Welcome, citizen!
It’s your first day on the job as a fixer-upper, meaning it’s up to you to get the citizens of [REDACTED] back in tip-top government-approved shape and ready to work!
Fix their broken limbs, close their wounds, remove any unsavory marks, and most importantly, make them smile! Remember - there are many expressions the human face can make, but there's only one that matters to us!

i loved it the game play and the story is dystopian thas what i like it chilly atmosphere. thanks for this amazing game once again :3
yayyy we're so glad you enjoyed it! a little atmosphere goes a long way :D
un juego muy interesante, al principio me perdí un poco pero termina siendo al final muy intuitivo, un gran trabajo!
SDHJGFHJAG THE CAT IS SO CUTE!!!
Thanks for playing our game <3
Hopefully there's a version two coming.One that's longer with more backstories and scenarios because this game was dope and full of potential
great video!! so glad you liked it. you'll have to come back and try to find the true ending :D
Say less
5/5 I really enjoy this game and would love an endless mode. The environment was beautiful, I hope there will be more content for this game.
thank you so so much!! <3
For a free game, Smile More gives far more than you would initially expect.
This is a bit of a long review... but stick with me. It's worth it.
Firstly, let me start by saying that the art style is absolutely gorgeous. It's a little "No, I'm Not A Human"-like; high contrast, distorted proportions, and every element has its own monochrome colour pallet.
The environment is dark and everything looks a little washed out, making your surgical instruments feel unsanitary. The characters have exaggerated features, making them seem almost inhuman which only adds to the unsettling atmosphere. The close-ups when you perform surgeries are highly detailed, almost grotesque, with matching sound design for every little procedure you perform. It's even fully voice acted, which I didn't expect. Every element of the design feels painstakingly crafted to fully immerse you in the horror of what you're being made to do.
The game can be completed in just a few minutes, but as soon as I got my first ending I was hooked. You're thrown straight into the setting, with a voice on an announcer briefing you on your job and the procedures you must perform. Only when you start, and find an object that you weren't meant to see, do you realise that there's far more lore and a deeper story to this than there first appears.
It then becomes your choice; either you comply with your duties, or keep snooping to unveil something bigger. There are 3 endings all dependent on how far you're willing to go. Even then, there are more secrets hidden in logs and even by interacting with the main menu, that build the story out even further. I loved every second of it.
This is a really impressive experience that I recommend any horror fan to try for themselves. Even though my first run took around 15 minutes, I ended up spending over 1.5 hours in total replaying and collecting the achievements. I'm definitely keeping my eye on what else the developer brings out and would love to see more short gems like this. They really prove that a game doesn't have to have a 5+ hour playtime to be great. A well-crafted plot, design, and mechanics, make for a really solid game, no matter how long you spend on it.
Hats off to you, dev. You've done something great here.
If you want to see each ending and how to get them, I have a video (with time stamps, feel free to skip spoilers) that tells you how to get them here:
such a late reply from us, but oh my god thanks so much for the in-depth review!! we're so happy you liked it and the video you made is great. we never thought our free game would get so much love <3
This game is honestly amazing. The art style, the sound design, the atmosphere, and the story you are exposed to, all of them combine perfectly together to provide such an immersive and unsettling experience. The world building is fascinating to me, and I know for a fact I haven't reached a true ending yet - I wish I'd had more time to record when I was playing this. I will definitely be coming back to this game to try and uncover more of the story, alongside the true ending I'm eager to learn about :)
thanks so much for your kind words, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed it! love the video. hopefully you come back for that true ending :D
there's a guide up on the game's steam page as well! someone in the community made it so could be good to refer to if you need some help finding the true ending :)
Hi and great work with your game!
I've just played through it on Steam and I really enjoyed it.
Are you considering a french translation for the game, and if so do you need/want help with it? :)
Happy you liked the game!! Unfortunately, adding translations aren't in the plans at the moment as we're moving onto other projects, but we'll keep that in mind!
