Just finished this game.. it is one of the best visual novels i had the pleasure of experiencing. Thank you so much. I will definitely replay it after i let it sink in <33
Wow, I feel really guilty. I enjoyed it so so much, would be a shame if the people behind this gem would get nothing from it. Where can I donate? Tip? ect.
“By the way, just so you know, the game runs just fine under WINE on Linux. If there had been any problems I bet you Proton would have dealt with them, but there were no issues with plain old regular old WINE. So that was neat.
I installed it from the WineHQ repo. I'm on Wine 10.0, running under Fedora Linux. “
This game really pulled me in because of my interest in psychiatric drugs. And honestly, I'm super satisfied with playing it. It represents the perspective of someone with ADD so well, and the detailed settings made me even more hooked. If there's ever a chance, I’d love to see a sequel come out!
The menu is finicky for some people. It might help to navigate it slowly and not press any keys other than the up/down arrows and escape/return when the menu is open. Sometimes inputs from other keys seem to cause a problem. Sorry about that.
This is truly one of the best games I have played this year. It has an incredibly engaging story and interesting characters. I was captivated right off the bat (which doesn't happen often). I 100% recommend this to anyone who likes psychological horror or visual novels.
Hi, THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME! because there's so much fan content like comics and fics! I'm wondering if there will ever be a sequel or maybe a game with a similar premise? thank you!!
What a great game. The buildup was fun and the interactions felt real. Whatever choice you make, the reasons put make sense either way, and don't feel forced.
hi !!!!!! i really love this game thank you so much for making something like this it helps me uhhh cope my trauma i guess ... thank you homie! please keep this up <3 and take care
Hey dude, I'm planning on making a fan Ukrainian language patch for this game! Are you okay with that??
If you are, then contact me on twitter or discord, so I can send you the patched version of the game when I'm done. Both twitter's and discord's usernames are @gamer_huila34 / gamer_huila34 :DD
If it weren’t for the Turkish patch, I wouldn’t have been able to play it... but I’m so glad I did. The character designs, the plot, and all the twists were honestly amazing for me. I feel so lucky to have played a game like this; it even left an emptiness inside me after I finished all the endings... Thanks for letting us experience this story Homie ^^
I'm really looking forward to the new games you'll make!
I'm very grateful to the fan translators who have made it possible for the game to reach more players like you. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
Hi homie!!! absolutely LOVED Clinical Trial, your writing and storytelling are top notch.
Out of curiosity, do you have any other projects planned? Because I would love to see what else you could create in the future. Anyways, thank you for making Clinical Trial! I absolutely adore it!!
I really did enjoy this lil game!! The art is beautiful as always comin' from Homie, the music was lovely and it felt good to play a game where it doesn't feel like the ONLY option is the "good path"
Very refreshing and I can't wait to see whatever you develop in the future!
less of a psychological second half than i was expecting, and down to personal taste i didn't like it as much as i would've if it had gone other places. that's just my opinion tho and overall this is a really cool game! loved the art and the characters, felt very seen by the portrayal of lee (i'm an odd loner working in the medical field and i love shrimp) and angel (i'm also a short genderqueer college dropout who draws and is depressed) both.
i really like your writing and art styles and can't wait to see what (if anything) you make next!
*edit: also the bonus content is wonderful and i love it
I REALLY enjoyed playing your work. And I just wanted to ask you if I could cosplay a character from your work in addition to the fanart you've created.
I apologize for leaving my question in the review section, but I hope you answer it.
Does anyone else have problems with the saved files? TT I played the game, saved my game, and exited it, but when I tried to play again, it didn't let me press the continue button, and there was no record of my previous game.
Does this game happen to require use of the up and down arrow keys, or just the left and right ones? I’ve heard great things about the story but my keyboard’s busted.
You can move on the map and select choices by clicking on them instead of using the arrow keys. There's one (nonconsequential) choice near the end where you might be stuck with fewer options, but I think you can still complete the game.

Will the game be released on Steam? If yes, then I will buy this game right away.
Probably not, download it here while you can!
I believe you can add non-Steam games to your Steam library, though. If you want.
very. fucking. good. job.
By far the best game I played on itch.io
I am truely thankful and happy for being able to play this game
Just finished this game.. it is one of the best visual novels i had the pleasure of experiencing. Thank you so much. I will definitely replay it after i let it sink in <33
I wish there was an Android download
No Android port, but you can try to follow the steps listed in the "Instructions for Android" tab to run the game.
Wow, I feel really guilty. I enjoyed it so so much, would be a shame if the people behind this gem would get nothing from it. Where can I donate? Tip? ect.
Can't accept monetary payment at this time but positive comments and reviews are very much appreciated. Thank you!
are there plans for a native linux release?
No, sorry. I’ll copy-paste a couple comments from people who ran the game on Linux a few months ago, in case it helps you.
From kodr1iaqmgvswek:
“For those of us on Linux, the Windows version of this game runs quite well with rpgmaker-linux. Just unzip it and run it with e.g.
rpgmaker-linux --gamepath /home/you/Clinical\ Trial/
Tested on Debian 12 with GNOME. The same Debian 12 running Sway WM did not work.”
From Scutoidlim:
“By the way, just so you know, the game runs just fine under WINE on Linux. If there had been any problems I bet you Proton would have dealt with them, but there were no issues with plain old regular old WINE. So that was neat.

helloo i need a little help with the save screen.. occasionally when i try to save it shows me with a type error message.. :(
The menu is finicky for some people. It might help to navigate it slowly and not press any keys other than the up/down arrows and escape/return when the menu is open. Sometimes inputs from other keys seem to cause a problem. Sorry about that.
okay!! i was able to fully play it without manually saving surprisingly.. really great game! thank you :3
beautiful game!! i loved that both of the endings made sense, but still couldn't help feeling sad about the first one 😭
This is truly one of the best games I have played this year. It has an incredibly engaging story and interesting characters. I was captivated right off the bat (which doesn't happen often). I 100% recommend this to anyone who likes psychological horror or visual novels.
easily one of the most engaging stories I’ve experienced in quite a while, triple A games included.
I especially enjoyed the sound design, it perfectly fit the mood.
kudos, homie, keep it up.

Hi, THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME! because there's so much fan content like comics and fics! I'm wondering if there will ever be a sequel or maybe a game with a similar premise? thank you!!

Thank you~

The biggest thank you for such a wonderful piece of work.

Please pray that they will be surrounded by a peaceful and happy world after this.
