!! WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!! This page contains major spoilers for one of the six endings of Mortuary Assistant. If you haven't played the game in its entirety or do not wish to spoil your own experience, do not read any further!!
The Basement Ending is the unofficial name of one of the six endings of The Mortuary Assistant.
== Getting to this ending ==
To get this ending, the player needs to:
* Obtain the hatch key and the large old key, both of which are located in the embalming room;
* Use the hatch key to open the basement doors;
* Use the large old key to open the wooden door to the right after entering the basement;
* End the shift by burning the possessed embalmed body with the correct demon's name inscribed on the mark.
This reveals that Vallery is possessed by a demon and trapped in a coffin, which Raymond has been draining blood from to produce baleful reagents.
== The Ending ==
After learning one of Raymond's secrets in the basement, Rebecca wakes up and immediately confronts Raymond who is waiting in the embalming room. Rebecca claims that what he has been doing is monstruous, to which Raymond replies it is a necessary evil. Rebecca claims that Vallery is suffering for no reason, and Raymond states that it is not Vallery herself who is trapped in the basement anymore, and that she has been dead for years. 
Rebecca says that Raymond does not know what Vallery is feeling and that he is torturing her, to which Raymond replies that she is helping both him and Rebecca survive, thanks to the baleful reagents he is able to produce by using Vallery's blood, and that it is the price they have to pay to have a chance at life. Rebecca suggests to end Vallery's torture since she can't be saved, and to stop her from suffering for Raymond's own gain. Raymond points out that Rebecca also used Vallery's blood despite knowing it was coming from a possessed corpse, and that ultimately Rebecca chose survival just like Raymond.
Raymond states he can't kill Vallery and that he knows it is the right thing to do for her. Raymond also reveals she isn't his only "victim". He reveals that he had seen many people (possibly former mortuary employees) experience what Rebecca had experienced on the mortuary every night, and that none of these people had survived - the Demon's influence made them deteriorate and suffer until they were no longer themselves. Raymond had searched for years to find a way to reverse the effects that the Demon's influence had on these people, but the only thing he could find were methods to prevent more people from succumbing to the Demon's influence, which ultimately forced Raymond to kill these people. 
Raymond acknowledges that he is a monster, but also states that this horrible thing he's doing to Vallery prevents him from taking any more life, and he would rather do this repeatedly than having to kill someone else again, as he is unable to deal with more death than he already does.
