Autopsy Simulator is a first-person medical-horror experience where players take on the role of a practice pathologist and study realistic case files, created in collaboration with real-world forensic doctors, to help guide their examination and dissection of anatomically accurate bodies and determine each subject's cause of death.

Alongside their powers of deduction, players use a variety of medically authentic tools and procedures, certified by a real-world pathologist, to learn more about each body as they peel back the layers of individual cases and unravel the mysteries surrounding each death.

Autopsy Simulator also includes Autopsy Simulator: Dead Memories, a self-contained, narrative-driven psychological horror experience set in 1990s New Orleans that follows the story of Jack, a middle-aged pathologist whose life has taken a turn for the worse after a personal tragedy. Players unravel a gripping mystery as Jack battles his inner demons while performing a range of medically accurate post-mortem procedures.

Originally announced in 2020, the first-person horror experience will give players control of a forensic doctor battling his inner demons while undertaking autopsies in the 1990s.

Initially planned for May 9, 2024, Woodland Games and Team17 Digital shared that the release date for Autopsy Simulator is now set for June 6, 2024.

“Over recent weeks, we’ve had an internal development-related issue that has impacted our development of Autopsy Simulator. Due to this, we’ve made the decision to move the release date for Autopsy Simulator to 6th June 2024.

During the extra month, the team will be working to fine-tune the game so we can release the best version of Autopsy Simulator on our new release date. We appreciate this news is not what our community wants to hear. This was a tough decision to make, but it was made with the quality of our final product in mind. 

Our aim with Autopsy Simulator has always been to blend two contrasting genres, creating an authentic autopsy experience with twisted psychological horror moments. This shift in release date allows us to meet these aims and add the necessary final tweaks that we are very excited to deliver to you all. 

We apologise to everyone looking forward to playing our game next month and hope you’ll continue to follow our development journey as we progress towards our new 6th June launch date.”
