    I really wanted to like it, but I had to return it. not only is it full of bugs, but it's totally short and repetitive. and in terms of terror it didn't scare me at all. bad jumpscares and worse graphics. definitely not worth it for 22 dollars

    I am really surprised to see that it has so many positive reviews on steam, considering that it is completely unplayable due to the number of bugs. I think they have bought reviews, because literally, even after the update patch, I grabbed the yellow note and the game was bugged and I couldn't continue

    I feel like i was inside a chapter of the twilight zone with this game, where everyone sees a reality and I am the only one aware of what is really happening. the game is full of bugs. the graphics makes it look like a game from 2006. the story is a big cliche. cheap jumpscares, and the worst part, the game is way overpriced. the gameplay is too repetitive.

The only thing you have to do is check bodies, and in 1 hour of checking bodies it's over. the developers lied, they said that it lasted 5 hours, but the only thing that can make the game last 5 hours is to play the game 5 times! This is NOT replayability. If you don't play the game 5 times, there is no game. a very cheap resource to extend the duration of the game. If you have already played the free demo on steam, play it 4 more times and there you have exactly the full game. definitely not worth 25 bucks something that is exactly the same as the demo x5… Expand

    I waited a long time and the truth is that I am super disappointed. It's the same as the demo, even the duration is not much more than what we already saw. for 22 dollars it is not worth it

    the length is pathetic. supposedly they say that the duration is about 5 hours, but what they do is that it has 5 endings and you have to beat the game 5 times, with the same repetitive tasks over and over again. very boring and repetitive. a single gameplay lasts 1 hour. it shows that they did not know how to make a long gameplay and only repeat the demo over and over and over

    the game is beyond broken. and the story is practically non-existent. the gameplay is too repetitive, and they even pretend that people play it 5 times. definitely not worth the 25 dollars they ask for

    A very short game for the time that the game was released, it would be possible and I will make it longer. Not a terrible game, but still a lot of bugs.

    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.

    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.

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