About The Mortuary Assistant
The Mortuary Assistant places you in a night‑shift apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary, where you apply mortuary‑science training to real embalming work. As the evening deepens, unsettling occurrences begin to surface, forcing you to balance routine duties with supernatural threats.
The game blends procedural mortuary tasks with investigative adventure, letting you perform occult rituals, gather clues about Rebecca Owens, and attempt to banish demonic forces.
01 / THE GUIDE
Embalming Tasks
Embaling duties form the core loop, requiring you to follow the mortician’s instructions for each body that arrives during the night shift.
While you manage tools and chemicals, the narrative reminds you that each successful embalming brings you closer to confronting the hidden demonic presence.
- Take note of each embalming step to spot visual cues.
- Compare tool arrangements between sessions for subtle changes.
02 / THE GUIDE
Occult Rituals
When supernatural activity is detected, you are prompted to engage in occult rituals designed to reveal the identity of demonic entities.
These rituals are integrated into the night’s workflow, allowing you to alternate between practical mortuary work and the necessary exorcism steps.
- Record the symbols shown during rituals.
- Notice the timing of ritual prompts relative to previous tasks.
03 / THE GUIDE
Narrative and Clues
Story fragments appear as documents, recordings, and environmental details that gradually reveal Rebecca Owens’s tragic past and River Fields’ hidden secret.
Collecting each clue contributes to a larger puzzle, where every demon you banish adds context to the overarching mystery.
- Write down the location of each clue you encounter.
- Cross‑reference clues with the story of Rebecca Owens for deeper context.

Replay Uniqueness
A ground‑breaking system randomizes certain elements, ensuring that each playthrough presents new configurations of bodies, rituals, and demon encounters.
Because each banished demon represents a piece of the story, multiple runs are needed to assemble the full narrative picture.
- Start a fresh run after a demon banishment to observe new details.
- Track the order of demon appearances across multiple sessions.
