    The Mortuary Assistant manages to capture the power of true horror with unpredictable jump scares at every turn. Constantly changing item locations and demon characteristics force you to pay attention and not get complacent. With well-timed audio and unexpected surprises, the fear factor never leaves and you have to adapt to the horrors. While controls aren’t perfect and visual graphics aren’t at their best, it’s still a horror experience worth diving into.

    The Mortuary Assistant is a great game that can only be made better down the line with patches and quality of life fixes. Interruptive but brief bugs did not deter from the wondrous and horrific experience to be had. Deep, bone-chilling moments are aplenty, offering some of the biggest spooks I’ve experienced in a game ever. Narrative moments provide haunting and memorable imagery, making The Mortuary Assistant a must-play horror experience this year. So get dissecting, investigating, and hunting.

    The Mortuary Assistant: Definitive Edition delivers a chilling and immersive horror experience that will keep you on edge. With its atmospheric design and unsettling gameplay, it’s a must-play for horror fans, though it may be too intense for the faint of heart.

    Creepy mortician horror with believable corpse preservation and procedural demon terror. However, both quickly become monotonous.

    Brilliant horror game, great tension and jump scares. Graphics not great but not terrible and can be largely excused due to the singleBrilliant horror game, great tension and jump scares. Graphics not great but not terrible and can be largely excused due to the single developer. This isn't a tripple a game and shouldn't be judged as one. It has multiple endings and each play through is usually different allghough some things can repeat.
