About the Game

Rabid Shift is a game where you take on the role of a doctor in a veterinary clinic. Your task is simple: admit patients, make diagnoses, and save lives. But an ordinary work shift quickly turns into a paranoid nightmare.

Sadists roam the streets, leaving horrific injuries on pets. The local detective demands your reports, the streets dictate their own rules, and the line between a doctor's duty and complicity blurs with each passing day.

  • Receive visitors. It’s not just caring pet owners who come to this clinic, but also those who would have been better left outside.

  • Search for clues. Use a hand flashlight for the initial examination. Find hidden injuries, fractures, and traces of horrific abuse. Every wound is a clue.

  • File reports. Analyze the perpetrator's signature and send your findings to the detective. A mistake in the report could cost someone their freedom, but the right answer might anger those who are deadly to cross.

  • Perform surgery. Take X-rays, set bones, and stitch up flesh. On the table lie a scalpel, a hammer, and needles—use them wisely.

  • Balance on the edge. The fate of the clinic and your own life depend on your decisions. Give in to blackmail or act according to your conscience? Your choices will lead to one of multiple endings.

Can you survive this job without losing your mind?
