This game is terrifying but I always laugh when Rebecca folds Mr Delver like a used wet wipe and throws him with the force, it's like the scene in Layers of fear with the kid running into the wall and floats backwards in slow mo. I'm not sure if it's ment to be funny but it's a nice laugh after a long spook and terror filled playthrough

About the first 'failed' ending where you mention the laughing etc, if you fail by burning the wrong one immediately before any notepad changes happen you get a different ending where Rebecca asks whats happening and Raymond looks at her sadly and closes the door. No laughter or weird voice just him knowing whats about to happen.

I watched Harry play the demo on his other channel and I was so freaked out! It kind of amuses me how convinced I was something bad would happen to me, even tho I was merely watching someone else play a game, in which the only person in "danger" is a fictional character. So many degrees of separation from myself and even reality, and yet I still felt like I was the one being watched 😂
I do believe that the Closure ending is where the story ends as Rebecca finds peace with her past and her father, meaning that the demons have nothing to torment her with and their hold is broken. Meanwhile, the reason why Mr. Delver is still held on by the demons is that he has a great deal of things that haunts him and as why he couldn't find any answers to what could stop it is that he just can't stop it on himself due to the weight that he carries, he can't find closure which would sever the hold. Of course the game doesn't end with the closure ending for the sake of gameplay as the player wouldn't want to redo the whole intro, etc every time they achieve the ending. so the game just carries on, but it's more of a personal interpretation on my part.
I love the subtle creepiness in this game, whereas most modern horror games are filled with jump scares and mostly action+thrill. Mortuary Assistant arrives with different approaches: The unawareness of horror from ghost apparition, the experiment you can try to do things, and varieties of the ghost haunting in the same place. This game is crazy good. Hoping the developer adds another storyline where the protagonist had to do a case in an unorthodox way.
Rebecca's voice actor is the secret MVP of this game. As a first-time (well, second-time) viewer, my only real complaint is that you didn't let Rebecca literally speak for herself more often. Especially during the Closure ending, her performance genuinely moved me to tears. Great video though, especially for people who are too squeamish to uncover this all for themselves.

It's rare for short indie horror games have a good voice acting or voice acting at all. The voice acting in this game did a lot for the story which is where I think the game shines
Still trying to figure out how did Mr Delver travel the world despite being 'chosen'. Did he wake up in his bed at night to be taunted by demons or was it only inside that morgue? If the latter why not simply burn the place down? Questions, questions.
@lynnthomas8457

My thought (entirely unproved) was that he was in danger around any bodies, including those buried. Since you can't dodge the dead anywhere there is civilization, working at the morgue gives him a degree of control and a known factor.

maybe burning it wouldn't solve the problem, the demons would still be there, they'd just follow raymond since they're 'bound' to him. so he can travel to other places, he just can't run forever

The biggest gripe I have with this game is how f*cking stupid all the demons are, especially the one possessing Valary. Like it couldn't keep up a human act for 5 seconds and get out of the coffin?

I'm wondering, if Raimond recorded this cassette saying "I'm a danger to anyone I may encounter and if I disappear it's not me anymore", and in his journal he states that he won't get any more assistants, does that mean that he's hiding the fact that he's already been 100% possessed, and now he's trying only to get another "souls" to be possessed with him, instead of trying to free everyone? To lure them into the mortuary?

No, the reason it's no is because in one of the bad endings he gets folded. Everything he says before that showed he is definitely human.
I’ve worked both in a morgue and at a funeral home and I can confirm that nothing like this ever occurred. Edit: We don’t embalm bodies wearing underwear, you’re completely nude, the body is way to fleshy colored to be dead (Caucasian bodies turn white soon after death as your blood settles, we use makeup to help bring back skin color). Most of the bodies I’ve prepared eyes and mouth were open when I started working on them.

