Life outside the clinic

The day ends somewhere soft.

Return home, check in with your pet, make a small upgrade, and close out the day. Rehab Rush is about the whole rhythm—not only the work.

  • End-of-shift recap and earned rewards
  • Home upgrades and the start of a second day

Current public build

What is playable right now.

This is an early alpha, not a finished game. The complete first-day loop is public so players can test the feel, pacing, controls, and core clinic systems while Iris keeps building.

Good to know: your progress is stored locally in your browser. All patients and stories are fictional. Rehab Rush is a game—not clinical advice or a medical simulator.
