Animal Hospital Veterinary Clinic

One of the NPCs. As a patient.
This red-orange lynx, with tattered clothes, is not an anomaly. She also wears a camera around her neck. She's kind and talks about anomalies.
She might also ask you to take a photo of someone. If you take the wrong one, she'll be offended, but if you take the right one, she'll be happy. She's also very playful and a little energetic.
(lizz, not Lisa!)

These are small skinworkers, but they're so small and cute that they're not scary at all. You can give them maple syrup and they'll tame them. Until then, the most they can do is give a couple of small, weak bites that might leave marks, but only if they reach the skin, which is unlikely because their teeth are small. Unless you have very short fur or are bald, they won't even be able to get past the fur barrier. They can't kill anyone, and they don't know how. They're very sweet and kind, very, very sweet, and they look kind. Height: 25 cm. Danger level: 1/10.

They hide behind walls and are never alone. Get too close and they'll chase you. Douse them with fire extinguisher and they'll run away.

A blue dog with brown hair. He knows a lot, having participated in the head doctor's surgeries. He's a serious guy, difficult to frighten. He's not afraid of anomalies, knowing how to deal with them. Although he wants to hook up with Siri, he doesn't know how to start, doesn't know anything, and doesn't know anything about relationships, so he's keeping it a secret for now. He can tell you how and which anomalies are best dealt with or made friends with. He knows more than any employee, even a little more than the head doctor himself, since he sometimes works here as an assistant or co-worker, and often chats with the head doctor over tea. Danger level 2/10.

I don't know, probably because it was here that Barney trusted the creatures and here was the one he was in love with, his yellow inter, Buzz. Barney wasn't a test subject, he was more of a contagious, intelligent being. The next experiment was a panther. As a result of the experiments, she hated herself for her weakness and hides under beds where no one will find her. She loves maple syrup, but can also take organ meat or flesh. She appears under beds when hungry, but very, very rarely, and the only thing you can see are her eyes and large black paws. The next experiment was unsuccessful. It involved a transplant. The mutated eyes didn't integrate with the unmutated flesh during the transplant, resulting in their removal. But when it was time to remove them, they were gone. Afterward, the flesh of those who died disappeared, including the eyes. After a while, those very eyes began appearing on the ceilings, capable of driving anyone who stared into them too long insane. But Dr. Harlow wasn't deterred; he wanted to create more perfect beings...
When Barney first became infected, he couldn't control his impulses and became a serial killer. Over time, he learned to control himself, but he's still wanted. He's killed many creatures, but he's harmless now, and he doesn't want to harm the friends of the one he loves, because he doesn't want Buzz to be upset or offended.
Retew never found his sister, but he did discover documents about Harlow's experiments, including his sister and everyone else who had been experimented on, and it broke his heart and his trust. He knows that you and the interns are hidden Skinworkers, but he's not afraid of you because the documents described the risks and how safe and dangerous each person is. He knows too much, and Dr. Harlow is searching for him so that Retew can become the next experiment. Retew may be in hiding for now, but that's for now. The time will come when Retew will disappear forever, and there will be no further contact with him, but for now, he's free, for now... For now...

