Ghosts

"A ghost has been sighted in the hospital!"

- Announcer

After the death of a patient, there is a 50% chance they will return to haunt the hospital! A Janitor with the Ghost Capture Qualification will be required to lay the spirit to rest.

Each time a Janitor captures a ghost they gain 10 in the illness which killed that particular Pointian. Meaning the more ghosts busted, the more progress is made towards preventing future deaths. Although it isn't recommended as the primary method of learning!

Ghosts scare nearby Patients and Staff, causing them to run away and giving them a negative feeling: "Scared of Ghost". This reduces their Happiness.

Busting ghosts is not the only job they create for janitors; ghosts have a tendency to drip ectoplasm around the hospital, which will also require mopping up.

When a player mouses over a Ghost, a pop-up will inform them how the Patient expired. For instance, "Treatment failed for Misery Guts."

Ectovat


A Janitor who has captured a ghost can use their dustbuster to deposit it into the Ectovat. This will then be stored inside the tank in the form of yellow trails of light.

Any member of staff may visit the Ectovat for a recharge. They will step onto the footplate, hold the two handles, and let the Energy flow into them, giving them a 50% boost to their energy gauge. If this takes them over 80%, they will receive the Energised feeling.
