01 / THE GUIDE
Dream Hospital Setting
The game takes place in a hospital that has been twisted by Soboko’s dream, creating a bizarre backdrop for the action. The environment is presented as a side‑scrolling stage where each corridor feels both familiar and unsettling. Exploration of the real‑world hospital is encouraged to locate items that aid combat in the dream version, linking the two layers of the game’s world.
- Observe how the hospital layout repeats; patterns can hint at hidden item locations.
- Compare the visual style of the real and dream hospital to spot differences that may affect gameplay.

Beat‑'em‑up Combat
Combat revolves around punches, throws and a variety of items that Soboko can wield against crazed patients. The core loop is to defeat enemies while progressing through side‑scrolling stages. Boss encounters conclude each stage, offering a more intense test of the player’s fighting skills and timing.
- Mix melee attacks with items to keep enemy patterns unpredictable.
- Watch boss attack cues; they often differ from regular enemy behavior.

Item Exploration
Beyond fighting, players can explore the hospital’s real‑world sections to find items that give Soboko an edge. These items are integrated into the combat system, allowing for varied strategies. Finding items is optional but can make later encounters easier, encouraging thorough exploration of each level.
- Take note of rooms you pass; revisiting may reveal hidden items.
- Compare the effect of different items you collect to see which suits your play style.
