The scariest part of all of this is that she's not getting paid for any of it! She's an intern! If I had to suffer against my worst memories every night I better be getting paid at least minimum wage!
The ghosts may be fucking her over but not as hard as capitalism
the boomer horror
like in fnaf
minimum wage?? babe u need to think more for yourself
The greatest horror is capitalism.
"She turns around and see theses stuff of nightmare"
Demon : *T-posing*
Dominance: ASSERTED
Absolutely ridiculous that they flag this for you saying a very real and serious disease that many people who are watching this might deal with, but these bodies breaking themselves and snapping in two totally fine, amazing video
What did he talk about that got the vid taken down? It was removed before I could watch it
Nevermind he didn't remove the content just blooped it
Yeah UA-cam is going wild now with Mortuary Assistant, CoreyxKenshin also had this problem with UA-cam and this game.
UA-cam in nutshell. Hypocrisy and double standard central.
yea youtube is racist & doesn’t have their stuff together like at all!
Oh, thank goodness! Do you have an idea how creepy it was to be halfway through this video when I suddenly got an error and then it VANISHED from UA-cam?? I had thought I'd picked a haunted video. 😂
That’s so messed up lol
oh man, that must've been freaky!
Actually You did and we’re outside. Come join us
Nah, the video is up. But you aren't Rampala. Can you do everyone a favor? And please wake up?
Please. Wake. Up.
I'm so glad Cory called UA-cam out because it's so ridiculous how they treat everyone that does horror-related content. There's even one guy I watch cover internet mysteries and he stopped the series altogether because UA-cam continously age-restricted it.
he called out youtube for being racist, not how they treat everybody. they weren’t treating everyone, who does horror content, they same.
@@theescoob8684 He called them out for not treating everyone the same and showing favoritism and mentioned that race could be the cause so don't twist his words.
@@CosmoQueen2900 not twisting, maybe making something more out of it. he literally said “it’s one of the other, or maybe a combination of the both”
@@theescoob8684 he still didnt call them out for being racist, but said it could be one of the reasons why he felt like he was being singled out. he even mentioned how he couldnt fully back the idea of racism being evident because he couldnt really show any irrefutable proof of it existing. if he didnt say anything, its possible smaller creators and others like cory would be the only ones getting age restricted for certain clips of the game while creators like mark wouldnt be
@@theescoob8684 He said that racism could play a part, as well as favoritism. It wouldn't shock me because I see a lot of smaller channels getting age restricted. I'm someone that watches a lot of true crime and horror on UA-cam. They constantly have to post about how UA-cam has age restricted them.
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.
yeah, seems you're partially possessed in that ending much like raymond, and I guess he decides to cut his losses so that you can't suddenly demon out and kill him
Oh, I never knew that!
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
The demons endless stream of swear words is also funny. I mean how long have they been alive? You'd think their taunts would be more scathing and eloquent
Facts
I think part of the game is definitely tongue-in-cheek. The dev clearly has a lot of love for Christian "possession" media and all of its tropes, both the good and the corny.
@@Hearty1100
Maybe this demon is an intern itself
@@steelbear2063why put more effort in if I’m not even being payed above minimum wage for this possession?
I can never state enough how grateful I am for videos like this. I like spooky content but I'm also 1) a huge chicken, and 2) terrible at video games, so I can never play games like this myself. I noped out of Spooky's Jumpscare mansion because I was scared of it after 30 minutes and also so so bad at it.
No shame in chicken mode it's also my lifestyle. I don't watch scary movies or play scary games. I just watch lore or gameplay, so I'm instead cheering other ppl on the journey. Because honestly I'm just not built for it. The spooky stuff sticks in my head too much.
I'm in the same boat, friend 😂
I feel you. Even videos like these test my limits sometimes
This is probably one of the scariest horror games I've played in a long time. Even the short demo scared the shit outta me a few years back.
Seriously, I usually watch and listen while doing something else but this one I just had to listen considering every time I looked up, I'd see some terrifying image 😅
By short deme did you mean PT? lol that demo gave me massive trauma as a kid
@@skivery380 They mean the demo for the game lol
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.
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.
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.
I think that he used those bodies and burned them to get rid of demon for some time
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
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.
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?
It’s probably like trying to act normal when you’re high or drunk
@@XxSTACKxX how so?
