Buy A Very British Summer PC

Step into the shoes of Dr. Stickler, the freshly appointed town doctor of Grimshaw.
Care for patients, keep his belly full and teeth clean, and earn financial rewards to build his reputation and fulfill his dream of escaping to sunny Spain.

Or… don’t.

Murder patients, forge their wills, embezzle their fortunes, and dispose of the evidence in increasingly creative ways. Launder ill-gotten gains through investing in gold and property, grow his wealth, steal fancy cars and chase his dream of escaping to sunny Spain through all kinds of illegal activities.

Between appointments, become immersed in small-town life: gamble on sporting events, indulge in darts or pool at the pub, learn to cook, enjoy shadow-puppet cinema, find love (or avoid it entirely), and endure the quirks of a Very British Summer.

Will Grimshaw remember Dr. Stickler as a trusted medical professional and friendly neighbour… or its most notorious villain?

Gameplay Features

• Medical Simulation: Patients are treated through match-4 puzzle challenges. Colored bacteria cells must be aligned to clear infections and earn rewards. Players race against time before infections worsen, spending earnings on resources or to fund criminal schemes. Patients can be kept healthy—or exploited for profit.

• Character Progression: Dr. Stickler earns money, improves his medical knowledge, and unlocks new treatments, diseases, and recipes. A respected doctor may even be invited to teach as a university professor, where puzzle challenges evolve into sliding-tile puzzles that test logic and planning skills.

• Life Simulation: Dr. Stickler’s vital attributes—tiredness, hunger, thirst, warmth, and more—must be managed while treating patients, running schemes, and navigating village life. Failure to maintain health affects performance and can result in hospitalization.

• Crime & Strategy: Forge wills, embezzle money, invest in gold and property, steal cars and inheritance, and cover up crimes—all while avoiding detection.

• Village Life: Engage in mini-games such as pool and darts, cook meals, watch quirky shadow-puppet films, interact with townsfolk, and pursue—or avoid—romance.

• Sandbox & Choice: Every decision matters. Players can guide Dr. Stickler to be a trusted doctor, a cunning criminal, or something in between, shaping their own path through Grimshaw.
