Shift 1 — First Night Expectations

Shift 1 functions as an on-the-job tutorial wrapped in horror atmosphere. Patient arrivals are slow, the game highlights obvious anomaly tells like Three Eyes or Sharp Teeth, and environmental enemies almost never spawn. Use this night to memorize desk layout: Shutter button, photo camera mount, CCTV switcher, and paperwork clipboard slot.

Ang co-op communication sa "Shift 1 — First Night Expectations" ay nagbabawas ng costly mistakes kapag sabay-sabay ang emergencies at may isang player lang sa Shutter. Ang Ambulance events ay tumitindi pagkatapos ng Shift 4 na may masikip na timers at stacked tells. Ang Intern Class ay nagbibigay ng plus ten starting Sanity; ang Psychologist ay nagdo-doble sa lahat ng Sanity gains at losses. Itago si Barney kapag dumating ang pulis at maaaring makakuha ng second Coffee machine; ang pag-turn in sa kanya ay ibang storyline path. I-reject ang anomalies maaga, i-treat ang tunay na patients nang mabilis. I-call out ang findings sa "Shift 1 — First Night Expectations" sa co-op partners, tapos pindutin ang Shutter sa sandaling may failed check. Sa Shifts 1 hanggang 3, ang shift.

Assign roles even in pub lobbies. Whoever touches the desk first should stay there the whole Shift. Others learn the path from check-in to Room 1 DNA station. Voice callouts like "clean admit" or "reject cam mismatch" reduce confusion when Shift 2 speeds up slightly.

Shifts 2 and 3 — Building Consistency

Shifts 2 and 3 introduce Hollow Eyes, missing appointment paperwork, and occasional reverse speech audio cues without yet spawning Ambulances. Anomaly rate increases modestly — expect one suspicious patient every few legitimate admits. Never skip CCTV because early nights still spawn camera-only tells invisible at the window.

Start buying Coffee from the Shop after Shift 1 if you earned Animal Coins. One stack per player is enough for these nights. Intern Class is free and grants plus ten starting Sanity, making it the best pick until you unlock Doctor or Surgeon. Avoid Psychologist until you understand doubled Sanity swings.

Treatment flow for real patients: Room 1 DNA swab, match result to the treatment item chart, apply meds, discharge. Wrong items kill — read the DNA output carefully. Shift 3 occasionally routes patients to Room 6 X-Ray; send a runner left while desk stays staffed.

Anomalies You See Before Shift 4

Visual tells dominate early bands: Three Eyes, Hollow Eyes, Sharp Teeth, twitching animations, and shadow figures visible on CCTV. Photo anomalies add mismatched reflections and cursed photo backgrounds. Paperwork anomalies show wrong appointment times or species names that do not match the visitor.

Walang anuman sa "Anomalies You See Before Shift 4" ang papalit sa Shutter button: i-reject ang failed checks kahit may Barney event, sunog, o Death Ritual sa ibang bahagi ng klinika. Ang treatment Rooms 1–5 sa kanan ay para sa DNA swabs at basic care, habang ang Room 6 X-Ray, Room 7 heart monitor, at Room 8 timed Surgery sa kaliwa ay hinihila ang players palayo sa desk. Hatiin ang co-op roles para hindi madilim ang CCTV sa rush. Ang maling gamot ay papatay sa tunay na patients at babawasan ang Sanity; ang accidental kill ng hidden anomaly sa maling meds ay hindi nagpaparusang score. Ang "Anomalies You See Before Shift 4" ay nagbibigay ng shared vocabulary sa team — gamitin ang parehong terms sa voice chat para.

Reject protocol: close Shutter, log the rejection mentally, and move on. Do not open for "one more look" — admitted anomalies walk inside and convert later. Early Shifts give forgiving conversion timers, but the habit must be absolute before mid-game.

Shop Spending for Shifts 1–3

Priority one is Coffee for Sanity insurance. Priority two is saving coins toward Doctor or Surgeon unlock rather than spamming consumables. Priority three is a single Fire Extinguisher once you see the fire Event tutorial — usually Shift 2 or 3.

Skip Camera Upgrades until Shift 7 approaches. Skip weapons unless you accidentally admitted an anomaly and need emergency Skinwalker tools. Secret Agent and Security are late purchases for most F2P grinders.

If Barney Event triggers early — rare but possible — read our Barney choices guide before deciding. Hiding Barney rewards a second coffee machine long-term; turning him in advances police narrative without the bonus.

Sanity Management in Early Shifts

Preparing for Shift 4

Review left-wing rooms before Shift 4: Room 6 X-Ray sequence, Room 7 heart minigame, Room 8 surgery timer. Early Shifts may skip these, but Ambulance patients often need advanced care immediately.

Shift 1–3 Preparation Checklist

Before starting Shift 1 in a fresh lobby, confirm all players selected Intern or saved Class choice, understand who owns desk, and agree on voice or text channel for anomaly callouts. Load into clinic, walk the path from check-in window to Room 1 DNA station once before the night timer starts — orientation prevents panic sprinting when first real patient arrives.

Shift 2 should begin with at least one Coffee purchased if Shift 1 earned twenty or more Animal Coins. If coins are tight, replay Shift 1 in a new pub lobby rather than entering Shift 2 broke — the economic snowball matters more than ego about shift number display.

Events During Early Shifts

Fire Events and fainting patients appear in Shifts 2–3 as teaching moments. Carry Fire Extinguisher by Shift 3 inter-Shift Shop if you witnessed fire once. Fainting patients need correct stabilizer item from treatment chart — desk player reads DNA or symptom UI aloud so runner does not guess wrong med.

Barney Event can theoretically trigger early though most lobbies see Barney mid-run later. If Barney appears Shift 3, squad should pre-vote hide versus turn-in before engaging — hide grants second coffee machine valuable for entire remaining run.

Death Ritual rarely appears Shift 1–3; if it does, treat as bonus lore with Sanity cost — skip if team feels unprepared and focus on living patient queue instead.
