The Mortuary Assistant is set entirely in a funeral home at night—a liminal space between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The River Fields Mortuary is a skidrow for souls: a temporary holding pen for those who have no place left in the sunlit world of the living. To play the game on Skidrow is to double this liminality. You are a person in a mortuary (in-game) dealing with the unhoused dead, while simultaneously being a person on Skidrow (out-of-game) dealing with the unhoused digital artifacts of creative labor.

The Skidrow experience operates on a similar axis of ritualistic repetition. The user seeking a cracked copy of The Mortuary Assistant must navigate a labyrinth of pop-up ads, link shorteners, captcha tests, and torrent clients.

The fear in both acts is the fear of contamination: the demonic spirit that might escape the body, the cryptominer or ransomware that might escape the cracked .exe .
