Trauma Center

Trauma Center is a series of video games developed by Atlus and published by Atlus (Japan, North America) and Nintendo (Europe). Beginning with Trauma Center: Under the Knife in 2005 for the Nintendo DS, the series released four more entries on the DS and Wii. The gameplay is split between a surgical gameplay simulation, and visual novel storytelling. While mostly dealing with different characters, the games share a common setting of a near-future Earth where advanced medical procedures are used to treat several patients, including outbreaks of deadly viruses. A recurring organisation is Caduceus, a worldwide semi-covert medical foundation.
