what a brilliant demo. Terrifying gameplay (as can be seen by the thumbnail) and beautiful graphics. I look forward to the full release! Check out my video and subscribe if you enjoy 🙂
Very scary game. I already find the job of a Mortician to be very spooky, so throw in superantural horror and I'm hiding my eyes. Can't wait to see more of it. Keep it up!
Loved revisiting this one! So many improvements! Great voice acting, great scares, ambiance and also so much variety in terms of scares! Excited for the full game!
great game! but i somehow broke the game? idk if im supposed to be able to open the back door near where you store the dead bodies or not, cause i tried using the "old key", got it open cause i was stuck at that one jumpscare where she stands at the window and just walk all the way back to the front door :') i can tell that i kind of broke the game since there was an invisible wall blocking me out? btw, the " old key" pretty much open any doors, including windows!
The Update is Awsome ya'll !!!!!! I am excited to play the full version when it drops in spring next year :) . Only thing I would say is that the mechanics for operating the gurney could be helped in a future update or hotfix. Takes almost 2 or 3 full swipes on my desk pad to turn it around or moving left to right is a little off. But I can say this, ya'll have worked your butts off, because this is so much more intense and story driven from the original demo I played back then. The first one was really badass don't get me wrong lol. But this has me so pumped for the full version to drop. Video coming soon to my channel. ( couldn't get it to upload here)
Hello, I played this game and I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere, sound effects and concept are all great, this game has some really affective jumpscares as well, looking forward to the full game, great job :)
I really enjoyed the first demo, but I absolutely LOVE this new playable teaser - it looks/plays great and is incredibly terrifying! The only small issue I had was navigating the gurney, but I suppose that is what dragging a gurney around by yourself would be like in the real world. From what I have seen so far, I think this game is gearing up to be the best horror game of 2022 and I cannot wait to play the full version. Excellent demo!
Thank you so much for the kind words. This stuff really means a great deal to me and keeps me pumped for completing the full game. I think spring is going to be fun :D
It looks really nice, though some more reaction from the main character might make her feel more like a real person, rather than just staying silent went encountering all these things. Plus some subtitles would be nice, but otherwise really excellent work.
Subtitles will be in the full version. You can see a tiny hint of the system when you first enter the mortuary. I simply haven’t gotten to stand the whole thing up yet but they will be there!
I chose specifically to not have a lot of reaction VO. I’ve always felt it breaks immersion to have the game tell you how you should be feeling. Instead, I opted for reactions from her that pertain to telling her story to the player and informational dialogue for the players benefit.
You don’t get tons of it in the demo but there is a lot of her story in the full game. I just have never liked when I play a game and the character has a reaction that is extremely strong to something the player may not feel is worth it. I’d rather have the player assume the reactions of the protagonist. May not be everyone’s cup of tea though and that’s understandable.
10/10. Would embalm again. Honestly though, great job with the second demo. I was spooked a fair few times and it seems like I didn't see every scare either. After playing this I'm very hyped for the full game.
There are a good number in the demo and the haunt system chooses them and runs them based on your actions. So there is a good chance you did not see them all. There’s often something right behind you that if you don’t see it, will be removed and re-cycle back into the system for later use. If you re-play, the experience will be different. Not HUGELY different in the demo but in the full game it will be different story events, hauntings, bodies, and demon.
I had some issues rotating the gurney....although, this could have been my mouse? I also have a bad habit of picking up every object I see in horror games. As a result, I found myself unable to proceed because I had too many items and couldn't pick up what I needed to continue.
Either I couldn't figure out how to discard/use each item or this is just a small bug (which I'm sure will be patched for the release.) My derpy mistakes and potential bugs aside, this is absolutely fantastic.
The atmosphere, story, scares, voice acting, environment, and game play are great. This is really awesome for a solo dev team. I can't wait for the full release!
You can drop items in your inventory. If you press tab to view what you have and select an item, for most items, a drop button will appear under the description.
I've never been this scared playing a game. The atmosphere is unmatched, the scares range from subtle to full blown jump scares, the environment is unsettling, and the story is mind bending. This feels and plays like a AAA title. I can't recommend this game enough.
This game is so incredibly detailed and high quality. It's insane that this is Indie and not from a bigger studio. 1000% worth a play and excited for the full game too!
I'm really intrigued and curious to see what the final product is going to look like. Definetely will add to my wishlist on Steam. Great demo/prototype! Starts at 36:48 in the video.
Tried this during Steam Next Fest, and I enjoyed it alot. Even though this is a really short demo it makes me want to try the full game when it is out. Also I really liked the movements of the person at the end, was done well!

Thank you!
My god this was such a heartstopping DEMO! Well done!
Thank you!

Yeah I have seen that bug. I have it fixed and will be doing an update to the demo probably tonight. Thanks for mentioning jt!
Great demo despite a few little frustrations! Looking forward to the full game! Game starts at 12:39.

Are you sure you're not afraid to work here?

Thanks, glad to know I was just derping!
Thank you so much!
Очень круто выглядит игра, поиграл, но мне нужен русский язык, чтобы получить больше удовольствия. )))
Hopefully I will get some translation done for the full launch! I’ve built the game to be easily translated.
Easy translation is not for me ))))
Loved playing this. Can not await playing this when the full game comes out!!
This game is so incredibly detailed and high quality. It's insane that this is Indie and not from a bigger studio. 1000% worth a play and excited for the full game too!
