Autopsy Simulator

Autopsy Simulator is a grim experience. This simulation title lets you run wild in a morgue. Furthermore, there is an uncomfortable horror edge that keeps you on your toes. However, too much hand-holding and not enough freedom prevent it from truly excelling. If the upcoming "autopsy-only" mode allows more freedom, then this will excel. + Excellent graphics. + Sombre audio. + An interesting idea. + The "autopsy-only" mode has great potential. + I loved the acting. - Too much huffing. - Not enough freedom. - The hand-holding will drive you crazy.

  • The game provides educational insights into forensic pathology, making it informative for players.
  • The game is misleadingly titled as a 'simulator' when it is primarily a linear story-driven experience.
  • The protagonist's constant sighing and moaning can be annoying and detracts from immersion.
  • The ending feels abrupt and unsatisfying, leaving many plot points unresolved.

  • story

    745 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it lacking in depth and coherence. While some appreciated the psychological elements and character development, others criticized it for being overly linear, predictable, and poorly executed, particularly in its abrupt ending. Overall, players expressed a desire for a more substantial narrative or an option to focus solely on the autopsy mechanics without the intrusive storyline.

    • “The story is interesting and I am excited to see how this game progresses.”
    • “I really enjoyed the gameplay, and how the story added a psychological thriller aspect to the game.”
    • “The story is engaging and intriguing.”
    • “The story has barely any substance; this game would have been better if there was no story and only autopsies.”
    • “The bodies you get to work on are pretty much the only enjoyable part of the experience, but it gets constantly interrupted by the story bits which kills the game's flow.”
    • “I got this game expecting, as was advertised, a medically accurate autopsy simulator, but the gameplay is extremely bound to the mediocre story, leading to a very on-rails experience.”

  • gameplay

    155 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the autopsy mechanics and graphics but criticizing the overall execution. Common complaints include repetitive tasks, a lack of depth, and a narrative that feels restrictive, leading to a linear experience that detracts from the potential of a true simulation. While some players express hope for future updates to improve gameplay, others find it disappointing and not worth the price given its short length and numerous bugs.

    • “I am really enjoying the gameplay.”
    • “The mechanics for the autopsies and love for details is good and implemented nicely.”
    • “It's really good; not only are the mechanics super fun, but the game itself is really creative and interesting.”
    • “Game mechanics are very broken and doesn't always tell you where to find things.”
    • “The gameplay is disappointingly mundane.”
    • “I got this game expecting, as was advertised, a medically accurate autopsy simulator, but the gameplay is extremely bound to the mediocre story, leading to a very on-rails experience.”

  • graphics

    83 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    64% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their attention to detail and realism, particularly during autopsy scenes, with many reviewers noting the lifelike rendering of bodies and organs. However, some criticism arises regarding inconsistencies and minor graphical bugs, which detract from the overall experience. While the visuals are a standout feature, they are not enough to compensate for gameplay shortcomings and a lack of content.

    • “You fire up Autopsy Simulator and you're immediately struck by the visuals - the attention to detail in the rendering of the bodies and the organs, they're all depicted with a striking realism.”
    • “The attention to detail is incredible, with lifelike graphics and authentic medical tools making each autopsy feel real.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, especially for the autopsy, and the mechanics of it were above my expectations.”
    • “Tragically bad, besides the graphics and the factual parts of the autopsies, coming from an expert.”
    • “Sometimes it's really wonky, to be honest. The autopsies in themselves look good, but I am just not convinced about the rest - the blood on the knife and these small details look not as good as the rest of the game, and they don't change too much. It's really hard for me not to notice this, and somehow it drags down the graphics a lot.”
    • “The graphics and overall design of some of the details on bodies could be better; like the hair and pubic hair do not look like hair at all, and hands and feet could use more detail.”

  • atmosphere

    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    61% positive mentions, 31% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is a mixed bag, with many praising its eerie and visually stunning qualities that effectively capture a dark tone, while others criticize it for relying too heavily on repetitive music and lacking subtlety. Some players found the atmosphere immersive and engaging, enhancing the overall experience, while others felt it was undermined by plot inconsistencies and a rushed ending. Overall, the atmosphere is noted as a standout feature, though opinions vary on its execution and impact.

    • “It gives a pleasant creepy atmosphere while making you second guess your character at every turn...with an interesting twist.”
    • “The game is visually stunning, and the atmosphere is appropriately eerie, capturing the dark tone it aims for.”
    • “Great game, the story is interesting and I really loved the atmosphere.”
    • “This is killing the atmosphere and makes the game completely ridiculous.”
    • “The atmosphere itself seemed to lean too much on eerie music on repeat and the protagonist coming unglued rather than subtleties that would have done it more favors. Infrasound (the natural creepiness of mortuary labs and perceived silence) would have done wonders for this game, I swear. Strange noises and more discreet hallucinations would have enhanced the experience.”
    • “Not scary and devoid of atmosphere.”

  • stability

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    9% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 86% negative mentions

    The game has been widely criticized for its stability issues, with players reporting frequent glitches, bugs, and a lack of playtesting that disrupts gameplay. While some users find the game promising and enjoyable when played slowly, many feel it is rushed and unfinished, leading to a frustrating experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game is buggy and not worth its current price, with a strong need for improvements in stability.