Got it, thanks for your reply!
I thoroughly enjoyed playing Smile More. My community and I had a great time with both the game and my struggle bussing trying to figure out the mechanics. Looking forward to what else you bring out in the future.
So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you come back and try finding the true ending ;)
This was fun! My first 'body horror'. Love the replay-ability due to multiple endings. Very unsettling and fun! My playthrough here:
Awesome stuff, so glad you enjoyed!!
Love the vid, happy you liked it! Hope you return to find the true ending :D
talk less, SMILE MORE. /Hamilton reference
Very fun and disturbing game, I enjoyed it a lot :)
happy you enjoyed!! tysm for playing <3
This was such an interesting game! The way I had to 'fix' the citizens really creeped me out! Plus, I loved the story the game was trying to tell! I see there is a new version on Steam, I definitely have to play that! This is an awesome game!
awesome stuff, so happy you liked our short little game!
Had a lot of fun playing this and I see its now on steam. Gotta go and play it again now! xD
thanks so much for playing! loved to see you try to figure out the endings :D
Bro I need more games like this 10/10
yayyy so happy you enjoyed!
Really cool game!
love the vid!! so glad you enjoyed it. the game is on steam too with some updates, in case you ever want to achievement hunt (:
Hiiii i love this game its amazing i just wanted to ask if this veesion of the game is finished or qill there be more for the future cuz i loved it
no plans at the moment unfortunately :(( but that might always change in the future, so who knows!
well will you look at that
someone made a surgeon sim hrror game
and I love it
haha yayyy we’re so glad!!
yeah
I actually worked on a surgeon sim horror game for some other game jam a year ago
and it's somewhat like SMILE MORE with the 2D characters in a 3D world but not really similar
i downloaded it because i didnt have anything to do but it turned out to be really really good!! i recommend playing this<33
thanks so much!!
We actually have a more updated version available on Steam, along with a bunch of achievements and hidden lore 👀. If ever you wanted to give the game a revisit, i recommend checking it out there!
Great video!! Thanks so much for playing out game <3
I wish it was longer! I loved it
In an ideal world… but so glad you enjoyed it regardless~!
😱
Nice playthrough!! You missed the secret ending though, but that’s understandable. If you ever plan on revisiting and need help, there’s a guide on our Steam Community Hub for Smile More that someone made!
Really impressive plot. Great horror game.
Nice video, so glad you enjoyed! If you ever want to hunt for the true ending of the game (as well as some other secrets), we have a newer version up on Steam, along with a guide made by the community :)
Heyyy so this shows up every time I boot up the game. I don't think this is meant to look like that... I can't figure out how to fix it either.
Hmm that's so strange! We're not sure what this is, as it's not an issue our playtesters have run into, nor anything that's been reported to us by players. It's possible this may be a GPU issue on your end. Have you tried running a different game? Could help to check and update your drivers!
All the other games have worked, idk why this is happening... I'll try on a different device
Awesome stuff!! Yea, RNG'd bodies have been thrown around as an idea, but this was a game jam game, meaning we only had a few days to actually make the game lol! Everything after that was pure stretch goals and polish. Great video and we're so glad you enjoyed!
Very cool game I hope more content is added in the future
I love the concept of this game so so much, yet i was just wondering if itd be possible to be installable on MACos though..
hi! when we release the game on steam (which will be soon!) we'll be releasing it on mac as well :)
you can wishlist it here to be notified when it drops! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4467540/Smile_More
hey so i feel a tiny bit stupid asking this, but every time i try to do the pins to change the expression i honestly have no clue what im doing wrong id love some advice
no worries! what are you having trouble with specifically? the way the expressions work is that you grab certain points of the face (indicated by the small white circles) and drag them into place. then you grab a pin from the pincushion and place it there before it moves back (it should stay for a couple of seconds, so there should be enough time to pin).
there are a bunch of different expressions that can be made as indicated on the right side of the screen! once you make a new face, the detected expression should update with what that is.
hope that helps!