Considering it's been stuck for several years, I doubt it can even fake it at this point
She reminded me a lot of evil dead the og, so seeing her flip like that was solid. Like the demon was very impatient with Rebecca and having it lash out like that made sense also it could probably see she's possessed so
@chazz30000 try using your brain & think about it then you'll actually understand "how so"
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
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 :/
i love how terrifying this game is
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.
Tbh I think the dev did that bcs UA-cam strict policy and to not force the people to edit all the game bcs omg nudity 💀
Yeah you could probably guess why they aren't nude. UA-camrs 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
Omg.....why??! You work in an actual funeral home?? Why would you watch this video at all????? Are you planning early retirement? Got a psych PPO plan you wanna use??! Why??!
I wanted to be a mortician when I was a teenager. Almost had an internship
"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.
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
rewatched it, liked it, and now commenting for the engagement! appreciate all the hard work you do
We love commenting to increase engagement! 😆
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.
Ah yes, grandma doesn't want her working at THAT mortuary. She's heard things about THAT mortuary.
Only in an indie game.
I don't get what u saying my friend? Can u explain?
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
The dev has apparently said that he wants to make additional content for the game, including more possible bodies and additional in-game lore. I'm thinking Raymond Delver will be a focus, since Rebecca's story is more-or-less complete.
@@Cool_Calm_Cam i Hope so. This man still has some dark spots: how did he survive if those things started happening long before he started the mortuary? Who Is Maria? Is She linked to Valerie?
Oh, UA-cam...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!
I'm the exact same! Can't play but deeply love it 😂
s a m e
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 can only watch peope play horror. Dead Space for instance. I've tried to play it time and time again. It was my dad's favourite game and at the age of 66 he still plays it. I just watch behind a pillow. The way the necropmorphs move towards you is just unsettling. I've also watched my boyfriend play PT and Outlast 2. I could never.
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.
i've noticed a lot of people think the dark figure on the first night is the demon and not mr. delver, (i thought so too at first till i watched someone else play) so i'm really glad you pointed it out!
David's reaction to witnessing the dead body move was so realistic it was funny
Thank you for making these videos, I've just been listening to them while playing games or working and you've done a great job at portraying the story in a way that I can imagine the whole thing
Harry knows we’re gonna rewatch this. Give me that lore! 👏🏽
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.
Found your channel with this vid. Working my way through them all. So great!
I like the concept of the lesser spirits, unique entities that work differently but have the same goal of serving their higher power.
hands down, one of the best videos you've put together, YT have issues and need to get a grip.
I love the slight sarcasm in the beginning when you explained the re-upload 🤣
I’ll rewatch it for you you deserve credit for how much thought you put into these explained videos
the mimic is one of the best i ever seen, the way he shows up it's always so bizarre and it freaks me out so much
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!
sorry for what happened with the last upload... love this video! Thank you very much for putting in all this work
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!
Great video! Thank you for all the effort it took to make this! I appreciate the structure of the video and the concise explanation of the story!
Of course I'm re-watching. As soon as you gave the update about it being age restricted, I knew I was gonna re-watch as soon as it came up agian. Love your videos.
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.
You talking about Raymond getting folded up like a secret note in class always throws me off😭
Thanks for these. I think horror games have amazing lore but I can't finish one without getting a heart attack XD I think you're becoming one of my favorites in the *insert game/franchise here* lore UA-camrs
literally same, my heartbeat gets so fast. i get scared even in games that aren’t horror games idk why 😭🤣 i have to remind myself it’s not real and if I die I can just restart lmao i’m such a little girl about video games sumtimes
I saw your community post about your trouble with youtube so watching this again. That and I really love how you explain the story.
Love your narration and editing!
Thank you for doing this video!! I can’t play the game because of my epilepsy, but I’ve been very curious about the game! I’m glad to get the full story 💜
Thank you mate for explaining the story! Looking forward to if you could make an updated version with the new ending.
Thank you for reuploading this. I’m happy to watch it
I’m happy you reuploaded since these videos of you talking help me sleep at night
Rewatching this incredible video since youtube can't seem to get it together. Glad to see it's back up!
Thank you for this!! I watched I dont know how many playthroughs and I was still confused as of the storyline. Also, I totally agree. The Mimic is the WORST of the spirits. After a while you become acostumed to the jumpscares, but I would never get accustomed to the Mimic ones.
