Quick answer

Complete the active patient before moving on

Treat each patient as a short case: read the task, use the bed, inspect the form and available checks, complete treatment, submit only after a cross-check, then move on. Keep the sanity meter visible and expect flashing lights and jumpscares.

Step-by-step

Follow the current shift in order

The exact treatment branch can vary, but the patient-processing pattern stays readable when you follow the active task.

  1. 1

    Prepare for the presentation

    The official game description warns about flashing lights and jumpscares. Headphones and high graphics are suggested by the creator, but comfort and accessibility come first.

  2. 2

    Follow the task, not the room

    Read the current objective before touching equipment. The prompt tells you whether to move a patient, examine, treat, use the form, or finish the shift.

  3. 3

    Use the patient form as a baseline

    Compare the photo, name, age, and injury with the person in front of you before selecting a decision. The exact set of fields that can change is unknown.

  4. 4

    Check measurements and night vision

    The protocol says anomalies can have abnormal heart rates, temperature should be around 37°C, and night vision can reveal hidden presences. No exact automatic cutoff is provided.

  5. 5

    Account for hallucinations

    The protocol says not to trust everything you see. When a visual warning appears, compare it with the form or a measurement rather than reacting to the image alone.

  6. 6

    Watch sanity and finish the case

    A sanity meter and drain notice appear during play. The complete formula is unknown, so keep it in view, finish the active patient carefully, and move only when the task advances.

If you're stuck

Common mistakes and fixes

Return to the active patient and the task prompt before retrying unrelated room interactions.

Rushing through the form

Compare the displayed identity and injury details before deciding.

Guessing exact safe numbers

Use the game's qualitative protocol and approximate temperature guidance.

Trusting one frightening image

Cross-check because hallucinations are explicitly part of the game.

Starting a second case

Complete the active patient and wait for the next task prompt.

FAQ

Shift questions

Current answers that keep unknown thresholds and branches visible.

What should I check on every patient?

Use the form, heart rate, approximate temperature, night vision, and visible face or condition when those interactions are available.

What temperature is normal?

The protocol points to around 37°C, but no exact accepted interval is confirmed.

Can I trust what I see?

Not always. The protocol warns about hallucinations, so compare visual events with another category.

Does the game contain jumpscares and flashing lights?

Yes. The official Roblox description warns about both. Adjust your setup or skip the experience if those effects are unsafe for you.
