Description
Secretary is a check-in focused class. Its strength is turning front-desk work into sanity recovery, which helps players who spend a lot of time processing patients before treatment.
Use Secretary when you handle admissions or want sanity return from the check-in loop instead of from healing.
Appearance
Secretary is currently a blue, rabbit-like class with downturned ears, business-casual clothing, a black tie, brown shoes, large glasses, and a small downturned mouth. Public concept material also shows a possible pink sheep-like redesign.
How to use Secretary
Let Secretary own the front desk in team runs. The class gets more value when one player consistently checks in patients instead of rotating roles.
Build the rest of the setup around the class's actual lane. Check the Items guide for inventory priorities, use the shift guide to match the pick to upcoming pressure, and complete the anomaly checks before relying on any perk or special technique.
Secretary pays you for the admission loop
Secretary is built around one action: checking patients in. The class recovers sanity when it checks in a patient, and it also gains bonus sanity at higher levels, plus 20 starter cash to begin the shift. Nothing about the class changes detection or treatment — it converts a task you already perform dozens of times per shift into sanity recovery.
That makes Secretary the cheapest sanity engine in the roster at a comparable price to the pure utility classes. Where Nurse answers "I cannot carry enough items", Secretary answers "I cannot stay sane while doing the front-desk work".
Why Secretary rewards consistency over rotation
The class only pays out when the same player is doing the checking in. A team that rotates the front desk between players spreads the sanity return so thinly that the class effect is wasted, while a team that lets Secretary own admissions gets the recovery on every single patient.
In practice this means Secretary should be a commitment rather than a filler pick. If you enjoy the admission loop and want it to fund your sanity, the class is efficient. If you plan to move between roles each shift, the perk fires less often and the 120 Animal Coins are better spent on a class that does something on every action.
The starter cash and what it changes
The 20 starter cash is small but it is not nothing: it is enough to remove the opening shopping decision, letting Secretary begin the shift already holding a useful item rather than starting flat. Combined with sanity recovery from admissions, the class has a slightly stronger early shift than its tier alone suggests.
It does not extend into a scaling advantage. Secretary is an A-tier class with a good early game and a flat late game, which is the honest read on the stat sheet.

Secretary FAQ
How does Secretary recover sanity?
The class recovers sanity when checking in patients, and it also gains bonus sanity at higher levels. That means the recovery scales with how many admissions you personally handle during a shift.
Is Secretary worth 120 Animal Coins?
It is worth it if you handle the front desk consistently. The perk fires on an action you repeat all shift, so the value depends on you owning that role rather than rotating through it.
Does Secretary add inventory capacity?
No. Its listed utility is none, and its value comes from sanity recovery plus 20 starter cash. If item capacity is your bottleneck, Nurse or Head Nurse is the correct class.
What skins does Secretary have?
Classic, Auburn, Cool and Detective Classic. They are cosmetic only.
How should a team use Secretary?
Let Secretary own the front desk. The class earns more when one player checks in patients consistently instead of the role being shared, because the sanity return is paid per admission to whoever performs it.
