Black Tower Studios

Black Tower Studios is developing Dr. Oops!, a medical deduction adventure with a demo now live on Steam, ahead of an appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2026 and a 2027 release.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 10

Black Tower Studios has spent the run-up to release showing Dr. Oops! in two forms. A development build was played by 4Gamer in August 2026, and by September 4 the studio had put a demo on Steam. The game casts the player as a fake doctor who has to diagnose eccentric patients and repay a debt.

The demo covers Days 1 through 5 and runs about 30 minutes. Diagnosis works through clues and a checklist; treatment is delivered by shooting a drug loaded into a gun. The full game has more than 300 fully voiced patients. Treatment pay goes toward nightly debts, and coming up short gets the player beaten by a debt collector. The game mixes real diseases with the comedic deduction premise, and the studio's director voices all characters.

The demo arrives ahead of an exhibition at Tokyo Game Show 2026 and a 2027 release. Across both stories, the core loop and the debt structure are the settled details: diagnose, treat, collect, repay. What remains unstated in the coverage is a specific release date, additional platforms, and any further staff beyond the director's voice work.
