You play as Rebecca Owens, a newly hired apprentice at River Fields Mortuary. Your job is simple: embalm bodies. The catch? You’re locked in overnight with demonic entities that are attempting to possess you. The game creates a high-stakes race against time where you must correctly identify the demon and the possessed cadaver before your possession meter runs out. What Makes It "Solid"
The Official Steam Page highlights the game's "unsettling atmosphere," which has been widely praised by players for its effectiveness. While the pacing can occasionally feel sluggish during the procedural segments, it is widely considered one of the most innovative horror games of recent years.
~2 hours for the main story; ~19 hours for 100% completion
Unlike many scripted horror games, the scares in The Mortuary Assistant are randomized. This means no two shifts are exactly the same, keeping you in a constant state of paranoia.
The game features surprisingly accurate mortuary procedures, from using a trocar to draining blood. This clinical, mundane work creates a grounded atmosphere that makes the supernatural scares feel far more invasive and unpredictable.
