The first time I played this I found many negative reviews, but now I see more positive reviews. The truth is that this cheap game is worth playing as long as you're not such a perfectionist since, indeed, there are some mistakes. I liked some sound effects and music, others I didn't. The Art is good in general, at least I liked the images, you could even use them as wallpapers/artworks.
Sometimes the Russian language is mixed with English randomly. The translation is NOT entirely correct, however the stories are understandable. They're short but entertaining. I liked them all except the last one.

It has 4 interesting and different stories.
Stories about parallel worlds, money and power, virtual world + approach with AI and about failure, depression and disappointment (honestly, I'm glad "J" is dead).

I can't say much about the last story where the previous 4 (or elements of them) are mentioned but they're NOT related at all. There are some things that are NOT fully explained and that's why it makes no sense to me. I didn't like it.

In all these short stories there's a cause with its due consequence, so I'd say in a way they leave you with a moral.

85/100

The Mortuary Assistant.

When I play this game I can't help but remember a series of books I read years ago. "I Am Not a Serial Killer", by Dan Wells. I'll leave some quotes here:
“Embalming was like... I don't know how to describe it. It was like playing with a giant doll, dressing it and bathing it and opening it up to see what was inside.”

"Is a Demon your best friend?" - Mills said.
"Look who suddenly got judgmental." - John said.

On the other hand, I've always thought that it'd be interesting to work in a mortuary or funeral home. And this game gives you that little experience in a simpler way of what it'd be like to have a job like that. Furthermore, you have to discover which body is possessed by the demon and get rid of it, but not before finding out its name. Sounds fun, right?

At first it was a little difficult for me to play. I tried to use control but couldn't. When I wanted to change the button configuration, something happened and I simply couldn't. On the other hand, I didn't like the default keys on keyboard so I changed them to my liking and was able to play properly. When you know exactly what to do and how to proceed, that makes everything easier, although the game itself is quite simple.

Although the dynamic is the same on each shift and THIS for many players would be repetitive, for me it's not like that. After 20 hours and having gotten all the endings multiple times, the game still surprises me with new scares and manifestations. You always discover something new. I like this very much. There really is a great variety of manifestations. You can see the dedication of the developer here. The game is so well designed that it makes you feel part of it. I wonder if it could be compared to those "Enigma Rooms". If there was one with a Morgue/Mortuary theme, I'm in!

It's a different, fascinating and immersive experience. You'll feel watched all the time, and when you let your guard down, BOOM, there's "he" or "she" or.. Corpses walking strangely in the Hallway or corpses levitating while on the "analysis table" or arms pointing places.

This game varies mainly in certain events related to the past of our protagonist Rebecca, and the visions that she sees, these being a way of the demon to scare you, break you and make you give up and forget your main purpose: find out its name, the body in the mortuary that is possessed and burn it.

I love the fact that the bodies smile in a macabre way sometimes, these are almost always the possessed ones, however, it can also be a deception. Pay attention and use the ashes wisely.
Note: if you play a little with eyelids and mouth the body will talk to you and say "Do the dead comfort you?"

Most of the "scares" are demonic presences, and they're so subtle, that when you realize them it's normal to be a little surprised. Even when they're silent.

This game teaches you that the devil is in the details. You turn around to take the Formaldehyde or Methanol, and suddenly the corpse in front of you quickly moves some limb or levitates in the air.

The game in general is very good, however, sometimes there are small bugs. In any case, just go back to the Main Menu and continue.
Sometimes when interacting with Rebecca's coffin, there's no response.
When the 'woman' who attacks Rebecca approaches down the hallway, sometimes the screen goes black and you have to restart.
This one is very rare, but sometimes the Cremation Oven doesn't work when the corpse is ready. You can also restart and it'll work again.
I don't know if this one should be considered a bug, but I've noticed that sometimes when I use a piece of paper near the desk, no matter how hard I search, no sigil ever appears, so I try to avoid that place when looking for sigils.

The voices are good, especially Raymond Delver and his.. Possessed mother.

This game was a gift from a good friend. I appreciate it, it's one of my favorites now. I highly recommend it, and it's even better if you increase the frequency of "Hauntsystem Aggressiveness". I love it! (not recommended if you have heart problems). But be careful. After a few games (shifts) in a roll, the time seems to be reduced and not enough, so you lose faster before embalming the third corpse, or so it has happened to me. Somehow ignoring certain events like phone calls and dark shadows calling you prevent you from 'unfocusing' on your mission, so.. Avoid them.

