About the Game
Having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, you have taken on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Over the past several months you have logged many hours aiding the Mortician in daily tasks along with learning the ins and outs of the embalming process as well as how to properly handle and care for the deceased.
Late one night, you are called into work to handle some embalmings. Death doesn’t keep day time hours. But there is something different about these bodies because there is something different about you. The phone rings with the Mortician on the other end. The rumors are true, and you can not leave.
- Perform embalming tasks while keeping demonic forces at bay
- Practice occult rituals to identify demonic entities
- Piece together clues to banish the demon and save your soul
- Uncover the gripping history of Rebecca Owens, the haunting past of River Fields, and a sinister secret that lies just beneath the surface…
- Ground breaking system makes every playthrough unique, guaranteeing you will never feel completely safe.
- A story that unfolds through multiple playthroughs. Each demon you banish is just a piece of the puzzle
- 10+ hours of content with more to find for inquisitive eyes
Perform embalmings, handle the various jobs around the mortuary, and exorcise demonic forces. All in a day’s work.

Thanks for keeping your game updated, and as always, we appreciate your support!
- Fixed an issue with one of the bodies (blond woman with short hair) that would prevent the player from recording an identifying mark causing a soft lock in progress.
Sorry it took so long to address this issue! I'm still one guy working on about 6 different things. I still want to give love and support to MA but I need to balance that time. Thank you everyone for your continued support of the game and my work!

The Mortuary Assistant: Definitive Edition Possesses Steam TODAY
The Mortuary Assistant Definitive Edition launches today with more haunt events, new bodies to embalm, embalming only mode, bug fixes, performance improvements, and more. It has been two long years to the day since I first launched The Mortuary Assistant and it has been one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life. I have every single one of you to thank for that.
The Definitive Edition is less about adding gobs of new content (though there is new content) and more about making sure my most loved project is in a state that I can be proud of as I turn my focus on to my next project Paranormal Activity. I have plenty of plans to return to River Fields, don't you worry, but it's time to give this version a proper sendoff on to console with one more update for everyone! I hope you enjoy the Definitive Edition!

Note From the Dev:
Thank you everyone for continuing to support and play The Mortuary Assistant! As I’ve stated in other posts, this update will be the last major update for the foreseeable future. That doesn’t mean there won't be any updates but I have been supporting MA exclusively for almost a year now and it is time for me to focus on new projects and content. Keep an eye out for random things like new bodies, haunts, etc. but the updates will slow dramatically from here. Thank you all again so much for being here to enjoy The Mortuary Assistant!

Patch Notes
Miscellaneous:
- Added remaining language localization: Spanish (LATAM), Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Turkish
- Improved text displays for localization
- Changed intro and ending sequences to respect graphics settings in options. This will hopefully address various player issues with crashing during the intro as well as poor performance during the ending scenes.
- Added a timeout for key binding if no button is pressed after 5 seconds. This addresses a soft lock issue.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed controls menu to display localized text
- Fixed outstanding bugs with various haunting events
- Fixed an issue where you could drop an important item in the game during a demonic hallucination and lose it causing the player to need to restart (ex. Dropping the fully mixed cleaning fluid during an event and leaving it there will cause it to relocate to the mortuary after the event is complete)
And as always, please post any issues you come across or feedback you may have in the The Mortuary Assistant Bugs and Feedback Thread or on the relevant channels on the DREADXP Discord.
Patch Notes
Miscellaneous:
- Added Brazilian Portuguese language support
- Fixed an issue where you could tell the possessed body by the location of the embalming report
- Fixed an issue with the credits when using a ultra wide screen monitor

Patch Notes
Miscellaneous:
- French localization has been implemented.
- The game will now attempt to automatically detect your system language on the first run. If your language is not found, it will default to English.
- Language can be changed at any time in the main menu (upper right)
- Lots of necessary code work to support additional languages as they come in.
- A UI display of the clipboard can now be toggled by pressing when on the embalming checklist. (there is no UI display for inspection as it isn’t really necessary)
- Look sensitivity now has a max value of 1 changed from a previous max of 0.25
- Options changes now save when pressing escape to un-pause in addition to closing the options menu.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where initial button prompts were not displaying correctly on Steam Deck. (Hopefully this will get the game to full Steam Deck approval)
- Fixed an issue where some subtitles were not displayed.
- Fixed an event that was causing players to be stuck in the cold storage hall when the body contorted.
- Adjusted the gurney to turn a bit faster when using a controller
