In The Mortuary Assistant, players take control of a character who has recently become an apprentice at River Fields Mortuary. This is certainly no ordinary job, though, and fans will quickly find themselves in some truly unsettling situations. As players work through these situations, they may begin to wonder how close they are to reaching the game's end, and this guide is here to shine some light on this matter by providing details on the length of The Mortuary Assistant.
The Mortuary Assistant: How Long to Beat
In general, players should expect their first playthroughs of The Mortuary Assistant to last around 1.5 hours. Indeed, while that playtime will fluctuate slightly based on the player, it is safe to say that the game is a fairly short experience overall. That said, many fans of indie horror games will want to go beyond a single completion, as the title features multiple endings that incentivize players to work more than one shift.
More specifically, The Mortuary Assistant has five endings, each of which is earned by fulfilling different requirements. This means that players can extend their time with the game considerably if they work to see everything that it has to offer. While that is not something that every psychological horror fan will be interested doing, those players that find themselves captivated by River Fields Mortuary and its mysteries will be happy to have the opportunity to prolong the experience.
Furthermore, the developer has stated that there will be post-launch support for The Mortuary Assistant, which is sure to be exciting to fans of mystery games that are not satiated after seeing the title's multiple endings. Among the post-launch plans is an "Embalming Only" mode, though it is indicated that it will take some time to implement it. There is to be a "Spooks Only" mode as well, which will allow players to simply embalm cadavers and banish demons without having to deal with any story events.
It is also said that The Mortuary Assistant will be ported to consoles in the future, though the specific platforms and release dates have not been confirmed at the time of writing. Presumably, those future console ports will have achievements, and PC players that really fall in love with the game may want to earn those on another platform of their choosing. The title is to undergo localization as well, which will allow new groups of players to become apprentices at River Fields Mortuary for the first time.
The Mortuary Assistant is available on PC.
