The system was conceived by entrepreneur and Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins. The consoles were manufactured according to specifications created by The 3DO Company, and were originally designed by Dave Needle and RJ Mical of New Technology Group. Further renditions of the hardware were released in 1994 by Sanyo and Goldstar. The game has never been officially released outside Japan, although fan translations exist.The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, often called simply 3DO, is a video game console originally produced by Panasonic in 1993. Like Alone in the Dark, Doctor Hauzer has been viewed by some sources as a notable step in the early evolution of the survival horror genre. The game garnered mostly favorable opinions regarding its gameplay and the player's ability to change camera views, though reviewers widely disapproved of its short length and slow frame rate. It has enjoyed positive commentary for its sound design and achievement of 3D graphics on a home console. In spite of the game's single region-exclusivity, Doctor Hauzer has been reviewed by several publications outside Japan and has been met with an overall average critical reception.

These characteristics were carried over into Riverhillsoft's next game, OverBlood.

However, Doctor Hauzer is the first of this genre to include fully 3D environments that the player can explore while freely swapping between third-person, first-person, and top-down perspectives.

Doctor Hauzer has stark graphical and gameplay similarities with early titles in the Infogrames survival horror series Alone in the Dark, which feature 3D polygonal characters and objects set against fixed, pre-rendered backgrounds.
