First shift

Your first job is to notice what normal looks like.

Animal Hospital starts with a simple rule: treat patients after you understand the room. Use the window, photo, and camera reads as a short routine before committing to a patient.

Pick a reset point before the first patient

Night-shift treatment gets safer when you have a fixed reset point. Use it to compare what changed after each room.

  • Grab coffee early so sanity recovery is ready before the first scare.
  • Choose a central hallway or lobby marker.
  • Move back to the marker after each strange sign.
Intake order

Run the same five-part intake order

A repeatable intake keeps one suspicious view from becoming a rushed treatment decision. Finish each read before moving to the next one.

  • Window: compare posture, movement, and the route behind you.
  • Developed photo: wait until the image is ready, then compare it with the patient.
  • Short CCTV read: check the matching feed without staying on cameras.
  • Action: treat only when the views agree; otherwise pause and step back.
  • Recovery: return to the reset point after the action or a failed read.
Tools

Match tools to the hazard you can see

Do not commit to a tool from memory when the room does not support it. The safe action is to step back, preserve the exit, and read the live hazard again.

  • Use a tool only when the visible hazard clearly supports it.
  • If the signal is unclear, step back, preserve the exit, and reset the route.
  • Keep the camera route short so sanity does not drain while you stare at feeds.
Team

Short callouts beat long explanations

With up to 30 players in a server, clean callouts keep the group useful. Name the room, the sign, and whether you are resetting.

  • Say the room first.
  • Call the visible warning sign.
  • Regroup after a failed room read.

Quick answers

What is the first-shift intake order?

Read the window, wait for the developed photo, make one short CCTV check, choose an action, then return to recovery.

What if the window and photo disagree?

Pause treatment, keep the exit open, and compare the camera feed before deciding.

When should I return to the reset point?

Return after a treatment action, a scare, or any intake read that does not agree.

What should a first-shift callout include?

Name the room, the visible signal, and whether you are treating or resetting.
