The Mortuary Assistant immerses players in the grim role of a recent mortuary science graduate who has taken a job at a local funeral home, only to discover that the work extends far beyond the usual duties. Each shift is a dive into a meticulous simulation of mortuary procedures where players must embalm bodies, prepare them for funerals, and handle the administrative tasks associated with the death care industry. However, the job quickly reveals its darker side as supernatural occurrences begin to blur the lines between the known and the unknown.
As players navigate their tasks, they encounter unsettling phenomena that cannot be easily explained by science or logic. The game challenges them to manage their professional responsibilities while confronting eerie events that test their resolve and composure. Each body brings a new mystery, and with it, clues that piece together a larger, more ominous narrative. The game’s mechanics require careful attention to detail and nerve, as players must use their skills to piece together the stories of the deceased, all while managing their own growing unease about the truths that lie in the shadows of the mortuary.
