Mondo Medicals

Mondo Medicals is a freeware puzzle and indie game developed by Jonatan Söderström, released for Microsoft Windows on September 13, 2007 and later for macOS on December 24, 2010.

The game involves the player trying to reach an exit in several mazelike levels by solving counterintuitive puzzles, against the backdrop of a surreal narrative revolving around the search for the cure for cancer.

[5] Doing so often involves deliberately disobeying instructions[5] and overcoming unusual, counter-intuitive[6] puzzle-solving challenges; for example, the first level is a looping corridor with arrows painted on the floor.

[7] After the completion of each level, a short cutscene is shown which depicts a recording of a man loudly ranting,[5][6] with his incomprehensible speech subtitled in ungrammatical English.

While initially the cutscenes were meant to provide verbally abusive commentary on the player's progress through the game, Söderström eventually decided to instead make them follow a semi-coherent narrative.

[6][19] Retro Gamer's Stuart Hunt gave the game an 85% rating in his review, praising the eerie atmosphere, but criticizing the repetitive and monotonous level design.