This game will definitely be in my "💙" collection.
Ending 5 and Ending 6 are my favorites so far.


Conclusion 1: The game is great and the demons are trolls.
Conclusion 2: I'm ready to work in a Mortuary. Okay, just kidding.
PS: I'll wait patiently for Halloween and Christmas.

Ayudar o dejar morir. Ayudar o matar.
Depositar el poder en las manos erróneas afecta tu propio destino.
De esto se trata el juego, de tomar decisiones que al final te darán una nueva oportunidad, o bien, condena eterna.

El juego te deja con la sensación de que cada pequeña acción, y cada decisión que tomes, por más pequeña o insignificante que pueda parecer, puede cambiarlo todo.
Esto aplica también en la vida misma. Una sociedad egoísta y corrompida que es acechada constantemente por la oscuridad.

¿Por qué elegirías el infierno una vez que has comprendido que es tu elección?

Me gustó mucho este juego, lo jugué varias veces. Se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos. Una hermosa Obra de Arte. No es muy largo pero a la vez tiene una duración perfecta. No es un juego tedioso y el Arte en general es muy bueno; te hace sentir parte del juego y adentrarte en la historia.

I must say the game is better than the screenshots and reviews. Although, it only has one map and not too many weapons, it's quite entertaining. It's not a bad game. Considering its price, I think it offers just enough and something else to pass the time. If you don't like it, fine, you invest little for a game that has easy achievements and cards to make your badge.

In itself, it's repetitive; you kill and kill zombies, you move around the map (which is not too big), and at least in the first levels, the final boss is the same guy connected to 2 electricity generators. If you are one of those people who like action and move in places that aren't too big, you'd probably like to try this game. It has 12 levels, I won't lie, I only reached 'til level 5 or 6. You reach such a complex level that you'll think that it's impossible to reach level 12 (normal mode), and maybe you're right, but that's not an excuse for not achieving all the achievements.

I repeat, if you want a game with better graphics, more variation of maps, weapons and even characters, costumes and improvements, you'd better look for other titles, and most importantly, invest more money.

Debo decir que es mejor de lo que muestran las capturas y análisis. Si bien, sólo tiene un mapa y no demasiadas muchas armas, es bastante entretenido. No es un mal juego. Considerando su precio, creo que ofrece lo justo y algo más para pasar el rato. Si no te gusta, está bien, inviertes poco por un juego que tiene logros fáciles y cromos para que hagas tu insignia.

En sí, es repetitivo; matas y matas zombis, te mueves por todo el mapa (que no es demasiado grande), y al menos en los primeros niveles, el jefe final es el mismo tipo conectado a 2 generadores de electricidad. Cabe destacar que si eres de esas personas que les gusta la acción y moverse en lugares no muy grandes, probablemente te gustaría probar este juego. Tiene 12 niveles, no mentiré, me parece que llegué solo hasta el nivel 5 o 6. Llegas a un nivel tan complejo que pensarás que es imposible llegar al nivel 12 (eso en modo normal), y quizás tengas razón, pero eso no es excusa para no lograr conseguir todos los logros.

Repito, si quieres un juego con mejores gráficos, mayor variación de mapas, armas e incluso personajes, vestuarios y mejoras, será mejor que busques otros títulos, y lo más importante, que inviertas más dinero en ello.

If you want to play something for veterans, try this game; see, you can't practically defend yourself in the game, because once the enemy grabs you, you can't get your freedom, and you die... Can you imagine the frustration of the guys who played this game for several minutes, they got a bit far, and then, they died? It's funny to think about it, but also stressful, since you have to save the progress yourself, and if you haven't done it, well... The game is over. On the other hand, sometimes the game closes or goes black and white. This is quite annoying.

Dare to buy this game if you're patient and veteran enough. The idea is great, it's just they must fix their current mistakes.

Si quieres jugar algo para veteranos, intenta con este juego; verás, prácticamente no puedes defenderte a ti mismo dentro del juego, porque una vez que te cogen no puedes zafarte, y mueres… ¿Puedes imaginar la frustración de los chicos que jugaron este juego varios minutos, llegaron un tanto lejos, y después mueren? Es gracioso pensarlo, pero también estresante, ya que tienes que guardar tú mismo tu avance, y si no lo has hecho, pues… Vale… Se acabó el juego. Por otro lado, algunas veces el juego se cierra o se pone en blanco y negro. Esto es bastante molesto.

