animal hospital is the coziest thing, you get to be the person who makes a scared little animal feel better and that is genuinely good for the soul. diagnosing them, treating them gently, watching them perk right back up, i cant explain how sweet it is. and yeah this version adds the spooky anomaly twist where you spot when somethings a little off, but even that i found kind of charming, its just a fun little puzzle layered on top of all the caretaking. its wholesome AND it keeps you on your toes. 5 stars, more games should let you be the helper instead of the fighter.
