A horror game in which you work as a mortuary apprentice, performing embalmings while identifying and banishing a demonic presence hidden among the dead.

The Mortuary Assistant is a horror game set at River Fields Mortuary, where the player takes on the role of an apprentice trained in mortuary science. Called into work one night to handle embalmings, the player discovers that something is amiss with the bodies and must complete their duties while contending with a demonic presence.

Gameplay involves performing embalming procedures and other mortuary tasks alongside occult rituals used to identify demonic entities hidden among the deceased. Players gather clues throughout the mortuary to determine the nature of the threat and perform rituals to banish it before it can cause harm. The game features a system designed to vary events between playthroughs, so no two sessions unfold in exactly the same way.

The story of Rebecca Owens and the history of River Fields Mortuary is revealed gradually across multiple playthroughs, with each banished demon contributing a piece to the overall narrative. The game offers more than ten hours of content, with additional details available to players who explore closely.
