Doghouse



The Doghouse is unlocked for research in the Research Room immediately upon reaching Underlook Hotel, which requires the Bigfoot DLC; it is a single-illness Treatment room, treating only the Visual Illness Barking Mad. It is run by a Nurse, whose efficiency can be increased by Treatment skills.

Function
Once diagnosed with Barking Mad, patients make their way to this clinic. The patient will take their place at the end of the K9-Away's stone path. while the nurse will man the controls, which are hidden in the mailbox. Pulling the red flag down will cause the doghouse's door to open, and opening the mailbox will reveal the single control, a big red button. Pulling a squeaky red ball from inside their tunic, the nurse will get the patient's rapt attention, then throw it into the doghouse, with the patient racing after it.

Once the patient is inside, the burse presses the button, causing the doghouse's door to slam shut, and the entire structure to be thrust into the air on a giant spring. A few second's bouncing, and the nurse will raise the red flag again, returning the doghouse to its original position, then kick the mailbox shut. The door opens, allowing the patient, now with their normal appearance restored, to gather their bearings, return to their feet, and stroll out, their treatment complete.

Appearance
The door resembles a garden gate, consisting of four vertically-placed panels of bare mid-tone wood. The garden motif continues into the room, where the floor consists of square green tiles resembling turf. Above the walls' white skirting boards can be found a row of bare wooden fence posts painted on, behind and above which can be seen a blue cloudy sky.
