Abstract
From blood-stained hospital hallways to ransacked pharmacies: Why do so many horror games feature clinical locations that have been defiled? In this chapter a selection of science fiction and horror games are analysed. The bodies of game protagonists – empowered yet imperilled – are discussed in relation to ability, disability, and the “death of the clinic.”
