How it feels

a tense, atmospheric first-person horror in which you perform meticulous embalming tasks while dread builds from demonic presences and sinister discoveries

What players say

Players call it a cozy embalming simulator that becomes genuinely unsettling once the demonic activity starts. The scares are randomized each playthrough, but some find the routine repetitive and note that nothing can actually hurt you.
