The Mortuary Assistant Reviews
The Mortuary Assistant finally makes its ghastly appearance on PlayStation 5, and brings along a ton of hellish bugs and glitches with it as well. The controls are awful and navigation is a pain. Still, DarkStone Digital has created a unique and engaging horror experience that excels in plenty of refreshing ways and is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. But maybe play the PC version instead for now.
Being the Mortuary Assistant really is a scary experience.
This game just proves what I’ve been saying for years, that you don’t need a massive budget and nonstop jumpscares in order to make an effective horror game. The Mortuary Assistant succeeds where so many others have failed because of its use of subtly and cleverly subverting your expectations. Even though the shifts might be short, there are multiple endings, several of which require multiple playthroughs to unlock, so there is a ton of replayablility here. On top of that, the scares are randomized, so you’ll never get the same experience twice. Despite its flaws, I cannot recommend The Mortuary Assistant enough.
