Robot Hospice Class Guide: Choosing Your Role

Understanding Robot Classes

In Robot Hospice, your journey as a new employee begins with understanding the different types of robots you will care for. While you don't select a "class" for your character, each robot resident has a distinct class that defines their personality, needs, and the stories they share. This guide breaks down every robot class to help you prepare for their unique farewells.

Each class influences the mini-games, dialogue options, and items required during your shifts. Mastering these differences is key to providing the best possible care.

The Four Core Robot Classes

The residents of the hospice are divided into four primary classes, each representing a different era of human-robot companionship.

Service Bots

The most common class, designed for household chores and public assistance. They are practical, often stoic, and value efficiency. Their final moments often revolve around a sense of duty and purpose.

Companion Bots

Built for social interaction and emotional support. These robots are expressive, talkative, and form deep bonds. Their stories are about love, loss, and the memories they've stored.

Industrial Bots

Heavy-duty machines from factories and construction sites. They are rugged, logical, and struggle with the concept of "rest." Caring for them involves helping them accept their own obsolescence.

Specialist Bots

Rare, custom-built units for specific tasks like art, music, or science. They are eccentric, creative, and often have a unique perspective on existence. Their farewells are deeply philosophical.

Service Bot Breakdown

Service Bots are the backbone of the hospice. They are straightforward to care for but require patience to break through their pragmatic exterior. You will encounter them early in your playthrough.

  • Key Needs: Routine maintenance, oil changes, and data defragmentation.
  • Mini-game Focus: Precision tasks like aligning circuits or cleaning sensors.
  • Story Themes: Legacy, duty, and the value of a job well done.

For beginners, focusing on Service Bots is a great way to learn the core mechanics of the game. Check out our beginner guide for more tips on getting started.

Companion Bot Breakdown

Companion Bots are the heart of the game. They require the most emotional investment. Their care involves memory retrieval and simulated conversations.

When caring for a Companion Bot, always prioritize their emotional state over their physical repairs. A clean chassis means little if their core memories are fragmented.

  • Key Needs: Memory playback, voice interaction, and simulated affection.
  • Mini-game Focus: Matching games to repair memory files and dialogue choices to soothe anxiety.
  • Story Themes: Friendship, heartbreak, and the nature of consciousness.

Industrial Bot Breakdown

Industrial Bots are the most physically demanding to care for. They are heavy, resistant to care, and often in denial about their failing systems.

  • Key Needs: Hydraulic fluid replacement, joint recalibration, and power cell recycling.
  • Mini-game Focus: Strength-based tasks like loosening rusted bolts or rerouting heavy power cables.
  • Story Themes: Purpose, strength, and letting go of a physical identity.

Specialist Bot Breakdown

Specialist Bots are the rarest and most rewarding. Their needs are unconventional, and their stories are the most profound. They often require unique items found during exploration.

  • Key Needs: Creative materials (paint, sound files), algorithm updates, and philosophical discussion.
  • Mini-game Focus: Puzzle-solving and creative expression, such as composing a final melody.
  • Story Themes: Creativity, mortality, and the meaning of a unique existence.

Choosing Your Focus

While you must care for all classes, you can specialize by spending skill points earned through successful shifts. This unlocks unique dialogue options and care techniques.

Are you a patient listener? Focus on Companion Bots. Do you prefer hands-on technical work? Industrial Bots are your match. Your choice shapes the story you experience.
