June 21, 2026 6 min read Systems
Sanity is your health meter. Most deaths come from stacking several small mistakes before a major event begins.
How sanity is lost
- Passive job stress
- Enemy attacks and direct observation
- Tasing a normal patient
- Fire and ritual interactions
- Cursed photos and broken camera events
How to recover
- Coffee restores sanity over three sips.
- Chocolate provides stronger recovery.
- Secretary, Doctor, Surgeon, and Intern change sanity management.
- Correctly neutralizing threats may provide small recovery in some cases.
Team rule
Teammates cannot always see one another’s exact sanity. Call out low sanity before taking shared coffee or beginning a dangerous event.
