Hey Pathologists!

In case you missed it, we recently announced that a free content update will arrive on 12th December, which brings the full release of our simulation-focused game mode 'Autopsy Only Mode' to Autopsy Simulator.

Today, we have Autopsy Only Mode news and new screenshots to share from our upcoming update!

In Autopsy Only Mode, you'll step into the shoes of a student pathologist. Conduct autopsies to get scored based on your performance, so ensure you're following the accurate flow and procedures in the Autopsy Room to get the best score and rank! You'll be scored based on performance via the following criteria:

• Minigame Score
  
• Planning & Preparations
  
• Unnecessary Examinations
  
• Final Cause of Death
  
• Clean Up

Alongside Autopsy Only Mode's arrival, this week's update will bring alterations to Dead Memories. We've been making tweaks to the story mode based on community feedback and will have further details on this later in Devlog #20!
Since our last PTE update in November, we've made several alterations and improvements to our upcoming simulation-focused game mode, ready for full launch on 12th December. These Autopsy Only Mode changes include:
We've enhanced the realism in the Autopsy Room by implementing new and improved textures to Autopsy Only Mode, since PTE Update 3! This includes alterations to cadavers' injuries and improvements to the textures of scarring, cuts and more for Autopsy Only Mode.

During the PTE process, the community playtested Autopsy Only Mode with two cadavers. Since then, we've made alterations to these cadavers and added the third body for AOM's full launch! Below are screenshots of these cadavers:

When you select Autopsy Only Mode, one of the three cadavers will be selected at random to dissect. Alongside this, each cadaver will spawn with randomised facial hair style and head design for cadavers in Autopsy Only Mode.

In our previous Devlog, we've discussed the ten total causes of death included in Autopsy Only Mode! The game mode contains seven generic causes of death across all cadavers and three unique causes of death, one per cadaver. This means that when you begin your Autopsy Only Mode game, you'll select from eight causes of death. Selecting the correct cause of death will score you more points in our new game mode.

We've seen community questions regarding Achievements for our new simulation-focused game mode. We're pleased to announce that Autopsy Only Mode brings eleven new achievements for Autopsy Simulator, all unlocked during our new game mode.

We hope you're looking forward to getting back into the Autopsy Room this week and unlocking them all!

Alongside the release of our new game mode for Autopsy Simulator, our free update on December 12th will bring some tweaks and changes to Dead Memories.

The team has been working on bug fixes, based on Dead Memories community feedback. This includes fixing an issue where some horror elements would not trigger, making the second alternative ending easier to occur, and more! 🤝

We've also made some alterations to the organ cutting in Dead Memories, by implementing AOM organ cutting improvements into the story mode. Along with this addition, we've made some minor tweaks and bug fixes to improve your experience with Dead Memories! Learn more about Dead Memories story mode on our Steam page below: ⬇️

Hey Pathologists! 👋🧑‍⚕️

Today, we have great news to share, as after multiple Autopsy Only Mode PTE updates, we have a confirmed launch date for our Autopsy Only Mode free content update for Autopsy Simulator.


Head back into the Autopsy Room on December 12th to experience our new simulation-focused game mode!

Step into the shoes of a student pathologist and conduct autopsies correctly by following the accurate flow and procedures in the Autopsy Room to get the best final rating and score! In Autopsy Only Mode, you'll be scored based on several specific criteria, including:

The flow of the autopsy: Players need to ensure all areas of the internal and external examinations are conducted and performed well. If some procedures during the autopsy are skipped, players will be docked points from their final score.

It could be as simple as forgetting to photograph an integral area of the cavader or as big as forgetting to examine an organ. All choices during the new game mode will affect your final score, so make sure you're making decisive decisions in the Autopsy Room to ensure the best Autopsy Only Mode score! Alongside this, ensure you are cutting organs correctly and not failing any minigames, as this will cause you to lose score.

Final cause of death judgement: In Autopsy Only Mode, there are seven generic causes of death across all cadavers and three unique causes of death, one per cadaver in Autopsy Only Mode. When you begin your game of AOM, there are eight possible causes of death for each body. Select the correct cause of death for the cadaver to gain points and a better final rank in Autopsy Only Mode!

To do so, ensure you've been thorough in your examinations and review your notes in your clipboard tabs. Also, we've added fourteen decoy causes of death, to add more randomness to the game mode and increase AOM's replayability! Decoy causes of death create misdirection, whilst developing the narrative of the events unfolding as you progress through the autopsy.

If you're struggling during your Autopsy Only Mode playthrough, here are two elements that will quickly help you on December 12th:

New Tape recorder: Utilise Jack's knowledge through his pre-recorded audio tapes, which acts as a guide for Autopsy Only Mode and contains useful information about the flow of the Autopsy procedure.

Already a master in the Autopsy Room? There's an option to turn off the tapes in Autopsy Only Mode for those who want to experience the game mode without this feature!

New Blackboard: We've altered the blackboards in our new game mode so they are clearer for the workflow of Autopsy Only Mode. Here you will view each stage of the autopsy procedure and the ordering of tasks to complete in the Autopsy Room.

Following the blackboard's order will benefit your final scoring during our Autopsy Only Mode game mode!

We want to thank you all for playtesting Autopsy Only Mode since the start of our PTEs for the game mode in September. Your feedback, suggestions and comments during the PTE process have helped us make Autopsy Only Mode the best game mode it can be! 🖤

Our last update was our final for the PTE branch, as we've been focusing in recent weeks on finalising the game mode, ready for its release on December 12th.

During the PTE process, we've added new features and tweaked existing mini-games for Autopsy Only Mode, which includes cadavers arriving in zip-bags, a new Loppers mini-game, new mazes for existing mini-games, alterations to the UV Lamp to integrate this tool into the process of Autopsy Only Mode, and more!

These additions and alterations will create more variation for each game of Autopsy Only Mode and better suit the scoring mechanic of our new game mode for Autopsy Simulator!

We cannot wait for you to have the full Autopsy Only Mode experience on December 12th. Soon we will showcase more of Autopsy Only Mode in a future Devlog, so keep your eyes peeled and scalpels sharp! 👀
