The Mortuary Assistant was both a job simulator and a horror game. The embalming portion was well done with no other game of its kind going into such detail; do you know what a trocar is? You will after this. The gameplay loop consisted of trying to find the demon hiding in one of the bodies, certain procedures able to help discern which one to banish. During this there were haunt events, where spirits would pop up and mess around. As someone who’s not jump scared easily, some of these got me so consider me impressed.

It encouraged replayability with five endings in total, as well as randomised events that occurred on different shifts—the intention was to keep playing after the initial first shift. I played it to death (pun not intended), and had a great time.