    • “Game runs great for me, good graphics, no lag, controls are fine, and no issues with mouse sensitivity.”
    • “Overall, I would say the bug testing team did a fantastic job as the game is very bug-free from what I've played so far, so well done to them!”
    • “There are occasional glitches, and a manual save option would be nice, but overall very promising.”
    • “It continuously glitches during chapters. I have had to restart three times since playing it in two days because it wouldn't let me back out of a task or move my cursor.”
    • “The gameplay is buggy and overall the game feels largely rushed and unfinished.”
    • “Tldr: it's a buggy overpriced disappointment.”

  • music

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 75% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The music in the game has been widely criticized for being monotonous and overbearing, often leading players to mute it entirely. Many reviewers noted that the repetitive and unfitting soundtrack detracted from the atmosphere, suggesting that a more subtle approach would have enhanced the experience. Additionally, issues such as music looping improperly and a lack of sound in certain operations further contributed to a negative perception of the audio design.

    • “Protip: mute the in-game music and play a 90's radio mix on Spotify for the right 1991 office vibe to make the most of this game.”
    • “There was a portion of the game that seemed to have multiple music tracks on top of each other.”
    • “I also recommend setting the music to 0 since it's very unfitting to the setting; it actually sounds like a track from a logic/puzzle game like The House of Da Vinci or something like that.”
    • “The background music was so monotonous that after half an hour, I had to turn it almost completely off.”
    • “The atmosphere itself seemed to lean too much on eerie music on repeat and the protagonist coming unglued rather than subtleties that would have done it more favors - infrasound (the natural creepiness of mortuary labs and perceived silence would have done wonders for this game, I swear), strange noises, more discreet hallucinations (did you see that body just move out of the corner of your eye?).”
    • “This shit's ass, loaded into the 2nd chapter today and the music wouldn't stop playing, it even looped on top of itself at the end of the chapter and even into the main menu.”

  • replayability

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 26% neutral mentions, 63% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from a lack of replayability, with players noting that the short gameplay (around 4-5 hours) and reliance on a single storyline significantly diminish its value. Many reviewers express hope for future updates, such as an autopsy-only mode or a creator's kit, which could enhance replay value, but as it stands, the game is rated poorly in this aspect, with some giving it a score of 2/10.

    • “I think even some kind of creators kit that would allow people to craft new cases could potentially create unlimited replay value, and I think even if such a thing was DLC, people who own the game would buy it.”
    • “I probably wouldn't have purchased this game if the autopsy-only mode wasn't going to be a thing because personally, I wouldn't say the game is very replayable.”
    • “As someone who loves jumpscare games and replayability, I simply cannot recommend this game to anyone looking for that.”
    • “Took me 4.5 hours to finish, and 25 bucks for max 5 hours of gameplay that currently isn't really replayable is wild.”
    • “Although with only the storyline to go on, there is pretty much no replay value.”

  • optimization

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players report that it runs smoothly even on outdated hardware, others experience significant performance issues that hinder their enjoyment. Many users express hope for future updates to address these optimization concerns, indicating a desire for improvements to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The one positive I will say is that the game is very well optimized and runs smoothly on my outdated PC.”
    • “If there could be an update to fix this issue, I'd be very happy, but right now I'm not sure I want to continue the story until it runs smoothly.”
    • “The performances are frustrating; the sighing is just a bit too much.”
    • “It's got a wonderful story unfolding, the dissections are fun, the jump scares have been lovely; however, the optimization is incredibly poor.”
    • “Still really excited for this and patiently awaiting future tweaks to performance and small hiccups!”

  • grinding

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, often requiring pixel-perfect precision for tasks that feel monotonous and repetitive. Many express that the grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment, making it feel more like a chore than a relaxing experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The game demands you find a pixel-perfect point to take a photo, which is incredibly frustrating and tedious.”
    • “Fades to black, being forced to do things in a very specific manner, and tedious minigames (there's no need for different minigames for the same action, e.g., cutting).”

  • humor

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by its over-the-top exaggeration, leading to moments that are both hilarious and frustrating. Players find the character's inconsistent behavior—shifting from fear to calm explanations—amusing, while the absurdity of certain game mechanics, like model inspections, adds to the comedic effect. However, some users feel that the humor can become annoying, particularly when it detracts from the intended horror experience.

    • “Inspecting models is really silly (funny jiggle).”
    • “The character acts funny most of the time, frightened one second and explaining what to do normally right after.”
    • “The tremendous amount of people complaining this is not a simulator per se, even though apart from the name it never claimed to be, is hilarious and terrifying at the same time.”

  • emotional

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized for its blandness; despite an interesting premise, the story fails to engage players, resulting in a lackluster emotional experience.

    • “The game is very bland; while the premise is interesting, the story (which is the only playable part) is quite dull, resulting in a boring experience.”
    • “The emotional aspect of the game falls flat, as the story fails to engage or resonate with players.”
    • “Despite an intriguing premise, the lack of emotional depth in the narrative makes it feel lifeless and unmemorable.”
