But each location is meant to feel more uniquely yours, and each crop of students are designed to leave a lasting impression. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-06-14-two-point-campus-looks-like-a-sims-esque-evolution-of-the-hospital-formula\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-06-14-two-point-campus-looks-like-a-sims-esque-evolution-of-the-hospital-formula\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 3.5 million Two Point Hospital players and one big Two Point Campus leak, developer Two Point Studios is finally ready to talk more about its new project.
