In 2022 verscheen de ijzingwekkende horrorgame The Mortuary Assistant voor de pc en een jaar later konden ook eigenaren van een Nintendo Switch huiveren met deze titel. Deze zomer is het plaatje echter compleet, want dan komt de game eindelijk ook naar consoles (PlayStation 4 en 5, alsook Xbox One en Xbox Series X|S) en dat met The Mortuary Assistant: Definitive Edition.

In de game werk je in een mortuarium waar je lijken moet verzorgen… inclusief de rondhangende demonen die nog niet klaar zijn om afscheid te nemen van hun vleeshoopjes. Deze editie voegt nieuwe evenementen aan de game toe, meer verhalen en verschillende performance verbeteringen. De game verschijnt op 2 augustus.

In The Mortuary Assistant, you take on the role of Rebecca Owens, a newly graduated apprentice at River Fields Mortuary, but not everything at this job is as it seems. Late one night you are called in to handle some embalmings. When the Mortician, Raymond, calls the mortuary when you arrive, you soon realize this is a night like none other and there’s no escape from the demonic forces plaguing the mortuary.

Examine and prepare bodies with disturbingly realistic techniques including cleaning, embalming, jaw-wiring, and more. Some bodies require the basics before returning them to the morgue, while others will need more of an esoteric approach to dispel the demons possessing them.
