DEV NOTES
- There is an existing House, M.D. video game, but from what I can tell it's not anything like this. It seems to be more of a collection of minigames attached to a linear story, and less of a randomly-generated attempt to recreate the show's "core gameplay loop."
- PRO TIP: Almost every 'puzzle' in this game can be solved by selecting each treatment in order and ignoring all the tests. There are a few exceptions - Munchausen's, brain surgery deaths - but they're rare, so you can easily reach a streak of 20+ in just a few minutes by doing this. This isn't intentional: you can get away with it because there aren't enough possible diseases in the database relative to the length of each round, so the suggestions algorithm never has enough possible options to draw from. All the diseases were made by hand using WebMD as a guide, so it would take a while to fix this and I don't really want to, sorry.