I honestly fall asleep to your videos, on a continuous loop so much so the moment UA-cam stops playing a video I wake up to restart
Love that you had to re upload this and still got almost 1 mil in views
Have to rewatch because this such a good game and you explain the story in a way anyone can understand even if they don't know much about the game.
I kid you not, only an hour ago I was just thinking to myself “I should rewatch this video”.
Should be thanking you for reuploading such a banger. Love ya, Haz
This video was insanely well done! Good job
Thank you for the re upload, much appreciation
I already rewatched this video multiple times before the reupload, I'm already going to rewatch this.
Your vids are always entertaining so of course imma rewatch it
Thanks for the Re Up Man apparently there is a bit of trouble with UA-cam and The Mortuary assistant, Coryxkenshin and other youtubers got their video age restricted or had their video deemed not eligible for ads.
Still love the awesome content and i can't wait to see the next one.
You're awesome bro most of the time I see your videos during work or on my free time my favorite video is the 3 outlast video 😎👍 thank you for the videos
Re-watched it, keep it up brother, love your work. A fellow horror gamer
The demonology breakdown is pretty cool but creepy
I think the haunts are randomized, because I got both the mental hospital and the apartment events on my first shift.
I really wanted to see this video but then it vanished. Im glad you ve reuploaded
When this game became more popular, I was searching for your reaction and explanation, thank you.
This is probably one of the best videos i've watched about the game!
Normally don't watch the whole video again when it's a re-upload, but here I will make an exception.
It's a great video and the age restriction was BS.
Another Great explanation, keep them coming ❤️
Watching again! Doing great work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a great video! I watched a friend play through the first part if this game and just couldn’t get into it. I don’t know if I’m desensitized or what, but I just didn’t find it scary and thought the gameplay was boring. But the way you explained the story sent chills down my spine! 😨
I often watch these while doing something else so it's nice to have it recommended to me again considering I forgot nearly all of the story 😅
Rewatching in support of one of my all time favorite youtubers! 🙌🙌
Love your channel so I had to rewatch when the vid got taken down
I’ve never thought of how much sense it makes for a mortuary to be haunted
Happy to rewatch mate, quality video
idk why i assumed that raymond fell in love with one of the women, then she died and he tried resurrecting her but ended up calling out a demon instead as his origin story.
I love this game! I've completed all the achievements so outside of the random startle it's not really scary to me anymore - which is expected of course, but I think there's so much potential to keep adding things to make it creepy. I hope the developer continues to update.
Funny when the robots are more worried than the people controlling them.
This game was very well done. I absolutely enjoyed watching it (I couldn't play it on my own). And your video covers it very well.
You're one of the content creators I just put on. Like, I pay attention the first time... Then I just keep your voice around. You get watch time, I don't feel as alone. Everybody gets something.
felt
I have a couple creators I do this with, Harry's voice and even tone make for easy listening and I figure he gets a lot of additional views
I might have missed it, but did you mention that in the demo, you play as Valerie? I thought it was quite neat : D
Love this game!
Doom taught me that a silent man with a gun is all it takes to stop pure evil.
If Doomguy was here this game would have been 10 minutes long
@@martinhristov3670 with 9 minutes grace period. For the demon, that is
Freaking bummer. Loved initial video. Some of us don’t have a means to play these games so it’s really awesome to experience them through UA-camrs like this!
I'm still a little confused by how Raymond was sacrificing people, but everything else was explained amazingly
He was using them to work the night shift and the demon would end up possessing them instead of him. He’d use them as sacrifices
@@GamingHarryYT ahh I see. Okay! Thank you
@@GamingHarryYT why cant he just... not work the night shifts?
Don't care if it's a re-upload, it's a great video that you put a lot of work into. Cheers mate
Thanks for making this video. I watched a Let's Play (I'm too scared to play this on my own😅) and didn't understand everything right away. Your video helped me alot and I think it's a very cool, scary and unique horror game.
Regards from Germany :)
Harry out here doin the lord's work. Thank you, my dude.
Re-watched it dont worry man we love ur content
I find the mimic kind of cute. He just looks like a little guy to me. But then again I have a crush on Pinhead, so I'm probably not the best one to ask about these sorts of things
Watching again. You deserve the views!
I rewatched bc I love this game and your channel
you know it's a good video when it gets re-uploaded
imagine living in a dystopian future where you can't say suicide
Appreciate your videos. Rewatching!
The actors really killed it for this game (pun intended)
Watching again bc I love your videos.
