Camera
Photographs patients to reveal photo anomalies. The single most important check-in tool after your own eyes.
What it does
The camera is your second line of defence at the check-in window. Plenty of anomalies look completely normal in the flesh and only give themselves away in a photograph — a different animal in the picture, mismatched eyes or ears, or a warped, unnatural face.
The golden rule with the camera is to always let the photo fully develop before you touch it. Grabbing a photo early does nothing to help you read it and, in the case of the Cursed Photo, immediately drains sanity. Wait for it to resolve, then compare it directly against the patient.
Treat the photo as a mandatory step for every patient, not just suspicious ones — the anomalies that need it are exactly the ones that look fine without it.
Main uses
- Reveal photo anomalies that are invisible in person
- Compare the developed photo against the live patient

Tips

- Compare the photo and the patient side by side, not from memory.
