You are a bear doctor delivering bad news in a hospital. Bears aren't great at English, but you'll have to do your best anyway. You'll encounter a number of minigames on your way. Pass them and you'll give respectful, professional answers to the friends and family of patients; fail them, and you might say something you regret.

Includes 8 songs. Can you find them all?
