Photo anomaly guide

Animal Hospital Photo Anomalies

Use this page when the patient looks normal at the window but the photo is wrong, corrupted, realistic, or dangerous to look at.

Photo anomaly checklist

Photo anomalies appear after taking or viewing the patient photo. The photo can reveal a clue that the window view hides.

How to spot photo anomalies

Compare the photo against the patient before moving forward. Ear shape, eye count, horns, face style, and image quality are all useful clues.

A patient can look safe at the window and still fail the photo check. That is why photo comparison matters from mid-game onward.

Cursed Photo warning

Cursed Photo deserves its own caution because the danger is not just mismatch. The photo itself can punish careless handling.

If the photo looks cursed, do not keep inspecting it. Reject the patient and stabilize sanity if needed.
