Horror Surgery Sim, Angel Engine Now Available on Steam

Heal Your Patients’ Wounds or Die Trying!

Kraków, Poland (March 6, 2026) – Based on the web series by The Unearthly Guy, Angel Engine is available on Steam today for $7.99. Developed by Black Lantern Collective and HMS Studios, and published by NerveLabs, the video game adaptation brings you to the far future of the series, tasked with healing the wounds of increasingly deformed patients while all the equipment you rely on begins to break down. ​

As an intern with no supervision, you’re left in charge of a remote surgery station in the Babel 2 research facility with little more than video tutorials and the occasional friendly, but unhelpful, check-in from the security officer on night watch. As patients are brought to you on an assembly line, you must quickly assess their wounds, choose the right tools, and succeed in distinct mini-games before their anesthesia wears off. ​

As if your mysterious subjects weren’t dangerous enough, everything around you is prone to breaking down. In the midst of operations, you’ll need to recalibrate equipment, keep systems from overheating, and replace fuses essential to keeping your tools running and oxygen flowing. Oh, and there’s some holy water in the drawer.

The more operations you complete, the more things start to go wrong. Can you survive long enough to find out what’s going on here, or will the pace and panic ultimately be your doom?

Game Features

  • A horror surgery sim based on the Angel Engine web series.
  • Assess each patient’s wounds and choose the right tool to correct them, engaging in distinct mini-games for each device.
  • Keep an eye on your subject’s anesthesia levels. Nobody wants to wake up during surgery, and you won’t get off with a simple lawsuit.
  • Maintain your equipment. Your machinery is prone to overheating, and fuses are likely to blow. It doesn’t matter how good of a surgeon you are if you run out of air.
  • Check your emails– or someone’s emails, at least. Learn things you aren't supposed to know.
