Close Encounters DLC

Close Encounters DLC is the third DLC expansion for Two Point Hospital.

Released on the 29th August 2019, Close Encounters was announced on the 21st August 2019 alongside an Early Adopter's bonus, which allowed for pre-ordering the game with a 10% discount. This Early Adopter's bonus continued until 5th September, after release.

The Close Encounters DLC adds 3 new Hospitals, 34 new illnesses, 11 being new visual illnesses, 3 new, fully animated cure machines, new gameplay, music, DJ and tannoy lines, plus loads more.

Description
Down in the town of Goldpan, rumours persist of an out of this world encounter. A fireball, witnessed streaking above the sandy climes of Two Point County’s Eastern reaches, is chief suspect after a range of unusual illnesses have caused strife, commotion and general unrest amongst the inhabitants of this oft-forgotten town.

As an all-round medical supremo with a knack for tackling the unreal, your administration has operational access to some key locations in the area… including some areas the public really don’t need to know about. The Two Point Squabbler, the County’s finest journalistic institution, wants to know what’s going on… and you’re their ticket in.

Unlock
As soon as the player returns to the world map after achieving Star Level 1in Flemington, three hospitals will be unlocked: Smogley, Melt Downs and Underlook Hotel. In addition, a number of Map Pins will have appeared, one of which is a crop circle, in a forest to the east of Tumble. Clicking on this pin will unlock the first level of the Close Encounters DLC (World 8), Goldpan. The pin will advise the player, however, that they will benefit from continuing to play the base game first. In particular, the three levels in this DLC require several treatment rooms, most notably the multi-illness rooms Surgery and DNA Lab, that are unlocked in the three hospitals of World 3, and the first two in World 4. Gaining Star Level 1in Duckworth-upon-Bilge will cause the map pin to disappear, and Close Encounters will be unlocked naturally.

Hospitals
Take in the unredacted sights of Goldpan, followed by a top security trip to the ever-so-quaint Camouflage Falls, a town that most definitely does exist! Beyond that? Well we’re talking pure conspiracy and pure intrigue. Harrison Wolff, Two Point County’s finest radio DJ, has oft speculated of another hidden location, with late-night meandering ramblings about a place called Chasm 24. Are his fears of robots walking the corridors just baloney? Or is he truly the sanest of us all?

New Illnesses
34 new illnesses have afflicted the denizens of this area of Two Point County, with some of the most serious of all including:

Items
Of course, it wouldn’t be a new area of Two Point County without a new series of delightful corridor-based accoutrements. Place the finest trappings of inter-planetary society in your hospitals and make them look truly otherworldly.
