☕BARNEY || ANIMAL HOSPITAL ☕

Detail Distortion: In the photo, the animal's fur color, ear shape, or horn shape may change. Cursed Photo: The animal in the photo suddenly gains bloodshot eyes, empty pupils, or a huge mouth. Static Photo: The photo is completely covered in gray noise, pixels, or a dark veil. 3. Body and Behavior Anomalies These are given away by strange plasticity and the physics of movements: Twitching: When standing by a window, the patient begins to unnaturally, very quickly, and chaotically twitch their neck, head, or bend their paws at right angles. Limb Stretching: The patient's arms or neck become unnaturally long and thin, stretching towards the player. Void Black / Shadow: The character appears as a completely black shadow without textures, from which only small white dots - eyes - can glow.

Light Orange Deer: Harlow is an anthropomorphic deer with soft orange fur, slightly drooping ears, and small antlers on his head. Professional Attire: He wears a medical uniform—a turquoise-blue surgical suit with a classic long white coat over it. He always has a black stethoscope hanging around his neck. Face: He wears a round medical speculum (reflector) on his head and black-framed glasses on his nose. Harlow's eyes are narrow, with light pupils, and his expression is usually stern but calm. Friendly Mentor (at first glance): For the first six shifts, Harlow acts as a classic guide. He evaluates your performance, offers survival tips, opens new rooms of the clinic, and hands out tools (such as cameras and security curtains). His voice is calm and polite. Sinister and Uncaring Pragmatist: As you progress through the game and study the notes, it becomes clear that Harlow is far from a "good doctor." He works for the sinister Animal Corp, which created the virus that turns animals into anomalies. Selfish Boss: He doesn't care about the safety of his employees. His signature line is, "Your sanity is important. Don't DIE on my watch." He treats players like expendable material, simply expected to meet their quota, even if things get weird (his quote: "If things get weird, just keep working").

Cute Pink Dog: The Nurse looks like an anthropomorphic dog with soft, light pink fur. She has neat little ears. Classic Uniform: She wears a traditional medical gown in soft pink or white. Her main tool, a gray stethoscope, is always hanging around her neck. Kind Face: She has large, friendly black eyes with bright sparkles that express compassion and warmth. Unlike the tired Intern or the stern Head Nurse, the Nurse almost always smiles softly at her patients. Personality and Traits: Altruistic and Caring: The Nurse has an incredibly kind heart. Saving lives and the comfort of her patients are more important to her than her own fear of abnormalities. She sincerely empathizes with every sick animal. Selfless and Resilient: Despite her fragile appearance, she is capable of tirelessly running through the corridors of the clinic, carrying heavy bags of medication. If a colleague is in danger or someone has lost their mind, the Nurse will be the first to rush to help.

Lavender Sheep: The Secretary is an anthropomorphic sheep with soft purple (lavender) skin and incredibly lush, curly hair on her head, which resembles a neat Afro. Strict office attire: She wears the official administration uniform - a clean white collared shirt with a bright orange tie over it. She also wears formal dark pants. Intelligent appearance: Her face is adorned with large round glasses with black frames. The Secretary's eyes are always focused on the paperwork, and her face maintains an expression of absolute concentration and seriousness. Workstation: She spends almost her entire shift at the reception desk, surrounded by stacks of medical records, forms, and telephones. Personality and traits: Organized and cool: The Secretary is the epitome of professionalism. While the Intern panics in the hospital hallways, she methodically sorts through documents. She's never irritated by paperwork. The clinic's "shield": She has a strong sense of duty. The secretary understands that the lives of the entire staff depend on her attentiveness: if she accidentally lets a dangerous, camouflaged anomaly into the hospital, the doctors will suffer.