Yeah you could probably guess why they aren't nude. KZreadrs playing their game gives huge exposure, basically free advertising. And the discoloration is to probably make it not "too real". Like when people get shot in the head in movies and don't go instantly limp so it doesn't disturbed people. Or I could be completely wrong. Just my assumption

"Dead body expert" its just a game. Common sense (if you have any) can tell you why they didn't allow the bodies to be nude. As for the skin color stuff & their eyes & mouths being closed, you think that even matters? Pretty sure people would be more concerned about beating the game & making it thru the jumpscares.

My take is that Mr. Delver was dating/married to Valerie in the 70's and he's been keeping her alive since then to find a way to save her/himself. Maria was someone he tried to maybe date and then left for her own good. There's a lot of evidence pointing to 1970 and Vallerie as she's in all of the major hallucinations that aren't related to Rebecca's traumatic past. There's the basement hatch one where you discover the code 197044 to the keysafe, before the hallucination ends you see a hallucination of Mr. Delver drinking from the wrist of a blonde, thin woman. This hallucination also starts with a big stone hand "bleeding". Or there's another one of Vallerie hanging by a leg and bleeding from her wrist into a bucket with " _ _ _ _ 44" carved into the rock wall. This combined with the "1970" on the polaroid that Vallerie points in the bathroom to also gives the code. I feel like finding her in the basement was so anticlimactic after all of those hallucinations and the "the house of death blabla the number shall be 6" (so far 5 assistants have died by posession under Mr. Delver) that there has to be more to it. Great video though! Such a shame the state of youtube these days :/
This game is truly terrifying on its own. The hopelessness aspect of it is especially apparent to the second protagonist and us the audience seeing through her eyes.
One of your best videos, shame it got taken down
The best part about this being reuploaded is that the new intro protects me from the INSTANT jumpscare that used to be at the start. Now clicking to rewatch this video is less scary.
Oh, KZread...thanks for playing and discussing these games. I can watch horror, but I cannot play or engage in it. i need an extra layer of separation, or else i am just paralyzed with fear. I like to enjoy the thrills, scares, lore, and stories through people like you. So thanks for putting in so much work to allow cowards like me to enjoy games like this!

It's because if WE'RE playing a horror game, WE'RE the ones in the horror setting, and WE'RE the protagonist of said horror game getting mentally fucked, and not some other character in a movie. Role-playing is amazing, but role-playing horror just makes everything not fun for me, like movies do. That's why Resident Evil 7 was impossible for me, on top of role-playing the MC, it's also in 1st person! Which is, quite possibly, the worst thing that could happen to scaredy cats like us 😅!
I said this before on the previous video and i Will Say It again: in my opinion this game didn't told us Reymond story 100% and left some dark spots on purpose

As someone who likes to know the story and some lore before playing a game, good job. I've started actively looking for some of the games you've covered because of you. Thank you for the recommendations.
hands down, one of the best videos you've put together, YT have issues and need to get a grip.
I saw at the start that this video got flagged and you giving thanks to everyone who is watching this reupload. Personally, I had watched your Resident Evil videos and loved each one. Not only did I subscribe, but now I get to enjoy all the other videos you've done, including watching these for the first time. Hope everything has been going well since then (and hope the youtube system hasn't been too unfavorable since too).
I’ll of course rewatch! Thank you for continuing to upload!
Going to rewatch this because it's that good of a video. The story is balanced; simple yet complex with the amount of background(or potential thereof)to each character, which leaves plenty of space for other installations. I can see an origins game featuring Mr. Delver, where we would travel back to when he had yet to develope his methods of banishing the demons. Discovering the methods used in Rebecca's time, and the struggle to do so would make for a great game.
I’ll rewatch it for you you deserve credit for how much thought you put into these explained videos
Rewatching this for the second or third time since you had to re-upload it! Your videos are always ridiculously interesting so I’ve enjoyed it every time!

Honestly, as someone who's dealt with mental health problems and addiction, I think it's ridiculous that KZread flagged you for talking about a story with an unfortunately grounded backstory. People should be allowed to talk about these darker subjects in videos, fictional or otherwise, because it brings awareness to the very really subject matter involved. Anyway, great video.
