Cop Duck is an anthropomorphic black duck with an orange beak. He wears a blue police cap with a black bill at the front. He also sports a neat blue police shirt, a formal black tie, and black trousers. He is a kind, yet extremely responsible and serious cop, truly dedicated to his work. He has been on the trail of the dangerous serial killer Barney for a long time and has not given up hope that sooner or later he will find him and bring him to justice. When he enters the reception area, he is stern and professional, but behind his stern exterior lies a sincere desire to protect civilians from danger.

Location: Reception Area. Entrance and Waiting Area: Clients enter through glass doors and find themselves in a waiting room located next to the reception desk. Reception Setup: There are two client registration desks here. When admitting a visitor, you must first sign their documents and then take their photo. The first desk (Protection): Equipped with a special panic button. It activates massive iron shutters to block the entrance if dangerous anomalies attempt to infiltrate the hospital disguised as regular clients. The second desk (Cameras and Weapons): Equipped with CCTV monitors to detect hidden anomalies on clients. Also to the right of the camera monitors is a stun gun, which the player can use for self-defense.
The Shop: Located straight ahead after exiting the reception area, the player can purchase sanity-restoring items, defensive weapons, and various upgrades for their hospital. Right Wing (Fire Safety): To the right of the shop is a fire extinguisher, which is needed to extinguish accidental fires in the rooms. Right Wing (Wards): Beyond the fire extinguisher is a corridor containing rooms numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Left Wing (Procedure Rooms): To the left of the shop is a corridor with medical units: Room 7 (Heart Scan), Room 6 (X-ray), and Room 8 (Operating Room). Medicines and Items in the Hallways: Special medical cabinets are installed in the corridors with the rooms. The player can find and take the following items in them: eye drops, regular drops, a first aid kit, a thermometer, ointment, bandages, medicine, medicinal herbs, maple syrup, and cough syrup. Instruments and medicines in the operating room (Ward 8) Inside the operating room, there is a separate specialized set of items for procedures: transplant materials, organs, antibiotics, medicine, a scalpel, surgical scissors, bandages, a first aid kit, and drops.

Underbed Monster - appears in wards directly under patients' beds.
Wall monsters are creatures that blend seamlessly into the hospital walls and instantly run towards the character if you look at them.
The Stalker is a tall black hare that suddenly appears from around the corners of corridors and quickly takes away your sanity if you look at it.
Eyes - appear on the ceiling of the chambers and remove the character's sanity.
Distortions on video cameras - on the reception monitor, a visitor may have an unnaturally wide open mouth, a black rectangle with eyes above the eyes, or an elastic body, greatly stretched in different directions.
Photo distortions – after a client's photo is taken, hidden defects appear, such as three eyes instead of two or abnormally poor image quality.
Differences in appearance in person and on screens - any, even minor, discrepancies in details when comparing the client's live appearance and its display on camera or photo, for example, two ears on camera, but one horn in person
How to deal with each anomaly in turn:
How to deal with the Underbed Monster: You need to open the medicine cabinet in the hallway, take the maple syrup and use it on the monster under the bed to successfully drive it away.
How to deal with Wall Monsters: Employees are strictly forbidden from looking at the hospital walls. If they appear, they must immediately avert their gaze, otherwise they will suffer a sharp loss of Sanity.
How to deal with a Stalker: Avoid making eye contact or looking in its direction. Just wait exactly two seconds, after which this black hare will disappear on its own.
How to deal with the Eyes: Staff are forbidden from looking at the ceiling of the wards. To completely eliminate them, take eye drops from the medicine cabinet in the hallway and administer them, keeping in mind that the process of applying the drops will also slightly reduce sanity.
How to deal with video camera distortions: if a visitor's wide mouth, a black rectangle over the eyes, or a stretched body is detected on the monitor, the Secretary at the first counter should press the panic button to lower the iron shutters, and use a stun gun from the second counter for protection.
How to deal with distortions in photographs: If three eyes or alarming defects appear in the finished photograph, do not register the client. Immediately block the hospital entrance using the panic button at the first counter and hold a stun gun under your paw.
How to handle appearance discrepancies in person and on screen: If any discrepancy is detected (such as ears in a photo and horns in person), the Secretary is required to interrupt registration, press the panic button at the first counter to activate the protective iron shutters, and use a stun gun for self-defense.