Dr. Harlow's next experiments were rabbits. They were all normal, but under constant experimentation, they began to change colors, their faces changed, and the once herbivorous rabbits turned into predatory ones. He named their nature Skinworkers. There were initially several rabbits in total... 2 pink, 2 white, 2 black, 2 green, 2 yellow, and 2 blue. A total of 12 rabbits. Of these, four began working on the first floor: pink - Rosie, green - Zein, yellow - Buzz, and blue - Siri. The black and white ones died, the rest escaped, and of the escapees, only two survived: the white one - Yin and the black one - Yang. They cannot be seen through video cameras, but what distinguished them from the others was their wide smile, always positive attitude, and small black impish eyes. Those who didn't survive spread this gene, and as a result, accidents, attacks, and apocalypses began to occur in the city. These events were normal enough to be ignored, but they kept many creatures in constant tension. Skinworkers were excellent at hiding, they could reveal themselves, then hide again, but there was one catch... They weren't particularly intelligent and could also be revealed externally, through cameras or photographs, each in a different way. They all revealed themselves in the same way: their mouths opened, their claws lengthened, their teeth grew longer during an attack. Ritualists who believed in the devil also became involved, and skinworkers were excellent at seeing off these same demons and devils... But all skinworkers had only one side effect. Coffee, their addiction to coffee, calms them and helps suppress their hunger for a while. One cup of coffee is 30 minutes of hunger relief. So the Interns, those same rabbits who were experimented on and forced to work, were almost always by the coffee machine. And Barney, apparently, always asked for coffee because of this. But why doesn't he go to a coffee shop and get it, but takes it to the hospitals? I don't know, probably because that's where he trusted the creatures and where the one he fell in love with, his Buzz, was.

The story begins with a two-story building resembling a hospital or clinic, but in reality a secret laboratory. The head doctor at the time was a scientist and experimenter named Harlow. He was studying genetics and one day, by chance, he discovered a hidden gene, a mutation gene that was not active in everyone. First, he figured out how to activate this gene, then began experimenting on unmutated birds, observing how they mutated under different conditions. He learned to control this gene, speeding it up, slowing it down, reversing it, or even stopping it altogether. But over time, this became insufficient, so he decided to take a drastic step. At first, homeless beastmen of various types began disappearing in the city; the initial experiments were unsuccessful. But over time, realizing the error of his experiments, progress began to appear. Sometimes, for experimental purposes, he transplanted organs into the same creatures—for example, between beastmen and hamsters. He transplanted organs from a non-mutated hamster into a mutated one, and from a frozen hamster into a non-mutated one. Initially unsuccessful, this began to yield results over time. His experiments were on living, non-laboratory creatures, so it was illegal. Therefore, to divert suspicion from himself, he converted the first floor into a hospital, hiring unsuspecting staff. After some time, his first successful experiment was Rattina, who was accidentally hospitalized and marked as dead, forgetting to check on her family. Her brother, not having seen the corpse, searched for her without answering. During this time, Rathinna was gradually driven mad by her constant experimentation, and one day, it was crowned with success: she became a black creature two and a half meters tall, with enormous clawed paws, a long tail, and slightly elongated but drooping ears. She was afraid of everything after her experiences and became very good at hiding. One day, Charon lost track of her, and she disappeared and began watching everyone. Secretly.

At the beginning of the game, Barney comes across as a very friendly and respectful character. He refers to the player as "friend" in many of his dialogue choices, and every time the player helps him, he either says "thank you" or compliments them (e.g., "You're the best..."), mostly for buying him coffee. Barney refers to the player as a friend in almost every message. Despite this, he exploits the player to the fullest and comes across as more of a demanding manipulator than a kind person, as he becomes upset if the player refuses to give him what he asks for. He is highly dependent on the player and feels somewhat like a parasite.
As soon as Officer Duckman appears at the hospital and his appearance changes, if the player speaks to him, he'll say that "friends don't rat each other out to the police..." and even add, "If you talk, I'll kill you, friend..." So, while Barney can be kind, he gets angry when the player doesn't give him what he wants. He's quite sadistic, considering he's a serial killer, and won't hesitate to kill if necessary. He's not an employee, he's a visitor. Incidentally, Barney has a crush on the yellow bunny intern. Danger Level 3/10
First phrase when meeting:
Hi friend, I'm Barney.
Can you bring me some coffee?
I've had a long day...

Ritualists are those who perform rituals in various places, including hospitals. To stop the ritual, it is enough to extinguish 6-7 candles and everything will return to normal.

