In recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the great sci-fi series, Trilobyte Games is proud to offer Tender Loving Care at a reduced price. What do these two Doctors have in common? Read on!

TLC, starring John Hurt, is a provocative, psychological thriller that lifts the touch screen entertainment experience to new heights.

"...a great and fascinating combination of computer game and movie.” - McDonald's Kino News

"... one of the most effective interactive films that has ever entered the mainstream market." - Digital Bayou

"... an engaging, interactive movie for grown-ups ..." - The Portland Oregonian

Starring two-time Oscar-nominee and 4 time BAFTA winner John Hurt (Alien, V for Vendetta), and based on a novel by Andrew Neiderman (Devil’s Advocate), TLC provides all of the pleasures of a traditional motion picture while satisfying the voyeuristic and self-analytic interests engaged by its unique interactive elements. TLC is not like other so-called interactive movies; its design is unprecedented in that the viewer’s psyche is the invisible director of the tale, determining both character and plot development every step of the way. The possible alternative versions of the experience are virtually infinite.

You, the viewer, must help psychiatrist Doctor Turner (John Hurt) unveil the desperate triangle of power, lust, and deception formed by his beautiful, tragic patient, her dangerous husband, and the enigmatic, seductive psychotherapist who suddenly enters their lives. Your own psyche becomes the key to what happens on the screen. Your answers to Doctor Turner’s probing questions about the characters’ behavior, and about your own personal psychology, invisibly determine the course of action and outcome of the story. TLC is a sort of virtual biofeedback device that senses your desires, needs, and fears, and then shapes its story to reflect, and satisfy, your deepest cravings. You, too, become one of Doctor Turner’s patients. You can read your own developing personality profile after each Q&A session with the Doctor, and receive ongoing psychological analysis throughout the game.

Tender Loving Care is an absolutely unique experience, combining high-end movie production with computer game-like interactivity for the first time. It’s also the very first title made specifically for iPad years before there was an iAnything; it’s not a re-purposed movie you’ve seen before, or a ported-over computer game. TLC takes full advantage of touch screen technology in a way no one else has even imagined before now.

Wish they’d update...
SylverNuckelavee

There’s probably not much chance of the developer updating this for iOS 11, but I really wish they would. This is an old favorite I’d love to keep playing.


iOS 11 not supported☹️

I would like to play this again but the developer didn’t updated to the newest iOS. Hopefully in the future they well.


An interesting twist
DodgerDog78

An excellent port of a vintage product. This game feels like it was made for the iPad. The gameplay is standard adventure game fare, but adds a great psycho-analytic twist. You might just find out something about yourself as you unravel the whole sordid storyline. Don't miss out on this one!


Whoa

This game kept me up all night. Very good twists, and the radio bits were hilarious!


Skeptic won over
wemetintheair

I was pretty skeptical about this one, but it's a well crafted little microcosm. The pacing is slow at times, and the dated clothing and hairstyles definitely clue you in to its age, but the acting is surprisingly good and the subtle changes upon replay make it ultimately worthwhile.


Unique

It's not the beat movie game, but it is still fun. You get to watch scenes and do some exploring. Eventually, the doctor will ask you some questions so you have to pay attention to details. Man!!! Where is 11th hour game for ipad and where is t7g3 game?? Lol.


Surprisingly deep
Crunk Daddy

Give this a chance - very "7th Guest" house navigation coupled with an intriguing somewhat personalized adventure once you get into the story. Pacing is nice, things don't unfold too quickly or too slowly. If you're down with a 1990s era PC point-and-click adventure with *lots* of video, and you have the patience reequired to get through the opening video(s), this is a neat little game that can become quite addictive. The "Profile" feature, where the Doctor gives a profile on YOU according to your actions / beliefs / interpretations of/in the adventure is innovative indeed and gives this game even more depth. Thanks, Trilobyte!


Awesome!
Osephala

I played this game back in 2000, and I was very excited when I saw it in the App Store. I love playing games from a long time ago, so I enjoyed playing it again and will play it again to get different results. Thanks for releasing this for iPad!


Not what you'd expect
The Max Max Max Max

The first five minutes brace you for what might be a several-hour journey through 90s trash, worn-out clichés, and sub-porno acting. At times you wonder if this whole game is some strange game developer's erotic fantasies. Thankfully, after a jarringly cheesy introduction of the characters and premise the game proves to be a thoughtful, exciting, highly unique journey with surprisingly good acting. The interactive "quiz" components don't quite work, as their logic appears to be quite fuzzy in the end — and there seems to be a huge quality gap between the film writing and the interactive writing — but in the end the gameplay proves to add an interesting layer of richness. Hugely recommended for FMV nerds like myself, and generally recommended for people looking for a few hours worth of uniquely engaging cinema.


Tender loving care

Great game! Now give us the real deal... Night Trap would be amazing to play Night trap with those blood sucking vampires now that's a classic fmv game. Don't get caught in the night.. Night trap
