## What it is
CorsixTH is an open-source reimplementation of the 1997 Bullfrog business simulation game Theme Hospital, written in Lua and C++. It faithfully recreates the original while adding modern OS support, high resolutions, and quality-of-life improvements, requiring original game assets to run.

## Use cases
- play Theme Hospital on modern Windows, macOS, or Linux
- run Theme Hospital at high widescreen resolutions
- complete the full Theme Hospital campaign with bug fixes
- play a classic hospital management sim without the original engine's compatibility issues
- contribute to or mod an open-source game remake

## When to choose
- you own the original Theme Hospital (CD or GOG/EA copy) and want to play it on modern systems
- you want high-resolution, cross-platform versions of the classic game
- you want an actively maintained remake with a full playable campaign

## When to avoid
- you don't own or can't obtain the original Theme Hospital game data files
- you want a fully original game rather than a remake of an existing one
- you need a game that runs without any external proprietary assets