He just comes, gets examined, and leaves; he doesn't climb around in the ventilation holes. His height is 75 cm.
Ratthew comes across as a paranoid yet kindhearted rat. He seems to be very distrustful due to his experiences. His early comments about how, thanks to his small stature, he can see and hear things most people can't give the impression that he's quite observant and perceptive, noticing details that many miss. His concealment of his identity when first introduced makes him a bit reserved. He's 15 years old. Danger Level 0/10.
1 appearance:
Being small is an advantage.
I hear.. I see..
This is dangerous work..
2nd appearance:
You are a good guy..
My name is Ratyu.
My advice... Don't trust anyone here.
3rd appearance:
Animals with suitcases hide secrets.
Something sinister is happening here.
Be on guard..
4 Appearance:
You know, I'm starting to like you.
The animals on the street think I'm some kind of anomaly :(
But you treat me the same as everyone else. I appreciate that.
5th appearance and last:
I might have to disappear for a while..
I'm being stalked by Animals Inc.
But first I want to talk to you..
He gets the card, comes up to you and starts telling you:
Quiet evening, huh? Just the way I like it.
You're not bad company, you know?
Most people don't even look here.
It's funny that I'm a rat..
Everyone is shouting. Nobody offers cheese.
Ha... an old joke. But it still makes me laugh.
..Anyway. I wanted to tell you something.
I had a twin sister. Rattina.
She's the smart one in the family, that's for sure.
She worked at Animal Corporation.
And then one day... she just disappeared.
No note. No goodbye. Nothing.
I've been looking for her ever since.
..Sorry. I didn't mean to go into details.
You know what I like?
Silence. Just me and the ventilation.
The whole place is to me. It's so peaceful.
..Thanks for listening. It means a lot.
This is our farewell... for now.
After he leaves, the key to the hidden safe remains in the place where he sat.

The building has two floors, but only the head physician has access to the second floor; not even the secretary has access. On the ground floor is the entrance, a waiting area with chairs, a reception desk with a coffee machine, screens with cameras, a photo display, a computer with data, a typewriter, and two reception desks. Further on is the connection with the corridors, and straight ahead is the nurse's shop. On the right side are the regular rooms 1 through 5, on the north side is Room 6 (X-ray), Room 7 (cardiovascular and cardiac examination), Room 8 (operating room). Along the walls are refrigerators stocked with maple syrup, cough syrup, eye drops, IVs, herbal remedies, pills, a first aid kit, bandages, ointment, and fever reducers. These refrigerators or shelves are located in both corridors—whichever is more convenient for you—and that's how you feel. And no one except the head doctor knows what is on the second floor, because only he has access there and no one else.

The Head Nurse is a white cat with gray spots. She's very serious, often interacts with the nurse, and always carries a stun gun, no matter the situation. The Head Nurse is secretly in love with the nurse. Her name is Kitty. Danger Level 5/10

The Secretary is a blue dog with glasses, a white shirt, black pants, and a black tie. He's very attentive but also very irritable. He's not easily frightened, isn't afraid of anomalies, and always takes them calmly. He's an employee. He secretly had a crush on Millie, but after she rejected him, his heart was broken. Because of the agent who supported him and fed him lollipops, his heart shifted to the agent, and he fell in love with the agent. His name is Jack. He loves lollipops, Chupa Chips, and any kind of candy. Danger Level 2/10.

The head doctor is someone who won't help you in any situation. It's not his problem unless it concerns those he experimented on. He's a cadaver and mostly sits in his office and doesn't come out. This office is in a restricted area on the second floor, so you'll most likely have to perform surgeries yourself. But he shows up every shift when he comes in or leaves the building, or just to check on the staff, and he also warns you when an ambulance is arriving. I wonder what exactly he's hiding on the second floor? He's hiding something on the second floor. He's not exactly an employee, but he's not an anomaly either. Almost not an anomaly. But who is he then? The question arises, and it's up to you or someone else to find out. His name is Charon. Danger level 10/10.

