Dark Cut 4

Dark Cut 4 is meant to be an unofficial continuation of the Dark Cut series by jmtb02, otherwise known as John Cooney, former CEO of Armor Games. This is a fan-made Dark Cut project and in no means an official or officially-endorsed Dark Cut game in any capacity. DC4 expands upon the game’s genre with a focus on more life-threatening wounds and accuracy of treatment rather than procedures.

Dark Cut 4 takes place in July 2027, where America is deeply entrenched in the Second American Civil War (see documentation if you want more details). You play the role of a combat medic, Sonny Maxson, in 3 separate operations.  Sonny is a combat medic assigned to the 5^th Infantry Division, 9^th Infantry Brigade, 61^st Infantry Regiment, responsible for saving the lives of soldiers on the battlefield. 

Surgery 1 - Kevin Mebria
Like the first operation in Dark Cut 3, you are to control the bleeding of a man who loses his thumb and pinky finger. 

Surgery 2 - Miguel Livingston
Save a civilian caught in an artillery blast with severe burns on their arm.

Surgery 3 - Sonny Maxson
Operate on yourself, having sustained 3 separate bullet wounds to your leg. 

There was originally going to be a fourth surgery, but due to time constraints and never finding the time to continue development after a year, I decided to publish the game in its current state.

FYI 1: I don't expect jmtb02 (John Cooney) to see this, but if he does: my business email is mwnmwn07@gmail.com. Technically, this is your thing, and I'd be glad to discuss the future of this project. Whether that's handing development over to you or taking it down.

FYI 2: This WAS going to be entered into ETSU ACM's Summer/Fall 2024 Game Jam, but they never officially announced the date in their Discord (I don't even know if they even held it at all). All I knew was that the theme of the game jam was "hot dog". So yeah.
