Who is this character?
Doctor
The Doctor drags the game into cold, clinical horror. His scenes ditch the romance for raw fear, body vulnerability, and the unsettling calm of a man who treats terror like a daily procedure.
He stands apart from the romantic leads by shifting the game into medical horror. The tone becomes icy, clinical, and intensely focused on your vulnerability.
He is the game's biggest trigger warning. If medical themes, body horror, or a total loss of agency make you uncomfortable, approach his scenes with caution.
