About the Game

Step into the role of a pathologist in a remote village where every autopsy could be your last. Using authentic medical tools—scalpels, X-rays, and magnifiers—examine corpses to uncover disturbing secrets within an aging mansion filled with occult mysteries.

Cremation or Morgue?

Make the final decision - cremate the body or preserve it in the Morgue. Every choice impacts the story: autopsy results alter events and unlock unique endings. Choose wisely - the dead don't forgive mistakes.

Examine the Bodies

Conduct examinations with surgical precision. Use scalpels, X-rays, magnifiers and other tools to uncover death's secrets. Each incision brings you closer to the truth - but some truths are better left unknown.

Secrets of the Cursed House

Explore the decaying mansion room by room. Solve puzzles, decipher occult symbols and trigger hidden events. The house reacts to your presence - doors lock, and something watches from the shadows.

Monitor Your Sanity

Manage hunger, fatigue and mental state. Skip meals to work longer, but risk waking nightmares. Sleep to recover - if you dare close your eyes.

Uncover the Truth

Interrogate obscure NPCs, collect evidence and study case files. The deeper you dig, the more insane the conclusion becomes.
