About This Demo

This free demo is the first two nights of the shift: the hatch, the file, the covered gurney behind the glass, and a rulebook that already has more pages than anyone mentioned at the interview.

Quarantine any intake presenting vital signs. Do not open the bag. Do not speak to it.

Night shift at a municipal morgue. A bell rings. Paperwork comes through the hatch. Behind the observation glass, a covered gurney rolls into the intake bay. The clerk's job is written down: confirm that the paperwork and the body are the same thing.

PLEASE CONFIRM THE DECEASED is a gatekeeper horror game about procedure: a form that is nearly right, a weight that is nearly correct, and a rulebook that keeps adding pages you would rather not have read.

Reject any intake whose measured weight differs from the certificate by 10 kg or more.

Read the file: the death certificate and the transfer manifest. Any of the names, weights, heights, dates or signatures may be lying. Check the body with the scale, the measuring tape, the thermometer and the stethoscope. Stamp ACCEPT, QUARANTINE or REJECT. Or call your supervisor, if you still have a call left.

An intake reading 30 °C or above is not cold. What is not cold is not accepted.

Three pages of rules on your first night, and the second night adds more. The newest page overrules the older ones.

Each intake is processed once. If you have seen the name before, you have not.

That page arrives on the second night, and so does a name you have already processed.

Requisitions

Correct signatures pay and wrong ones cost. After the first night you can spend your pay on what the job does not provide: a UV lamp, a bolt for the door that holds exactly once, a spare fuse. You are always short of something.

After the second night

The full game is seven nights of intake, about two to three hours, written in advance and dealt procedurally so no two clerks work the same shift.

Nothing is ever uncovered. The horror is paper, stamps, fluorescent tubes, a covered shape behind observation glass, and a reading you take twice because the first one cannot be right.

PLEASE CONFIRM THE DECEASED is written and designed under one author's direction: its narrative, rules and case files are human–AI co-written and human-edited, and the design is the author's. Its background plates and props are pre-generated with AI image tools under human art direction; every document, form, stamp and interface element is drawn in code. Music and sound are produced with AI assistance under the author's direction. Nothing is generated while you play.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

PLEASE CONFIRM THE DECEASED contains pre-generated AI content: background plates and environment/prop art created with generative image tools, and music and sound effects created with generative audio tools, all curated, edited and art-directed by a human. One short looping animation of the body bay was made from one of those plates with a generative video tool. Its narrative text, rules and case files are human–AI co-written and human-edited under the author's direction; the game design is the author's. All documents, forms, stamps and user-interface elements are drawn programmatically. No AI content is generated at runtime, and the game contains no AI-generated depictions of real people.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

PLEASE CONFIRM THE DECEASED is a horror game for mature players. You work the night intake desk of a municipal morgue: bagged corpses arrive on gurneys, you take instrument readings from a body behind observation glass, and you stamp a verdict on paperwork that does not always match what is on the table — including intakes that still present a pulse. Its themes are death handled as clerical work, institutional decay, coercion and complicity.

Nothing is ever uncovered. The game contains no depicted killing, no blood or gore, no sexual content and no nudity. The horror is a reading that cannot be right, a rule added to the book overnight, and a case taken off your hands.
