As a Proctologist you will poop yourself, jk. Since I was a kid I have experienced A LOT of paranormal activities even now being 37yrs old I’m desensitized to these things. The game has a great creepy atmosphere to it and even gave me good chills a few times. I hope they make another one or maybe a game where you play as a cemetery caretaker.
I would like to preface this review by saying that, deep down, at its core, this is actually a surprisingly cozy little game. Embalming fluid preparation. Careful documentation. The gentle, methodical rhythm of prepping a body for burial. Genuinely relaxing stuff. Very soothing. Very ASMR. If only the demons would let me enjoy it. Every single time I settled into the quiet, meditative groove of my job, some horrifying entity would show up at the edge of the room politely but firmly requesting that I abandon the autopsy table immediately, please, right now, thank you, and honestly the sheer audacity of asking me to leave a task half finished is possibly the scariest part of this entire experience. I have never had my professional work ethic personally attacked by a demon before. Deeply rude. If I have one complaint, it's that some of the jump scares lean a little heavy handed compared to the quieter, creepier moments, which honestly do more heavy lifting on their own.
