Hollow Face Anomaly — Animal Hospital
Visual / CCTV Detection LayerEvidence: HIGH
Quick Answer
Hollow Face: pitch-black hollow eye sockets, a wide frowning mouth, constant twitching and a hunched back. Treating it triggers a Death Ritual — the standard response is to reject it outright.
How to Spot It
- Pitch-black hollowed-out eyes and a wide-open, frowning mouth.
- Always seen twitching with a hunched posture.
- Sometimes only visible through the security camera.
Easy to spot once seen — but it can hide behind the CCTV layer.
What to Do
Reject it directly — treating a Hollow Face patient triggers a Death Ritual.
Special Mechanics & Warnings
- Treating it triggers a Death Ritual (guaranteed per Fandom).
- Counterplay (Fandom): during its recovery stage, stay in the room — you can use IV Drops, Eye Drops or coffee to put out the candles without losing Sanity.
- The Head Banger (the window-banging monster) also has the Hollow Face feature.
- Known bug: opening/closing the CCTV can occasionally make the Hollow Face look normal again.
Source Disagreement
Mouth description resolved: Fandom/IGN say wide-open, frowning mouth; BlueStacks only describes hollow eyes and hunched back — a detail difference, not a factual conflict.
