Public presence
Players see catalog-backed fictional first, middle, and last names, locations, visible appearance, and bounded ward activity—not private account identifiers or legal names.
Cooperative hospital social play
Coordinate without surrendering privacy, consent, or judgment.
Learn how public presence, shared actions, private character dialogue, consent-aware evidence, and server authority create cooperative Protocol 5 hospital gameplay.
Cooperation and trust
What replaces conventional combat in the hospital?
Players coordinate through observation, timing, evidence comparison, object custody, character conversations, and shared decisions. The hospital is a social mystery first: the difficult question is not only how to open a route, but which conclusions can be supported without coercing disclosure.
Shared actions
One player can restore power while another works in the laboratory or compares records. Accepted changes become visible to everyone in the instance.
Private character dialogue
NPC conversations are private and bounded. Public activity records only safe summaries rather than raw player text.
Consent-aware interaction
Characters have boundaries, may decline topics, and distinguish personal accounts from independently verifiable records.
Anti-grief authority
Critical objects can be recovered after disconnects, instances reject stale writes, and no client can award itself progress.
Day Room life
The Continuity Circle, cards, radio, case notes, and character relationships give the hospital a social destination beyond the first escape route.
