01

Use a multi-clue standard

Reliable identification comes from independent clues. A changed face, impossible body feature, wrong room detail, strange movement, or conflicting camera view becomes much stronger when another source confirms it.

02

Clue categories

Patient appearance

Compare proportions, eyes, limbs, markings, and silhouette with the reference.

Behavior

Watch for movement or reactions that do not fit a normal patient visit.

Environment

Scan doors, props, walls, lights, and room layout for changes.

CCTV

Use cameras to confirm movement, room state, and clues you cannot safely approach.

03

Confirmation workflow

  1. Freeze your first impression; do not report immediately.
  2. Name the exact detail that looks wrong.
  3. Find a second clue from another category.
  4. Check whether a teammate sees the same discrepancy.
  5. Choose the game action that matches the confirmed threat.
04

When clues conflict

Back away and re-check the baseline. Camera angle, lighting, and player movement can create false positives. If the hospital is already in an emergency state, survival takes priority over perfect identification.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should I check first on a patient?+

Start with the silhouette and major body features, then compare smaller markings and behavior.

Why use CCTV if I can inspect the room?+

CCTV gives a safer second viewpoint and can reveal movement or room changes that are easy to miss up close.
