I am so glad I'm not the only one that drugged the poor croc to freaky levels - well, actually to the point that somehow his therapy was causing insane regression and the only option they gave me was shock treatment. And I couldn't make it shut off!!! It was totally starting to freak me out, because the first time I used the shock machine was entirely accidental - I clicked on what I thought was the stethoscope under the bed, and the next thing I knew, the poor sheep was strapped down and convulsing. And there was no exit! I flinched every time I pushed the button and his wool wigged out. But even more disturbing to me was the de-sensitization of my own senses that occurred over the course of the game, because when I got to the croc, I just braced myself and pushed the button over and over, hoping that there was a magic number and it would all cease. But it didn't. So I first left the sheep abandoned in some forgotten treatment room, remembered only by the purple splotch in the waiting room recalling his past presence, and then I fled from the crocodile, left on the treatment table in the fetal position, strapped down, and electrically spazzing open and closed like neurotic pliers. And he was far worse off then - his mental stability gauge had hit red - than he had been when I started to "help" him. After my session with that little game, I am feeling a little in need of some psychiatric help myself....But with my luck, I'd end up with a shrink that played the game like me....

I dunno, I wasn't all that freaked out about the game. I did my best to make sure that I could cure the animals without using shock treatment and for the most part I did.
I was bothered though, by the fact that the game tried to get you (the player) to try and buy the animals. But I guess it kind of makes sense after what Prof. Parent said in class, that it was after the fact that the game sold the toys or rather at the behest of the gamers they began to sell. I guess the other players failed to understand the intro to the game.
