Tender Loving Care was an FMV (full motion video) game. The player takes the role of an off-screen assistant to a psychiatrist named Dr. Turner.

All he knows is that, despite the home's beautiful appearance, no one will buy it after something terrible happened there.

Installation
For the 4 CDs edition of the game, copy all the files from all the CDs into a single folder and point ScummVM at that. Start with CD4 going backwards to CD1 overwriting the files.
Note that some releases contain an impossibly large tlcenabl.dat file that can't be copied from the CD. This file can be safely skipped since it's not used by ScummVM.
Note that the version of the game currently sold on Steam and GOG is a newer port that doesn't use the Groovie engine, so it will not work in ScummVM. Only CD-ROM editions supported, DVD-ROM editions will require the code to be upgraded with the use of VideoDecoder as mentioned on the Groovie TODO page.
