''Mondo Medicals'' is a first-person perspective puzzle game by Creator/{{Cactus}} that puts the player through 8 levels (called 'dissorientations'), where your task is to find the exit. The levels, built of blank, gray walls, require the players not to think "out of the box" as much as to devastate the box completely. To reach the exit on each level, you'll have to ignore obvious clues, distrust your seeing, and abandon typical computer-game thinking.
