What Is Mausoleosis?
David receives a frightened letter from his mother asking him to collect her. She has been dead for twenty years, but he enters the mausoleum where she was buried rather than ignore the message.
How to Play Mausoleosis
Explore the bone-filled mausoleum, solve deliberately strange puzzles, and make choices that steer David toward one of four endings. Examining objects is as important as moving between rooms.

- Z or Space: confirm and interact
- X or Esc: menu and cancel
- Shift: dash when enabled
Objectives
- Follow the letter to the mausoleum.
- Inspect rooms for puzzle clues and usable objects.
- Choose how David responds to what he finds.

Story, Style, and Horror Design
RPG Maker pixel art gives the crypt an ornate, decaying identity. Rats, bones, music, and the impossible letter keep grief and supernatural dread intertwined.
Mausoleosis Tips
- Save before decisions that change David's response.
- Examine decorative objects; some carry puzzle context.
- After one ending, change earlier choices instead of only the final action.
