Mental Hospital Patient Rules

The hospital has a total of 6 floors. If an elevator or staircase shows a 7th floor, do not enter and do not inform the nurses.

Every morning at 7:00, a nurse will make rounds. If the person making rounds one day is not wearing an ID badge, pretend you haven't woken up.

This hospital has no pediatric ward.

If you hear a child crying in the hallway, immediately return to your room and close the door.

If someone knocks on your room door at night and says "I'm a new doctor," do not open the door. The hospital will not schedule new doctor rounds at dawn.

The mirrors in the rooms are covered after 23:00 every night. If you find a mirror uncovered, do not look in it and do not try to cover it yourself.

The hospital cafeteria provides only three meals per day.

If someone pushes a meal cart and knocks on your door at dawn, saying they're delivering a "fourth meal," do not respond.

You may see a patient wearing a dark blue uniform wandering the hallway. The hospital has not issued dark blue patient gowns. Do not talk to him.

If you see a small hill in the garden during your walk that wasn't there yesterday, leave the garden immediately.

Do not tell anyone after returning to your room.

Every night at 0:30, the hallway lights will briefly go out.

The blackout will not last more than 30 seconds.

If more than 30 seconds pass and the lights haven't come back on, close your eyes and do not look at the hallway.

The hospital does have a night watchman.

If you see two night watchmen at night, remember: one of them is not.

If a patient tells you "this isn't actually a mental hospital," do not believe them and do not listen further.

One final rule, very important:

If you discover that everyone is following these rules except you don't need to follow them, go find the director immediately.