Sanity: The Player's Sanity level has a maximum value of 100%. Sanity begins to decline rapidly when the character encounters frightening anomalies, sees terrifying things on camera, or experiences severe work stress. Each observed anomaly depletes 10% to 20% of Sanity. If the bar drops to 0%, the Player faints from terror, and the game ends in defeat. To restore 15% Sanity, the Player must drink coffee. To restore 60% Sanity, they must eat chocolate. Green tea restores Sanity differently for each player, but it is more than 20%. These products can be obtained from the coffee machine at reception or purchased in the Store.

Barney is a dangerous, hidden intruder and the main threat to the entire veterinary clinic, skillfully disguised as an ordinary visitor. He is no ordinary anomaly and is not included in their standard roster. Barney looks like a white, mustachioed bunny wearing a stylish brown beret and brown plaid pants. He never shows up on first shift; his appearance only becomes possible starting with third shift. When Barney enters through the glass doors, he is exaggeratedly polite, smiling sweetly and friendly, and then asks the Intern for a cup of coffee from the coffee machine at reception. Interaction with him is based on a memory system. The entire hospital knows Barney is a ruthless maniac and fears him, but the Intern is the only one who doesn't realize it. At the same time, Barney secretly harbors a tender and romantic crush on the Intern. He always addresses him as "friend," shows genuine concern, and would never harm the banana bunny. However, if the Intern betrays him and hands him over to the duck cop, Barney will exact brutal revenge.

The Intern is a 19-year-old, banana-colored anthropomorphic rabbit who is actually a successful experiment by Dr. Harlow. He works the reception desk at the second check-in counter and sees patients. He is dressed very casually: a white and gray sweatshirt with a large, convenient kangaroo pocket right in the middle and loose light gray pants. The Intern is slightly crazy, always overly cheerful, and has no sense of self-preservation. Due to his hyperactivity, he constantly mixes up paperwork, makes ridiculous mistakes out of the blue, and this irritates the staff immensely. Furthermore, the Intern is the only one in the hospital who is completely unaware that the polite visitor, Barney, is actually a dangerous maniac. The Intern is madly and deeply in love with Barney, but desperately hides his romantic feelings behind his usual noisy chatter and hyperactivity.

The nurse is a 21-year-old, sweet, light-brown Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with long, dark-brown ears. She is anthropomorphic and kind, compassionate, and hyper-responsible. She wears a neat, light-blue short-sleeved shirt and matching pants, and a white medical cap with a red heart in the center. Her primary responsibility is treating incoming patients. During procedures, she always wears a surgical mask and white gloves. She is slight of build, but strong enough to lift or carry a patient independently if necessary.

The Head Nurse is a 27-year-old white cat, an anthropomorphic animal. She wears a light blue short-sleeved shirt, matching pants, and a white medical cap with a red heart in the center. She treats the most critically ill patients and is officially authorized to perform surgeries. She always wears a surgical mask and white gloves while working. She maintains a strict and responsible demeanor at the clinic, acting as a caring mother to the entire team. At the same time, she and the regular Nurse are best friends and confide in each other with all their secrets.

The surgeon is a 30-year-old yellow deer, an anthropomorphic animal. He is a true master of his craft and genuinely loves treating animals. During procedures and surgeries, he constantly chats amiably with his patients to reassure them, although, of course, he harbors no romantic feelings for them. His primary workstation is operating room number 8, but if necessary, he can freely visit the regular wards in the right wing and assist his colleagues with treatment there. During his work, he strictly adheres to sterile hygiene rules: he always wears a surgical mask and white gloves.

The Secret Agent is a 28-year-old, imposing black cat, an anthropomorphic animal. He is dressed stylishly and neatly: a white shirt, black trousers, a black tie, and a black vest that perfectly accentuates his figure. In reality, he is an undercover police agent, and his main task at the clinic is to protect the staff and destroy any anomalies that have broken through. In normal circumstances, he is a very cheerful, sociable, and charismatic guy who loves to joke, tease, and occasionally crack a risible joke. But during work or when a threat arises, he instantly changes, becoming a highly focused, serious, and cool professional. The secretary's best friend.

The receptionist is a 26-year-old blue cocker spaniel, an anthropomorphic animal. He works at the front desk, which is equipped with a panic button and heavy iron shutters in case of emergency. He is always dressed formally: a crisp white shirt, a thin black tie, and black trousers. He is an excellent professional and takes his work seriously. He has an ironclad rule: before booking a client, he first carefully screens them through the reception cameras to spot any hidden anomalies. He is cool, reserved, and rather cynical in nature. He is not the type to empathize, gently whine, or cry over other people's problems. At the same time, he is modern—in his breaks, he watches TikTok, is well-versed in the latest memes, loves sarcasm and dark humor, and can use some profanity if pushed. He and the Secret Agent are best friends.
