The Night Shift Database

The Night Shift Database is a game mechanic in The Mortuary Assistant that allows the player to access information about demons. It can be accessed by the player after finding a randomised code on the back of Raymond's ID card and logging into the computer in the embalming room. The database is comprised of a homepage and four main categories with some having their own sub sections which have been created by Raymond to aid the player in narrowing down which demon is currently attempting to possess Rebecca and also as a reminder on how to banish them.
===Nightshift Database Homepage===
The homepage contains a small blurb from Raymond explaining that it is his life's work as well as a list on the steps to banishment.
"Path to Banishment
-Embalm each body with the special reagent from the cabinet.
-Use letting strips from the cabinet to attempt to reveal demonic sigils.
-Compare the found demonic sigils to the demon's names within the NightShift database
-Build the mark to match the demon's name.
-Pay attention to each body for demonic activity.
-Note that bringing an already embalmed body back out to re-inspect for changes may be necessary.
-Burn that body in the retort before possession takes hold."
=== History of the Demonic ===
This section of the database contains lore and information regarding the demons that will haunt Rebecca throughout the game and can be useful for the player to familiarize themselves with. There are four sub sections detailing different aspects respectively: Recovered Language, The halls of hell, Quarter Letting and The lesser spirits. 
=== Identifying Demonic Tenancy ===
Much of the information within this section deals with how to identify which body is likely to be the chosen vessel for the current playthrough. It contains a short list of indicators of possession, images depicting demonic markings as well as a short video clip demonstrating the subtle movements that some bodies can make if they're the chosen vessel. Refer to Demonic Tenancy Tells and Possessed Body Tells for further details.
=== Sigils of Demonic Names ===
Markings that are discovered by letting strips throughout the mortuary can be compared against the demonic seals within this database. The order in which the sigils appear are randomised each run, though the three demonic houses (Immolation, Invidious and Desolation) remain the same. Players will need to check their markings carefully as some markings can appear across one or more of the three houses.
=== Tools to Combat Demonic Forces ===
Here the player can find information about the three main tools that will be used within the game to identify and bind the demon Rebecca needs to burn. This includes The Mark, Baleful Reagent and Letting Strips which each have their own subsection detailing further information on each.
