Handbook

Will it be available a copy of the handbook offline, like a pdf, or will it be just in the game?

Steam games often offer a manual on the store page. But it's true that it would be interesting to have a .pdf manual that you could print out and have next to you when you play if you've forgotten a procedure.

+1 that would be amazing.

After that, I think that very complete guides made by players will appear quickly. But it would be a well-laid out "booklet", which looks realistic, like a real first aid manual.

The Player Handbook included in the Deluxe/Supporter Edition will be a bespoke document with exclusive content, stories, and facts not included in the in-game version!

How can I access this document once I've purchased the supporter edition?

Just add the Handbook to the main menu, optionally accessible via the map or similar so we can access it and read it without needing to be in an on-the-job situation.

Would help a lot if we could just read up on things we are uncertain about without needing to start a shift first.

Hi all! So I think this is actually two different topics, I'll address each here:

The "Dev's Cut" handbook is NOT inside the game, but given as an additional download for players. Depending on the platform, this is how it's accessed:

Console players can find this as an additional download app on their console dashboards, like a yellow tiled comic book e-reader app runs.

Steam players can find this inside their Steam folder for Ambulance Life (or "Sanka"), similar to how digital artbooks or soundtracks are installed through Steam.

This is a great flag and I've already escalated this idea from a few other users (to be able to learn from the manual outside of Shifts). Thank you for fortifying this request!