The secret agent is a black cat with yellow eyes. He carries a gun with limited ammunition. There are only 20 rounds, but he buys more before each shift. He's a very serious guy, very persistent, attentive, and never lets any anomaly slip past him. He disguises himself as an ordinary hospital employee to find out all the secrets. He can be friendly, but he's only like that for profit. He often sits at the reception desk and may occasionally hit on the blue dog, the secretary. He's an undercover agent or just an employee. He's secretly in love with the secretary, but he can't even admit it to himself—it's like he's at work. He's a cat, so he's attracted to laser pointers; just the appearance of a laser pointer's dot is enough, and he'll drop everything to catch it, just like a real cat. Danger level 5/10

Eyes are flesh with eyes appearing on the ceiling. A sign that they've appeared is drops from a can of vomit. It's unclear why, but they always have a problem with their eyes—they water, so you could say they cry involuntarily. Eyes can only appear on the ceiling and only in offices; they don't appear in the hallways. Don't look up, and they'll disappear on their own over time. If you look at them, they can hypnotize you or drive you crazy. They can't speak because they don't have a mouth, and they don't need food. However, if you put eye drops in each eye, they'll calm down for a few shifts and won't appear on the ceiling in offices and wards, but they'll return sooner or later. Where they disappear from and where they go is unknown. Danger level 5/10

The Underbed Monster only appears under the bed once every few shifts; it's not found in other locations. Give it maple syrup, a heart, or flesh, and it will disappear for several shifts. If you don't, it can drag you or the patient under the bed and eat you. Sometimes, the Underbed Monster can be helpful. For example, if an anomaly is chasing you, just cross the area where it's at risk of being caught and stand opposite the door so the anomaly runs right through the Underbed Monster's hunting zone. It will grab the anomaly and devour it, leaving you untouched. It can't speak because it has no mouth, so how does it feed? Who knows, no one knows, but it eats somehow. Danger Level 2/10

The ghost is just a ghost. It scares, jokes, and can possess patients or visitors, turning them into skinworkers for a while. However, if you electrocute them, they'll remain normal patients, and the ghost will disappear for a while. It can also open and close doors, simply scaring employees and visitors, although the employees are already used to it and aren't frightened, paying no attention to the ghost. A sign that it's wandering somewhere is a flickering light before it appears, but the light never goes out, flickering and continuing to work. It can't harm anyone until it possesses someone. The fact that it scares or closes doors in front of employees only suggests that it likes to joke and play pranks on employees, patients, and visitors. It's just a jokester and rarely possesses anyone. It's a bad jokester who only finds humor in himself. Danger level 6/10

The nurse is a pink dog with slightly dark pink stripes, drooping ears, and black eyes. She's not an anomaly; she's a worker, a nurse, and she mostly helps all the staff and patients, helping with visitors when needed. She's very kind, good, and could be a doctor if she wanted to be, and she wouldn't be very, very kind, but she's just a nurse, and that's fine with her. She's very sweet, kind, loyal, very, very kind and friendly, but she lets everyone in without checking, because in her opinion, it doesn't matter who's there, be it a patient or a skinworker, they deserve treatment even if it's an anomaly. This often gets her into trouble, though, as she rarely goes alone and almost always goes with the head nurse, Kitty. Millie is advised not to let her near the reception desk, but she treats patients well, although during operations she often gets nervous and can mix things up, so she doesn't go near the operating table or the surgery table unless absolutely necessary. She's secretly in love with the head nurse, Kitty, but is embarrassed to admit it to her. Danger level 0/10

