Overall, the game is seen more as a story-driven experience rather than a true simulator, leading to dissatisfaction regarding its value for the price.

    • “The story is engaging and intriguing.”
    • “I really enjoyed the game play, and how the story added a psychological thriller aspect to the game.”
    • “The story was interesting and kept me going.”
    • “The story isn't well written and buggy game mechanics.”
    • “I'm really disappointed this game had real potential and they let it go downhill with the lack of storyline; I don't recommend this game.”
    • “The story is horrible; the ending was a disaster.”
  • gameplay98 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the autopsy mechanics and detailed graphics, but criticizing the overall execution due to bugs, repetitive tasks, and a lack of depth. While some find the gameplay fun for a few hours, others feel it is hindered by a weak narrative and excessive hand-holding, making it feel more like a scripted experience than a true simulator. Overall, the game shows potential but is marred by its current state, leading to disappointment regarding its price-to-playtime ratio.

    • “The main campaign is okay, nothing special and does a lot of hand-holding, but the gameplay is unique and satisfyingly morbid.”
    • “The mechanics for the autopsies and love for details is good and implemented nicely.”
    • “The devs have done a fantastic job; it took me around 6 hours to complete, so the price is 100% worth it. The mechanics play incredibly well, the body details are insane, and the jumpscares are wild.”
    • “The autopsy gameplay is hindered by the need to search for items in other locations, which disrupts the flow.”
    • “The gameplay is disappointingly mundane.”
    • “The gameplay for autopsy simulator is tedious and clunky with a poorly told story layered on top that ends incredibly abruptly and has minimal horror elements.”
  • graphics57 mentions

    The graphics in the game have received widespread praise for their realism and attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of cadavers and autopsy mechanics. Many players noted the visuals as a standout feature, enhancing the overall experience despite some minor graphical glitches and inconsistencies. However, some reviewers felt that while the graphics were impressive, they could not compensate for the game's lack of content and gameplay depth.

    • “The graphics are wonderful; the game is super pretty and realistic.”
    • “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, all depicted with striking realism.”
    • “The attention to detail is incredible, with lifelike graphics and authentic medical tools making each autopsy feel real.”
    • “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 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.”
  • atmosphere25 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its immersive and eerie qualities, effectively capturing the horror and psychological thriller elements. While many players appreciate the visual and auditory design that enhances the creepy ambiance, some critique it for relying too heavily on repetitive soundscapes and lacking subtlety. Overall, the game offers a gripping atmosphere that keeps players engaged, despite some inconsistencies in execution.

    • “The atmosphere is immersive and gripping, leaning heavily into the horror and psychological thriller genre.”
    • “The game is visually stunning, and the atmosphere is appropriately eerie, capturing the dark tone it aims for.”
    • “Fun game, awesome atmosphere, sound design was incredible, horror was subtle but effective.”
    • “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, more discreet hallucinations (did you see that body just move out of the corner of your eye?).”
    • “Not scary and devoid of atmosphere.”
  • stability23 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, including soft-locks and graphical issues. While some users experienced smooth performance with no major problems, others found the game to be largely unfinished and frustratingly buggy, particularly during key tasks and story segments. Overall, the game shows promise but suffers from significant stability issues that detract from the experience.

    • “Game runs great for me, good graphics, no lag, controls are fine, and no issues with mouse sensitivity.”
    • “No glitches to game-breaking hiccups, which is always very nice.”
    • “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!”
    • “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.”
  • music18 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and monotonous, often leading them to mute it entirely. While some appreciate its calmness, others criticize it for being unfitting and overbearing, detracting from the overall atmosphere. Additionally, technical issues such as overlapping tracks and bugs further diminish the music's impact on the gaming experience.

    • “The music, though repetitive, is calm and nice to listen to; it doesn't take away from the game.”
    • “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.”
    • “Had to turn off the short looping piano music because it was putting me to sleep.”
    • “The background music was so monotonous that after half an hour, I had to turn it almost completely off.”
    • “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.”
  • replayability12 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered very low, with many players noting its short playtime of around 4-5 hours and a linear structure that offers little incentive to replay. While some hope for future updates or modes to enhance replay value, current reviews indicate a lack of alternative choices or engaging mechanics that would encourage players to return.

    • “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.”
    • “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.”
    • “The game is extremely linear with only a single path, offering no replayability or alternative choices.”
  • grinding8 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, often requiring repetitive and mundane tasks that detract from the overall experience. The gameplay is criticized for its clunky mechanics and the need for pixel-perfect precision, leading to a sense of boredom rather than engagement. Overall, the grinding feels more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It was all tedious.”
    • “Also, it is very tedious to go to other rooms for equipment every 5 minutes; just boring.”
  • humor7 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by a mix of over-the-top reactions and silly moments, such as exaggerated character behaviors and amusing model interactions. While some players find the comedic elements entertaining and engaging, others feel that the humor can be overdone or distracting, leading to a blend of hilarity and annoyance. Overall, the game's comedic approach adds a unique layer to the experience, though opinions on its effectiveness vary.

    • “I love this story :D was funny :D”
    • “And the character acts funny most of the time, frightened one second ago and explains 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.”
  • optimization7 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues even on low settings, while others report smooth gameplay on older hardware. Overall, many users express frustration with the game's optimization, hoping for future updates to improve performance and enhance their 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!”
  • emotional1 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized, as players find the story to be bland and unengaging, despite an interesting premise. This lack of depth in the narrative results in a disappointing emotional experience for players.

    • “The game is very bland; while the premise is interesting, the story (which is the only playable part) is dull, resulting in a boring experience.”
    • “I expected an emotional journey, but instead, I was met with a lackluster narrative that failed to engage me.”
    • “Despite its potential, the emotional depth of the story is severely lacking, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users feeling misled about its simulator elements, while others appreciate the clear horror focus and the potential for increased replayability with the upcoming autopsy-only mode, which may enhance its value at the current price point.

    • “The monetization model is overly aggressive, making it feel like the game is more about making money than providing a good experience.”
