It started out as a cheeky (<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/28/surgeon-simulator-2013-tries-its-hand-at-open-heart-surgery/">and wince-inducing</a>) game jam project by four developers made in just two days, and was later approved as a full release by <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=123715746">Steam's Greenlight program</a>. <br /><br />You can still play <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=6&amp;cad=rja&amp;ved=0CFIQFjAF&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kongregate.com%2Fgames%2Fbossastudios%2Fsurgeon-simulator-2013&amp;ei=021wUbXqKcK9iwL58YHABw&amp;usg=AFQjCNFhryYgHzvt2JpECjPeVwCV5NFxbA&amp;sig2=ufXERLXZzXXpqSi5piBxfg&amp;bvm=bv.45373924,d.cGE">the original jam result online</a> for free, but the full release includes more surgery scenarios, including an operation in the back of a moving ambulance. The physics have been improved, too, and the developers say it'll <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1clr52/my_game_surgeon_simulator_2013_is_out_on_steam/">work on Windows, Mac or Linux</a> on day one.<br /><br />Upon its launch on Steam, the game will cost $9.99 - way cheaper and less grueling than years of medical school.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/18/surgeon-simulator-2013-transplanted-to-steam-tomorrow/">Surgeon Simulator 2013 transplanted to Steam tomorrow</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 18 Apr 2013 23:00:00 EST.
