The Mortuary Assistant is far and above an excellent game, considering it was made by one person. The game's randomized jump scares are really fun, considering how it plays with the player the further along the night goes. That being said, it's short. The game's narrative relying on multiple "shifts" that change up based on some clues you can find that progress the main character's story. It's just a really short experience, and if you get repeat endings it shows how little content, even though it's really good content, the game actually offers. I don't know if they plan to update it with more variant endings, demon mechanics or if this is just what you get on the tin, but for what it's worth, I recommend it if you're looking to have a spooky time and can spend the cash.

Could have benifited from a more direct anthology narrative (eg: trick r' treat, tales from the crypt), but as a fan of the source material, it stays on brand and is still a fun ride. I got a kick out of the interpretations of each of the stories, visually brought to life pretty authentically, but my biggest beef is the ending with the insinuation that a sequel is on the way. It's all fair and good to follow this up, but the ending's last few mins leave a bitter sweet taste in my mouth, in spite of how entertaining the rest of the movie was. If you go in expecting anything other than an homage that captures the spooky feeling of those stories as they happen, then maybe wait.
