How to play Animal Hospital on Roblox?
Palyers need to register normal patients and avoid anomalies in Animal Hospital–RobloxRoblox’s Animal Hospital tasks you to check-in animal patients and treat them at a small hospital for monetary rewards. However, some of these patients are secretly anomalies. You need to avoid registering these anomalies to avoid hauntings that can ultimately end your shift run.
Instead of a health bar, the game uses a Sanity system–similar to Phasmophobia–where you need to keep your Sanity percentage above 0% by drinking coffee (or other alternatives) to avoid going crazy and dying.
Being around anomalies can significantly decrease your Sanity, especially when encountering rituals, attacks, or disturbances, mostly as a result of registering anomaly patients or not sending them away.
To detect anomalies early on, players can take photographs, check the CCTV, detect Sanity decrease, and so on, to spot if there is anything out of the ordinary. Some patients have more obvious signs than others.
While handling these supernatural threats on the side, you must also perform your nursing duty diligently. You are required to treat normal patients by giving them the correct medicines. Neglecting or providing the wrong treatment can kill a patient–and three deaths ultimately mean you’re out.
After surviving a shift, players will get monetary rewards, including money for that specific campaign and collectable currency, Animal Coins. Money in the game allows you to purchase upgrades and items, such as Tasers and Coffee. Meanwhile, Animal Coins are permanent currencies that you can use to purchase Classes.
Giving patients the wrong medicine or neglecting them will result in patient's death.Starting a new game takes you back to day one. Each successful shift adds a day counter to your “Total Shifts” that are permanently visible on top of your avatar in the lobby. It's a streak players will want to rack up–for bragging rights and all–similar to the 99 Nights in the Forest progression system.

Surgeon is one of the Classes available in Animal Hospital–RobloxIn Animal Hospital, players can use Animal Coins to purchase various Classes, each providing their respective perks and benefits.
