Barney Overview

Barney Appearance

Barney resembles a white, anthropomorphic rabbit. He features upright rabbit ears, large black eyes, a black nose, and thick black whiskers; he wears a brown hat and matching plaid trousers. He has a very friendly demeanor and refers to players as "my friends."

However, Barney's transformed state is truly terrifying. The first signs of his transformation appear in his face —— the most striking aspect of his altered form. His eyes transform into large orbs with black backgrounds and a single white dot in the center, while his mouth stretches wide into a massive, eerie grin. His attire remains unchanged, though he now holds a sharp knife in his right hand.

Barney's Ending

Barney appears five times in the game, with the narrative playing out differently each time.

Fifth	Barney will ask you to hide from Officer Duckman .	Barney will walk into the cubicle and stand in front of the coffee machine. After choosing to help Barney evade pursuit, you can obtain a coffee machine.

Remember : You can refuse all of Barney's requests; you can close the window or simply ignore him until he leaves. Refusing his first four requests won't stop him from appearing a fifth time.

The fifth encounter is by far the most important. Barney will ask you to hide him from Officer Duckman. If you agree to his request, he will come inside and stand by the coffee machine; if you don't turn him in and successfully help him hide, he will give you a red box containing a coffee machine with a 300-second cooldown. This machine can be used alongside your own.

If you refuse to help Barney or report him to Officer Duckman, Officer Duckman will attempt to arrest him. However, things won't end well: Barney will knock Officer Duckman down with a knife, destroy a surveillance camera, and then leave the hospital, never to return. You will miss out on the extra coffee machine. Of course, You can also choose to heal Officer Duckman afterward.