Loved the vid!! So happy you enjoyed it <3 hopefully you come back again to uncover the hidden ending ;
please add a way to switch limbs without a mouse!!
already planned!! :)
Incredible game but it bugged out on me in the end :( Thank you for the experience!
Ahh so sorry you ran into that bug! We JUST pushed out a fix for it. Awesome video though!!
howd you change the limb you grabbed?
hey, this game looks very interesting to play, I’m intrigued and was wondering if it’ll ever be available for macOS?
Hi! We're working on getting a mac build up and running, and we'll likely be uploading it to Steam for free, along with an updated windows build!
You can wishlist the game here :D https://store.steampowered.com/app/4467540/Smile_More/
Hello! This game is so facinating and i adore the style and body horror. However sadly i think i may have encountered a bug while playing.
I was shooting for one of the endings by giving everyone their real faces doing the malware minigame, i made it to the last defective paitent, and i put in the code, but it gave me just a black empty space and i couldn't do anything but wait till the timer went down.
Now i don't know if its something either im not getting or an actual bug, but if its the latter then i'm letting you know now. Again, been loving the game and i hope you see to this possible bug soon :)
(P.S: You won't snitch to those higher ups that i've been doing all of that...right?)
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! It seems you've come across one of our bugs :( This is one that's been made known to us already, and we are fixing it for our newest build.
In the meantime, that bug should be avoidable if you restart the app completely every time you want to play a new game, rather than starting a new game from the main menu.
I see! thank you very much!
Hi! Just letting you know that we pushed out a fix for this bug (:
This is such a cool game! I really liked it :D
so glad you enjoyed it! <3
REALLY cool concept and such an amazing game created out of it! I cannot wait for it to come out on steam and I can see a lot of attention towards this game if the right people find it, really great work!
thank you so much!! it means a lot hearing that<3
we can't wait for it to be available on steam! it'll mostly be the same game, save for some bug-fixes, minor QA changes, andddd a little something secret o.O
im having trouble knowing what the controls for changing the limbs are, does anyone have a clue on how to do it... Maybe i skipped something but im confused
Hi! To switch the limbs, you just need to use your scroll wheel. We're planning on making it so you can just click the arrows as well if you're using a trackpad. Should be in the build we'll be putting on Steam for free!
OHH OMG TYSM i didn't think of that..
This was a fun play with a really interesting underlying story! Would be very keen to see more :)
Ahhh loved the video so much!! Thanks for playing <3
Hi! Is there anything further in one of the endings where "something" appears on my desktop? Kind of stuck there for some time...
Hey Cursed File! That was initially added as a little easter egg for the programmers. We weren't expecting our little game jam entry to get the attention it's been getting, so we're reworking that along with other general improvements for the next patch!
Oh, that's cool. But than i'm lost on how to find 3rd ending other than loosing or completing the game. Any hints? 🥺
Check out the tattoo on Patient #3 to help you out with that "something" on your terminal. From there, try a new run of the game and pay attention to the red text in the files! Smiling isn't the only way to go ;)
When submitting your files, what you do on the terminal will help you not get marked incorrectly. Hope that helps!
Made a video on this game — it was fun to play and investigate some bonus content. I'd even say it made me smile.
Видос для русскоговорящих, к слову, там показал все найденные мною секреты на данный момент, если вам интересно будет их найти.
put bruno mars back in the game please
plsss he's our secret sauce
This was an amazing game, I gave it a play during discord stream night and everyone loved it!!! NEED the full release!!! Great job <3
we're so happy you all enjoyed the game!! at the moment, there aren't plans to expand on the content - it'll remain as a short game with all 3 endings (hopefully you guys were able to get them!) - but we do want to do some clean up and put it on Steam with achievements :D
Amazing, love the video!! Thanks a bunch <3