Stalker is a rat, or rather, not a rat anymore, Rattyra, nearly two and a half meters tall, very timid and shy, although she can be scary and intimidating in appearance, but she wasn't born that way; the Chief Doctor made her that way. She's always smiling, she can't talk, or rather, doesn't want to talk, because during the transformation, her vocal cords were completely and irreversibly severed. She also always hides and watches everyone from around corners, simply observing, but her gaze always frightens and unsettles everyone, but overall, she's harmless. She's not dangerous; she likes to be noticed, but she doesn't like being frightened, because she's afraid of her own appearance, and she's afraid of herself. After the transformation, she became hyper-cautious and timid and is afraid of frightening others. She's completely black with a small rat tail—the only thing that hasn't changed is that rat tail—and large white eyes with black pupils, slightly drooping rat ears, and a huge, toothy grin with several small fangs on her upper and lower jaws, but they're not at all sharp. She often watches the yellow or pink intern, who she mostly watches, but sometimes she watches other employees as well. Danger Level 2/10

The interns are rabbits, a harmless anomaly who work for the hospital. There are four of them: yellow (Buzz), pink (Rosie), green (Zein), and blue (Siri). They often drink coffee, have trouble distinguishing anomalies from patients or visitors, and are most often attacked by anomalies. They are also the ones most often, very, very often, pestered by stalkers. Their faces are unusually rabbit-like; they are always smiling. They cannot show any other emotion on their faces; they have black dots instead of eyes. Although, no, they can show other emotions too. If their smile fades and the black dots turn into two black avals, it means they are hungry. So, it's clear that they can only show two emotions outwardly, but in reality, they can feel other emotions as well; they just can't change their faces. They don't like to reveal their identities simply because they are afraid of losing trust and friends. They can be quite stupid, but they only pretend to be. Interns feed on anomalies similar to Skinworkers when they manifest and they are alone. Incidentally, the interns are slightly afraid of the head doctor because he is the one who made them what they are now, but they hide it to stay alive. Yellow is in love with Barney, Blue Siri with the Accountant, and the rest are not in love with anyone yet... They are always positive, it is impossible to dissuade them! They are always smiling, always having fun, joking, playing, flirting jokingly and sometimes seriously, they are very kind and willing to share if necessary, very positive and good-natured. Their appearance can sometimes be frightening, but they mean no harm; they are good people. Danger level 1/10

A visitor is an animal that has come to visit someone. If it's not a skinworker, then the danger level is 1/10. After all, they can also be possessed by a ghost.

A patient is someone who needs medical attention. If they're not a skinworker, the danger level is 2/10 because they could be possessed by a ghost, and they might also be dissatisfied with the treatment. Sometimes they might faint during check-in without showing any signs of anything wrong. Take them to a room, and they'll come around in a few minutes.

A skinworker is a creature that disguises itself as an ordinary visitor or patient, but can always be distinguished on camera, or an anomaly can be found in cameras or photographs. They may appear indistinguishable off-camera, or they may be different. For example, they may have three black eyes with white pupils. However, sometimes the changes can be subtle, such as a photo showing one color but a different one in reality, or a missing tail on camera but present in reality, different ears, and much more. A skinworker may reveal itself at random moments, or it may not reveal itself at all. When a skinworker hunts, its mouth opens so wide that the upper part of its face is thrown back and the lower part downwards. Its teeth lengthen, becoming uneven and very long, and drooling may sometimes occur. It eats whoever is closest to it, meaning either you, the patient, or another anomaly. Skinworkers can be killed by shooting them with a pistol or by shocking them with a taser. Upon death, their skinworker appearance immediately manifests, and instead of blood, they have an acid that's harmless to skin but corrodes clothing. Skinworker anomalies vary and have names. For example, external anomalies without cameras or photos include poor posture when walking, sharp and unnatural twitching, a blank face, a fixed and watching gaze, and three eyes. If there are no external anomalies, there may be anomalies in the photos, such as a static photograph or a photograph that matches their appearance. If there are no differences in appearance and the photo, check the cameras. There may be black eyes, an unnatural body, staring at the camera, shaking in front of the camera, being too close to the camera when in real life they're near the reception desk, misaligned ears, or misaligned eye shapes. A skinworker can be either a patient or a visitor. If none of the above is present, then they are a regular patient or visitor and are not skinworkers. Danger level 7/10
