in a bed after being attacked by a zombie.

Fixed: Max patient counter not working properly. - Please let us know how this feels now!

Fixed: Patients being stuck in the check-in, and check-out Queue, with no one moving forward.

Fixed: High Player Count Balancing/Safety Measures. - 5-6 players be aware, the overall experience is unbalanced, but a lot more stable.

Happy Holidays Doctors!

We are excited to bring you this Holiday Season update. There is so much new stuff in this version! From holiday decorations to new balancing for all healing items, this update brings a ton of new stuff for both new and veteran doctors.

✨ Holiday Highlights (The Big Stuff)

🎁 Holiday Decorations Are Here! Deck your halls, wards, and questionable medical practices with festive décor — and yes, you can recycle decorations for a full refund because we believe in responsible holiday spending.

🧷 Pegboard Added Hang your diagnosis tools and security gear like a true organized professional (or a wall-mounted hoarder).

🛡️ Moderation Tools Suite Host with confidence! New tools let you limit what guests can do before they turn your ER into a chaos experiment.

🧸 Twitch Viewers Can Wear Onesies Viewers can now type !onesie and instantly upgrade their drip. Medical accuracy not guaranteed.

❄️ Additions & Improvements

🌨️ Snow Has Come to Mercy The town is now cold, festive, and still medically questionable.

🧼 Washing Machine QoL You can now start the washing machine without filling it completely. Revolutionary.

🛏️ Bed / X-Ray UI Scrolling Because some of you apparently own way too many beds.

✨ Improved VFX (Multiple, Fancy, Shiny) Things look better. Trust us.

📦 Text Added to Both Sides of Supply Boxes For those who like reading… from any angle.

🚶 Improved Patient Navigation Patients are now better at not walking directly into each other. Progress.

🧟 Patients Can Walk Over Dead Bodies Yes, it’s weird. No, they don’t care.

🎨 Lighting & Color Improvements Overall post-process polish so Mercy looks slightly less like a nightmare.

🟢 Color-Coded Healing Indicators Patient UI now clearly shows healing categories, because guessing is bad medicine.

🔨 Zombie Baton Balance Zombies can no longer be stun-locked by baton spam. Choose violence responsibly.

🛒 Shop UI Color Coding Easier to read prices and amounts. Your wallet thanks you.

🐞 Bug Fixes (Squashed & Tested)

💳 Checkout Desk Now Works With Full Inventory Yes. That was a thing. It’s fixed.

📱 Card Reader Stays on the Table A very persistent visual bug has finally been defeated.

⚖️ Healing Item Rebalance Because healing shouldn’t feel like either magic or betrayal.

🛏️ Dirty Bed / X-Ray Edge Cases Fixed Patients dying, leaving, or zombifying mid-journey will no longer break cleanliness logic.

🔫 Improved Gun Handling for Guests Smoother, safer, slightly less terrifying.

📦 Invisible Items on Lag Fixed Guests taking items from boxes will no longer make them disappear into the void.

🔢 Improved Use-Count Readability Clearer displays for pistols, clips, and cleaning spray (yes, those matter).

🔄 Health Change Chevron Fixed Up means up. Down means down. As nature intended.

🚷 NPCs Stop Cutting Through the Hospital No more wandering through restricted areas like they own the place.

🌗 Default Gamma Fixed The game should now look correct by default. Amazing.

🔨 Baton Spam Prevention Guests can no longer exceed attack rate limits. Calm down.

💊 Fentanyl Box Fixed No longer a room-sized cube with floating text. Don’t ask.

🚶 Queue Logic Fixed Patients now join queues after actually reaching them. Wild concept.

🔫 Gun Drop While Aiming Fixed Dropping a gun mid-aim will no longer delete your interaction crosshair.

🎄 Thanks for playing, breaking things, and helping us make Mercy a slightly more functional hospital. Happy Holidays — and please stop hitting zombies that fast.

Hello Doctors! Thousands of new doctors joined CURE over the weekend. We want to deeply thank everyone for their support and feedback. As we are preparing for our holiday release, here are a few fixes to make your next shift just a little bit better. Let’s dive in:

🔨 Bug Fixes

• Fixed quirky navigation around the checkout chair (no more awkward shuffling).

• Fixed supply boxes randomly resizing when loading a save — they now respect personal space.

• Fixed guests failing to clean beds when interacting from too far away.

• Fixed X-Ray not working properly for certain ailments and diseases.

• Fixed washing machines “eating” bedsheets when guests used them from max range.

• Blood & Urine Analysis symptoms will no longer join the zombie symptom party... for now.

• Fixed body bags not grabbing bodies that ragdolled into the next time zone.

  • Note: Hosts see correct bag placement; guests may see it slightly off — temporary!

• Fixed patients who died on their way to checkout locking the desk mid-process.

• Old save files now auto-update zombie symptom lengths to match current balance.

🔀 Changes & Improvements

• You can no longer place sofas inside locked rooms (…you know who you are).

• Blood & Urine Analysis requests should be a lot more rare. You will still see them from time to time.

• Only the HOST can move sofas for now — a temporary moderation measure until better tools land.

Thanks for all the reports, videos, and detective work — keep them coming! 💙 Every version pushes CURE one step closer to a truly smooth ER… well, as smooth as an ER full of zombies can be.

Hello Doctors! Today’s update brings new features, smarter systems, and fixes to things that definitely shouldn’t have been happening in a hospital. Let’s dive in! 🩺🧟‍♂️
