Our take
A mortuary science graduate's night shift turns supernatural in this indie-horror-game adaptation. Critics note detailed embalming procedures, demonic imagery and a scare-starved but unsettling tone. Body-horror-adjacent visuals, jump scares and moderate profanity appear rather than extreme gore.
Uplifting themes
Persistence and facing fear appear, though horror overwhelms them Rebecca shows professionalism under pressure in a grim setting Mortuary science details may interest older teens studying healthcare fields
