The Mortuary Assistant - TEASER DEMO
A downloadable game for Windows
NEW TEASER IS LIVE!
A lot has changed since the early prototype. I've been working for about a year on new systems, story, and all sorts of neat stuff! This demo is a teaser of those systems and hints of the deeper experience to come in The Mortuary Assistant in Spring 2022!
About The Mortuary Assistant
Having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, you have taken on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Over the past several months you have logged many hours aiding the Mortician in daily tasks along with learning the ins and outs of the embalming process as well as how to properly handle and care for the deceased.
Over your time at River Fields, you have heard rumors of families bringing their deceased loved ones believed to be possessed or otherwise entangled with the paranormal to this specific mortuary to put to rest. But, with such a stigma around death and what happens when we die, it’s no surprise people make up stories around the dead.
Late one night, you are called into work to handle some embalmings. Death doesn’t keep day time hours. But there is something different about these bodies because there is something different about you. The phone rings with the Mortician on the other end. The rumors are true, and you can not leave.
Perform embalmings, handle the various jobs around the mortuary, and exorcise demonic forces. All in a day’s work.
THE DEMO
The downloadable demo is currently a short prototype of the game. It focuses mainly on the atmosphere and concept of the project. I hope to release a more in-depth demo in the future as the project continues.

Great game!
Embalmed Santa for Christmas! 😭
I really enjoy this game on every replay, each shift and jump scares are full of surprises. I've played other Xmas horrors and indies in general on my channel!This game is wonderful and quite a stunning piece of craftmanship, patience and artistry. I wonder did you use Unity HDRP or is this all the build in pipeline?
This teaser demo was FANTASTIC! If you're looking for a spooky game this spooky season, highly recommend! Will definitely be buying the full game :D
I can't wait to play the full game! Was not expecting a lot of what happened, this was really good. Will be checking out the full game soon :)
Are there plans on adding any new voice work to the game?
So unbelievably terrifying! A game mastered in the art of horror! This game will evacuate your bowels, make your eyelashes crinkle into dust, and cause your latent siamese twin to finally emerge from your back due to the fear your body will experience! Great Game!
Played the game a bit ago - didnt realize it was on itch as well! I had a great time, thank you for the great game!
This game was easy.....and not scary at all....I didn't get scared ONCE 🥲
How is the full game even scarier than the teaser? 😱 Absolutely loved every minute so far
Gonna go back for the true ending!
It begins....
Bought on Steam! Only played the first hour or so. Amazing experience so far :D please, go play for yourselves, everyone!
I suggest buying the full game on steam!! I absolutely loved it! This is probably the scariest game I ever played
Played the demo a year ago and I've been anticipating the full release ever since. DSDev (who is a single dev) has done an amazing job of making a unique, fun, and scary horror experience.
This game is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend purchasing the full release on steam. It has quite a bit of replay value because of multiple endings and many random scares. The voice acting is also top-notch.
this game was amazing im 100% gonna play the full version
Don't play the demo, get your butt over to Steam and buy the whole game. It's an absolute blast, the gameplay is amazing and so fun and it's honestly scary as heck, there's so many great ideas in there, it feels like the work of a bigger studio. Amazing work.
Hey guys so i made a video on this demo, but the comments are telling me I messed up big time. Sooooo expect a part 2
Heres the fixed video
In this video I play the Mortuary Assistant and get very scared while also trying to figure out what was going on.
The only game that actually made my heart beat faster than I thought. The whole game is insanely fun and scary! Best indie game in 2022. For real!
10/10 game please play
I can't feel my ass
The constant build up of tension, horror, and demons trying to possessed you very quick when time is ticking is like playing a movie. It is so crazy!!!
I love how the full game was just chill in the beginning, but giving you that little creeps for you to be prepared.
