The Curious Case of the Missing Nurses
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
The Curious Case of the Missing Nurses is a horror game where you take control of Layla Walsh, a young nurse who's about to work the longest shift of her life. Dragged into a hideously morphed version of the former hospital she once worked at, she learns death has now become a rare commodity. Will she live through the night or become another one of the many disappearing nurses in the mysterious town of Brookvale.
Guide Layla through the unrelenting Undertow as she desperately tries to escape by finding as many bad-ends as possible. The actions you take will affect how certain scenes play out, and how her story eventually ends. Will she escape with her best friend Ada Hong, or will she become the plaything of the ghastly Doctor Ebert?
Features:
- 40+ CG's featuring various damsels in damsely situations.
- Decisions you make in the Undertow not only affect the pool of game overs you can get, but also how certain scenes play out. Decide to just lie down and let the currents of The Undertow drag you along? That's cool you shouldn't be punished for that. How about fighting tooth and nail to survive? Also cool. Layla's dialogue will change depending on how you interact in certain scenes.
- Escape puzzles in order to get free from the baddies.
- Boss fights varying from grotesque monsters to fellow damsels.
- Different scenes depending on successfully defeating/losing to bosses or failing certain puzzles. Not only do these decisions have instant ramifications but Layla will also be seen differently by her peers after she leaves The Undertow.
Warning:
May contain flashing lights and damsels in distress. Ok, well "may" is an understatement... on the damsels, not the flashing lights! (But there's still some flashing lights so be careful!)
That's a very good request Layla, what if you do want something spicier?
Well in that case I have just the thing for you! Over at either my Patreon or SubscribeStar, at the $10 tier, you can find something with a little more zest. Almost all the scenes implemented into the game so far have extended versions (35 at the time of me writing this) that go a little further into the peppery side of things. So if that's a flavor you're interested in trying, why not head over there and give it a try?
But what if you only like 4k CG's in PSD format with multiple layers, early access to beta builds of this game plus whatever random stuff I'm working on, AND an easy to access in-game gallery that has all the CG's already accessible? Well damn, you're in luck because I too have a solution for that! It's the $5 tier over at my Patreon or SubscribeStar which provides you with all that plus my undying gratitude.
If you'd like to follow development of the game you can head over to my Twitter.
If you have any bug reports please post over at my Discord, I'll be checking their pretty often :)
-----As of right now the game ends just before Layla can leave the Undertow in the central elevator. The next update will include the final area and final confrontation along with all the endings.----
1.) When will the next update be out?
- Should be around Late September early October.
2.) Is there a walkthrough or guide available?
- Yes, I'll have that out by 07/26/24.
3.) How many endings do you plan on having?
- At the moment 8 endings. Each ending will be determined based on 3 qualifying factors and how Layla is viewed after leaving The Undertow.
4.) Some sprites don't match, will they be added in the next update?
- Yeah, I just hate sprite work and save that for the end ;p
5.) Can you play it on Mac or Android?
- I've created versions that SHOULD be compatible. But I have no way of testing it out since I don't have neither an Android or Mac device. I'm leaving it up to you guys to tell me if it works or not :p
6.) What does the spicy version include at the moment?
-At the moment it includes pretty much all the alternate versions of the already implemented scenes. So it's around 30ish CG's with spicy, tangy, oh so caleinte goodness.

found a softlock where you close the door inside a bathroom stall (mens) and cannot reopen it from the inside
Found a skip in the game that can prevent progress on the spectral keys. went throught the vent in the entrance instead of doing the first fight and followed that path to the ada scene. it then takes me to the red crystal with the cheer item and skips all diolouge and items before the first time enter the red crysta
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll get that fixed in the next version :)
Is the android version working yet? I am very eager to play this already, it looks like a lot of fun
It can work if you use JoyPlay emulator. For that you should unpack archive and launch file "index.html" With this emulator
Hi i still cant seem to install the mobile version of the game no matter what i do i really want to play this game alot but it doesnt seem to work
Apple or Android?
android sorry if your getting this alot but i just like what I see the art style and everything else and I wish I could play
is this game in the same world as Hostage Hotel
It is! They all take place in the town of Brookvale
not going to lie the idea of the world that you spend most of the game in is an interesting idea
Thanks, I still have some world building to do in it. Really gonna go hard on the town of Brookvale and flesh out The Undertow more when I move into Godot full time.
Will there ever be a steam release?
I'm hoping to have this be my first release on Steam :)
is there any chance your other games like Hostage hotel chapters 1 to 4 and Residents of Evilville will be released to steam too?
That I won’t do, since those games are so old I don’t even have promotional files to make a store front anymore :(
I can't find where the Marionettes Last Respite is.
It’s the graveyard outside of the morgue.
How to instal game?
What are you playing on? I know some Mac/Android users aren't working properly, for that I'll have a solution some time in the near future.
On android
Ada Hong- is that supposed to be a play on Ada Wong?
Haha, perhaps ;p I'll always find a way to include some RE girls.
Can't download android version
It looks like some people are having issues with the Android version. I’ll have to look for a fix for it and I’ll make an announcement when I’m able to fix it :)
Not able to save my progress in the current version.
Saw the message on Discord, happy you figured it out!
Yeah, thanks for the reply, though. I checked the permissions and it worked. Strange that it only happened with that game.
where is the spicy version?
it’s on my Patreon at the $10 tier
Is the game contain any H-scene? Or is it only nude and bondage scene?
The spicy version will, but at the moment it’s only as you described.
How does the android work?
It looks like I’m gonna have to go with a browser approach to get it to work.
Nope no gore/guro! Just some horror themes. Honestly the girl with the axe is probably the goriest thing you'll encounter.
i cant open the game on mac for some reason. Just says that Game can't be opened
I was worried about that, I made the export on Windows so I knew some people would have issues with the Mac version. I'll have to search for a solution or try and find a mac computer, I'll post an update once the issue is resolved.