Tormented White Rabbit: The Intern appears as a young anthropomorphic rabbit with snow-white fur, long erect ears, and a small, fluffy tail. Evidence of Chronic Sleep Deprivation: The main feature of his face is the large, dark circles (bags) under his eyes, which clearly indicate that he hasn't slept for several days due to endless shifts. His face almost always wears an expression of mild shock or confusion. Plain Uniform: He wears the most ordinary, baggy scrubs (scrubs) in a soft green or light turquoise color, which often looks slightly unkempt due to the rush. Personality and Traits: Eternal Panic: The Intern is the most emotional and fearful character among all the staff. He is genuinely afraid of anomalies, flinches at every sound in the clinic's corridors, and instantly loses his composure if the situation gets out of control. Absent-minded, but diligent: Due to extreme fatigue and lack of experience, he constantly makes small, silly mistakes—mixing up forms, dropping instruments, or forgetting where the right medications are. However, he is driven by a sincere desire to learn and become an asset to the team. Eternal Panic-Maker: The Intern is the most emotional and fearful character among all the staff. He is genuinely afraid of anomalies, flinches at every sound in the clinic's corridors, and instantly loses his composure if the situation gets out of control. Absent-minded, but diligent: Due to extreme fatigue and lack of experience, he constantly makes small, silly mistakes—mixing up forms, dropping instruments, or forgetting where the right medications are. However, he is driven by a genuine desire to learn and become a valuable asset to the team. Target for reprimands: Due to his clumsiness, the Intern is constantly the target of stern criticism from the Head Nurse. However, more experienced colleagues—such as the Secret Agent or the Secretary—often treat him with understanding and try to discreetly provide support.

Graceful White Cat: The Head Nurse is an anthropomorphic cat with pure white fur. She has neat, erect ears and a long, thin tail. Perfect Medical Uniform: She is dressed in an immaculate turquoise-blue scrub suit with short sleeves and matching pants. The uniform emphasizes her official status at the clinic. Distinctive Look: Unlike regular game characters, her eyes are outlined with thin black lines and expressive eyelashes, giving her face a stern yet elegant look. A neat, thin mustache is noticeable on her cheeks. Stern and Demanding: The Head Nurse is a strict perfectionist. She does not tolerate negligence, laziness, and procrastination from junior staff (especially the Intern). She strictly maintains order in the wards and operating rooms. Cool in Critical Situations: While regular nurses begin to panic due to the dire symptoms of patients, the Head Nurse remains completely calm. She's unfazed by the appearance of abnormalities. Hyper-responsible: Saving lives is her top priority. She's genuinely dedicated to her work and willing to take any risk to stabilize a critically ill patient.

Black Anthropomorphic Cat: The Secret Agent appears as an all-black, sleek-coated cat with pointed ears, sideburns, and a thin mustache. Impeccable Business Suit: He is dressed to the nines in classic spy style. He wears a black vest over a white collared shirt, a formal black tie, a neat white pocket square, and formal black trousers with a belt. Mysterious, Gleamless Face: His eyes are narrow slits with bright yellow irises (sclera), like those of a true predator. Notably, he is the only regular game class to lack glimmer (life) in his eyes (only Barney and Rettiu share this trait). Cool and Silent Professional: The Agent does not succumb to the panic that grips the other clinic staff. He rarely speaks, interacting with the staff only on business matters to gather information about what's going on. A loyal yet secretive comrade: despite his aloofness, he is on excellent terms with the Intern, often covering for his mistakes. Ratthew, the rat, is one of the few who realizes the Agent's true motives for being in this damned hospital. A pragmatic protector: he considers protecting the hospital his job and does not tolerate aggression. His signature line when attacked by anomalies is, "How dare you bite the hand that heals you?"

Nightmare Silhouette: The Stalker is a tall, unnaturally thin, all-black anthropomorphic creature of unknown species. Terrifying Face: It has enormous almond-shaped eyes with white sclera and black pupils, and a giant, semicircular grin with flat, square teeth, often compared by players to piano keys. Proportions: The monster has extremely long limbs and a disproportionately small torso. It also has a long, curled black tail, shaped like that of a Rettiu rat. Personality and Behavior: Stealthy Stalker: The Stalker lives up to its name—it doesn't attack directly, but silently watches you. It randomly appears around corners of hallways, in offices, near a vending machine, or behind flower pots. Mind Devourer: This creature has no dialogue or personality in the traditional sense; it is driven solely by the desire to drive you insane. As soon as you look him straight in the face, he takes 10% of your sanity (sanity) and instantly disappears into thin air.

