There's also the little matter of that Half-Life 3 rumour, but I'll get to that shortly. It's doing well and people are clearly still interested, so I caught up with him recently for a follow-up chat on the matter and to try and understand why this insane experiment has become so appealing.

We discussed the issue at length and now here we are, months later and Surgeon Simulator has some Team Fortress 2 DLC and incoming Oculus support under its belt. I cornered him afterwards and suggested that banking on games going viral isn't exactly a solid business plan, seeing as virals themselves are unpredictable and tricky to force. Suddenly, everyone wanted to get their hands soaked in gallons of Type-A and chunks of gut-matter.Įarlier this year I saw Bossa's co-founder and gamer in chief Henrique Olifiers give a presentation at GameHorizon in Newcastle and he was there to talk about a new wave of social games that become notorious due to their viral nature - or as he called it - 'virality'. The reality is that the game quickly went viral thanks to user-created YouTube 'let's plays', speculation over its many hidden easter eggs and general word of mouth. It's a happy accident.Īs you can see from my gory hands-on with the game, it's utterly daft and hardly looks like the kind of game that'd get regular folk babbling by the water-cooler. Surgeon Simulator 2013 is bat-shit crazy, based on no real medical research and was never designed to be released at all.
Also, what was 'that' Half-Life 3 rumour about? Surgeon Simulator 2013 developer Bossa Studios tells VG247's Dave Cook why it never banked on the mad surgery romp being a viral success.
