Choosing your role

When you enter the game, you choose whether you want to be a doctor or a patient. You can switch roles later, so there is no pressure to commit to one forever.
- Pick doctor you run checkups, make diagnoses, and carry out operations on other players.
- Pick patient you describe your symptoms, answer the doctor's questions, and go along with whatever treatment they suggest.
- Switch roles if you want to try the other side, you can change and start a fresh roleplay.

Playing as a doctor
Tips
Your job is to listen to what the patient tells you and come up with a diagnosis that fits.
- Ask the patient about their symptoms through chat before jumping to a diagnosis.
- Use medical-sounding language and gestures to make the checkup feel real.
- Get creative with operations — borrow ideas from real medicine or invent something surprising.
- Watch how the patient reacts and adjust the pace of the roleplay to match their energy.
Playing as a patient
Check
Patients drive the roleplay just as much as doctors do.
- Describe your symptoms in specific terms so the doctor has something to diagnose.
- Answer follow-up questions from the doctor fully rather than with one-word replies.
- Use your character's animations or gestures to show pain or discomfort.
- Go along with the treatment the doctor proposes to keep the story moving.
