One late evening, you receive a summons to work to perform some embalmings. Death does not observe daylight hours. However, because of the differences between you and these bodies, there is something unique about them. The Mortician is on the other end of the phone when it rings.

The Mortuary Assistant Game Review
In The Mortuary Assistant, you play Rebecca Owens, a young woman who works at River Fields Mortuary as an apprentice. After studying for years to get a degree in mortuary services, things were starting to feel pretty standard. Then, one night, her boss called and asked her to take over his shift at the mortuary. Rebecca agrees and runs over to the River Fields Mortuary immediately. However, as soon as she gets there, the door is locked. She finds out quickly that her boss is the one who locked her inside, but he says he has a good reason. One of the dead bodies seems to be hiding a demon, and that demon wants to hurt Rebecca. Will she be able to finish her shift without losing her soul?
The Mortuary Assistant has two very different types of gameplay: doing your job as a mortician and figuring out who and where the demon threatening Rebecca is. Most of the game is about ensuring that tasks like embalming the dead are done right. It might sound sad and gruesome, and in some ways, it is, but it is also strangely satisfying.
There is a list of things you must do to get each body ready for its final rest. These include taking note of any marks or blemishes on the body, sewing their mouths shut, draining the body completely, and replacing its liquids with embalming fluids. The gameplay loop of preparing the dead for their funerals might seem boring on paper, but it is surprisingly therapeutic when you are doing it in the game. Then, when you have done everything on your list, it is time to put them back in cold storage. That is unless the demon decides it still wants to hurt you.
Here comes the second part of the game, which is hunting demons. Now, this does not mean that Rebecca will replace Constantine. Finding demons is more like figuring out a puzzle in The Mortuary Assistant. Rebecca will take note of any marks or strange things on the body of the person she is embalming. As she embalms each body, she might notice things that are strange or do not match up, like marks that were not there before twitching or full-body twisting. If the last one seems worse than you thought it would get ready: the demon has many more bad things up its sleeve.
Rebecca will have to look for sigils a few times during her shift. Sigils are signs that help you figure out the name of the demon you are dealing with. She can find them by lighting a Lettering Strip and walking around the mortuary. When she gets close to a sigil, the Lettering Strip lights up and then burns away. After she gets a few sigils, she can compare them in her computer database to find out the name of the demon that is bothering her. After that, she can use the specific sigils to make a unique stone marker, put it on the body she thinks is possessed to bind the demon to that body, and then burn it in the incinerator. If you do it right, the demon will leave, and your soul will be saved.
The balance between the two ways to play in The Mortuary Assistant is a big part of why it works so well. Getting the dead ready for their final rest is very satisfying, even if it seems tedious. It makes you feel safe because it repeats itself over and over. It is satisfying to remember where the things are so that each embalming takes less time than before. There is even a trophy for finishing a shift in less than 45 minutes, which I was trying to get... until the demon had other ideas.
In The Mortuary Assistant, a demon will mess with you differently during each shift. Sometimes they will make the body you are working on twitch, sometimes, they will make it smile (which it was not doing when you started), and sometimes it will twist and point the way to new horrors. Sometimes, you will go to the body to start the next step of the embalming process, but it will not be there. When this happens, you know things are about to get hard.
The way that The Mortuary Assistant scares you is one of its best parts. It does have jump scares, but unlike games like Outlast 2, Layers of Fear, and Maid of Sker, it does not throw them at you all the time. Instead, it mainly relies on creating an agitated atmosphere with scares that are often very quiet. For instance, you might hear a door open or close in a different room. When one of the lights goes out, you might see eyes staring at you from around a corner. Even when something was staring at me from the other side of a window, I did not always notice immediately. It makes me wonder how much I missed because I was so focused on my tasks at the funeral home.
That does not mean that The Mortuary Assistant has no jump scares; it just means that there are not many. However, that is what makes them work so well. Everyone is well-deserved. I have played many scary games over the years, but The Mortuary Assistant is one of the few that scared or freaked me out. Yes, you will have to keep an eye on your surroundings at work, but it is not like Five Nights at Freddy's. Instead of trying to attack you every few seconds, the demon is more likely to mess with things in the mortuary and the bodies you care for. However, it throws you off when it shows up and attacks you.
Time is another essential part of the game. There is a chance that the demon will try to mess with you and that it will also take over your body. It will happen if you do not figure out which body is holding the demon before time runs out or if you burn the wrong body. Getting possessed by the demon is, in a way, like the end of the game. Each shift is usually only 45 minutes to an hour long, so if you do not finish it, it is easy to start a new one.
Regarding graphics, The Mortuary Assistant is usually a surprisingly good-looking game (for a game revolving around the deceased, that is). Even more impressive is that this was made by just one person, Brian Clarke. Even though not many exist, the cadaver models are very well done. Strangely, the cutscenes do not look nearly as good as the models in the game, but there are not many of them. Overall, the graphics are a lot better than you might expect from a single developer with a small budget.
On the other hand, the sound design is excellent. Even though the voice acting is good, that is not what makes the show. It shines because of the sounds. As I have already said, The Mortuary Assistant scares greatly thanks to its tense mood and small creeps. The sound design is a big part of how well these kinds of tricks work. From doors opening and shutting to footsteps running down the hall to taunting whispers in your ear while you work, everything works together to make you feel like you are there. If you can, I think you should play with headphones.
At the time I am writing this, The Mortuary Assistant has a lot of bugs, which I think is an essential thing to point out. It is not surprising since a single person made it, but it is still worth pointing out. Several times during my shift, I had to start over because of problems like getting stuck outside the map behind an invisible wall, falling through the floor, or not being able to use certain essential items. Most of the time, restarting fixed the problem, and since the shifts were not that long, these problems were more of a nuisance than anything else. I also have to give Brian Clarke credit for how well he talks to his audience and how often he gives patches to fix problems.
The Mortuary Assistant is a unique programme. I have not been this interested in a scary game in a long time. It is different from all the other games in the same genre because it has many creative and original ideas. This game proves what I have been saying for years: to make a good horror game, and you do not need a vast budget or jump scares all the time. The Mortuary Assistant works where many others have failed because it plays with your expectations cleverly and subtly. Even though the shifts are short, there are many different endings, some requiring more than one playthrough to unlock. It means that there are many ways to play this game. The scares are also random, so you will not have the same experience twice. Even though it has problems, I cannot say enough good things about The Mortuary Assistant.