Atrévete a comprarlo si eres lo suficientemente paciente y veterano. La idea es genial, es sólo que deben de arreglar sus errores actuales.

The Cat Lady... Perhaps a boring game for many, but when you get into it, and you really understand the story, believe me, you can't stop playing it, and it intrigues you to know what fate and death have saved for Susan Ashworth, a solitary and depressive woman, whose only company in life are the cats, whom she calls while playing the piano to see them and feed them; the only beings in the world who seem to understand her and diminish her grief, even knowing that they don't speak, and they'll never answer her, at least, not in words. Susan is fully convinced that life doesn't make enough sense to her; is convinced that no one needs her, and no one will miss her the day she ceases to exist. After her suicide attempt, she has a new opportunity to live (..to live..), and she has an opportunity to do the right thing and eliminate people who, according to the old woman named "The Queen of Maggots", are Parasites, the scum itself, and that they have no right to continue living, 'cause of the damage and pain they cause in other people. Susan cannot refuse, and for this, she has been granted a gift, coveted and desired by many, too much for others, and utterly disastrous and meaningless for Susan: Immortality.

It's funny, the game is too realistic and accurate with its arguments... Maybe 'cause that's how I feel sometimes, and I found so many similarities of my life projected in the game... So, I had to finish it... I really wanted to know what was going to happen with the return of Susan to life, to the real life that Mitzi Hunt taught her to live, because despite the distrust (in part) Susan shows at first, and although she was a lonely woman, and therefore reserved, Mitzi showed her that in life there's too much more than we imagine, many reasons to go forward, many reasons to smile, and many things to live for, because it's really worth to try it.


Note:
As you expect, the end has its variations, this due to the decisions you've taken throughout the game.

The Cat Lady... Quizás un juego aburrido para muchos, pero cuando te adentras en él, y comprendes realmente la historia, créeme, no paras de jugarlo, y te intriga saber qué es lo que el destino y la muerte tienen guardado para Susan Ashworth, una mujer solitaria y depresiva, cuya única compañía en la vida son los gatos, a los cuales, ella llama al tocar el piano para verlos y alimentarlos; los únicos seres en el mundo que parecen comprender y disminuir su pesar, incluso sabiendo que no hablan, y que jamás le responderán, al menos, no con palabras. Susan está completamente convencida de que la vida no tiene el suficiente sentido para ella; está convencida de que nadie la necesita, y de que nadie la va a extrañar el día en que ella deje de existir. Tras su intento de suicidio, ella tiene una nueva oportunidad para vivir (..vivir..), y tiene una oportunidad para hacer lo correcto y eliminar a personas que, según la anciana apodada "la Reina de las Larvas", son Parásitos, la escoria misma, y que no tienen derecho a seguir viviendo, debido al daño y al dolor que causan en otras personas. Susan no puede negarse, y para ello, le ha sido concedido un regalo, codiciado y anhelado por muchos, demasiado para otros, y completamente nefasto y sin sentido para Susan: Inmortalidad.

Es gracioso, el juego es demasiado realista y preciso con sus argumentos... Quizás porque es así como me siento algunas veces, y encontré tantas similitudes de mi vida proyectadas en el juego… Tenía que terminarlo... Realmente quería saber lo que sucedía con el regreso de Susan a la vida, a la verdadera vida que Mitzi Hunt le enseñó a vivir, porque pese a la desconfianza (en parte) que Susan demuestra al principio, y pese a que era una mujer solitaria, y por ende cerrada y reservada, Mitzi le demostró que en la vida hay mucho más de lo que imaginamos, muchos motivos para seguir adelante, muchos motivos para sonreír, y muchas cosas por las cuales vivir, porque realmente vale la pena intentarlo.


Nota:
Como es de esperarse, el final tiene sus variaciones, esto debido a las decisiones que has tomado a lo largo del juego.

Want to learn to kill people easily?
Want to know the secrets of a killer?
Want to spend a great time, playing something really good, considering, you are not too sensitive?
Play Lucius, you'll enjoy the game, for sure.
