The studio behind Two Point Hospital has revealed a new management sim, where you have to deal with chaotic children and frozen cavemen.
While business management simulators sound like an agonising chore on paper, they can be some of the most fiendishly addictive games around.
One of the best developers in the genre is UK outfit Two Point Studios, who are owned by Sega and are responsible for Two Point Hospital (the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital) and 2022’s Two Point Campus, which transferred the formula to a university.
The studio has now announced a new business sim called Two Point Museum which, as you might have guessed, sees you trying to assemble and manage a functional museum.
As shown in the trailer, there’s a variety of exhibits you can install, from prehistoric dinosaur bones, a ‘primitive’ computer made of stone, volcanic lava lamps, and a caveman frozen in ice who occasionally tries to escape.
Like Two Point Hospital, you’ll have to keep staff and guests happy during their visit with the overall goal of earning money through donations and admissions, whether through guided tours or eye-catching gift shop displays.
There appears to be a particular emphasis on keeping children entertained this time around, as they can run riot and tear up exhibits if they aren’t properly warned.
You’ll also have to protect exhibits from the elements, vandals, and thieves, through the use of strategically placed security cameras.
Another key part of the gameplay is researching for exhibits, where you send out specialists on expeditions across a world map to retrieve rare artifacts and fossils – in what sounds like a similar mechanic to Jurassic World Evolution 2, albeit with more chance of a comedic disaster.
The idea seems like a perfect fit for Two Point Studios’ brand of management sim, especially if it goes fully Night At The Museum with walking-talking exhibits.
There’s no details of a release date yet, but Two Point Museum will be available across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