Stylish Caracal: Liz is an anthropomorphic caracal with light brown fur. Distinguishing Ears: She has distinctive dark brown drooping ears with a slight color gradient. Face: Thin white rings and expressive eyelashes are visible around her eyes, while her muzzle and whisker area are a delicate cream color. Journalist's Attire: She wears a black shirt, a dark blue jacket, and a light blue cap. Main Attributes: She constantly wears her work tool, a white camera (a specialized ultraviolet camera for detecting anomalies), around her neck. Personality: Driven and Stubborn: Liz is a former journalist for the Animal Corp. news channel. She was fired for "digging too deep" and getting close to the truth about an anomalous infection, but that didn't stop her. She continues to investigate alone, risking her life. Strict and Demanding: She does not tolerate mistakes in her work. If you accidentally take a photo of the wrong patient or miss a target at the reception desk, Liz will become very upset and will permanently stop working with you for that shift.

Blue Lop-Eared Rabbit: Ron is an anthropomorphic rabbit with a soft blue coloring. His long ears hang down the sides of his head and are a darker shade. Office Attire: He dresses like a typical clerk—a white long-sleeved shirt, a black tie, formal black pants, and brown leather shoes. He always wears a "Ron from Accounting" badge on his left chest. Face and Hairstyle: He has short, slicked-back brown hair and black round glasses. His corporate job always leaves his eyes looking tired, and his expression neutral and indifferent. Secret Briefcase: Ron is always with his black briefcase, which has "TOP SECRET" emblazoned on it in large red letters. Personality: Calm and Unflappable: Ron is perhaps the most cool-headed person at the clinic. Even when evil is happening and anomalies are lurking around, he maintains a professional detachment and calm. A secretive intellectual: he works in the management department of Animal Corp and has colossal knowledge of all the clinic's monsters. However, he doesn't rush to lay out all his cards at once and dispenses information in strictly measured doses. A mysterious mentor: if the player successfully treats Ron and keeps him alive, he begins to give invaluable clues. For example, he explains how to neutralize the monster under the bed with maple syrup or how to deal with the Stalker.

Little Black Rat/Mouse: Rettiu is an adult character, but very short in stature. He has a completely black body. Face: He has a prominent white area around his nose (muzzle) and two funny white protruding front teeth. Ears and Tail: He has a long, curled pink tail. Notably, his round ears visually resemble those of a rabbit rather than a rat. Trait: Rettiu is one of the few characters in the game who consistently maintains direct eye contact with the player (looking directly at you) while speaking. Rettiu's Personality: Trusting and sincere: He becomes truly attached to the player. While Barney merely uses you for his own selfish ends and favors, Rettiu sees you as a true ally and friend. Open and vulnerable, he willingly shares his experiences, secrets, and personal stories with the player. Sad and devoted, his storyline is steeped in melancholy as he desperately searches for his missing sister (Rattina). For your kindness and help, he's willing to give up his most precious possession—his signature key.

Barney is an anthropomorphic white rabbit with two appearances: Mask: A polite customer in a brown hat and plaid pants. He has narrow, slit-like eyes and a neat mustache. True Form: A monster with a huge, toothy mouth and empty black eye sockets with glowing white dots for pupils. He often holds a knife in his hands. Personality: Hypocritical: He skillfully pretends to be a tired, friendly, and polite customer to gain your trust. Hot-tempered: He instantly loses his temper if you don't fulfill his whims (for example, not pouring coffee), and resorts to outright threats. Cruel: A cold-blooded serial killer who is not afraid to attack the police and keeps the clinic staff in fear. Grateful (optional): Despite his insanity, he knows the value of loyalty. If you cover up his crimes, he will repay you with a valuable gift for the clinic.
