'''Intimate (Night)''' (1-2) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the Night Shift version of [[Intimate]].

== Synopsis ==

The player treats Hailey as she expresses confusion and sadness over Logan's reluctance to confess his romantic feelings to her. Halfway through the level, Logan insists on being treated in the same room as Hailey, attempting to build up the courage to confess his feelings to her. Unlike the day level, where the player had Paige's cooperation to treat the two patients, Ian does not cooperate with the player to treat both patients at once. Since his game "finally found a match," he leaves the player to treat both patients at once by themself. After the level, Hailey tries to get Logan to confess his feelings, but he is once again too nervous to properly do so, and leaves abruptly, leaving Hailey confused and sadder. The post-clear text for Hailey has her saying "Everything will be okay. I think he's just shy," signifying that Hailey is feeling better despite the lack of resolution.

== Gameplay ==

=== 2-player mode ===

Player 1 treats [[Hailey]] while player 2 treats [[Logan]], both of whose patterns are identical to their singleplayer patterns. Unlike [[Intimate]], Hailey is always treated by player 1 before Logan appears.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
*In-game, this level lists Hailey as being the sole patient. This is untrue, as Logan is another patient the player has to treat in the level. This is likely done on purpose; the Day Shift counterpart has the player only treating a single patient, which sets up the surprise for the Night Shift level to have the player treating both Hailey and Logan at once.
*Ian's dialogue mentions his game having "found a match," leaving the player to take care of both Hailey and Logan. This contrasts 1-2, where Paige cooperates with the player and takes care of the second patient. However, in Two Player mode, 1-2 has altered dialogue where Paige simply instructs Player 2 to take care of Hailey. Since 1-2N has no altered dialogue for if Two Player is enabled, this unintentionally makes Ian's dialogue out of place; Paige has demonstrated that it is valid to instruct the second player to take care of a patient, so Ian has no need to bring up the fact that he needs to attend his game, and he should instead instruct Player 2 to take care of Logan.

'''Intimate''' (1-2) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is [[Intimate (Night)]].

It introduces the characters [[Logan]] and [[Hailey]], and the [[Row Xs]] mechanic.

== Synopsis ==

The player treats Logan for what Ian calls "excessive schmaltziness." Halfway through the level, Hailey insists on being treated in the same room as Logan. The player and [[Paige|Dr Paige]] cooperate to treat the two, Paige handling Hailey's row. After the level, Hailey explains to Logan that she got worried since he had told her he was going to the hospital without any explanation. Logan apologizes, explaining that he said "something stupid" in their last conversation, before Hailey cuts him off to reassure him, saying that they now have time to discuss what it was that he wanted to say. Paige then continues the player's tour of the hospital.

== 2P Changes ==
* Player 1 and Player 2 swap control of Logan's heartbeat three times. After the first interlude, Player 2 takes control of Hailey's heartbeat instead of the CPU. Paige's dialogue changes, directing Player 2 to take care of Hailey. Player 1 takes control of Logan's heartbeat. The two players retain control of their respective heartbeats until the level ends.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
* If Two Player mode is enabled, the second player will be made to handle Hailey's row of heartbeats after the first interlude. Since 1-2 and 1-2N have identical beat patterns, with the only difference being a change in dialogue and visuals, this makes it able to functionally experience 1-2N before 1-2N is actually unlocked.
::* Additionally, in 1-2, Player 1 and Player 2 swap control of the first patient's standalone heartbeat several times. However, in 1-2N, Player 1 has full control of the first patient's standalone heartbeat, with Player 2 having no gameplay input until after the first interlude, where they take care of the second patient's heartbeat. This means that, on Two Player mode, 1-2 has more input complexity than its Night Shift variant, since the two players have to juggle control of the first patient's heartbeat.
* This the only level in which Two Player mode enables player control of a patient whose heartbeat is normally controlled by an NPC.
