A Mortician's Tale

I think it was great to learn about the process that goes into preparing people for funeral services, and it had a good, solemn soundtrack, but I personally would not recommend this game. The gameplay feels repetitive and largely consists of point-and-click mechanics, with no puzzle aspect to add interest. Unfortunately, I feel I would've rather watched a documentary.

Respectful and educational look into the industry of death. Boring as a game, though. There's no real gameplay or challenge here - it's just clicking where you're told.

It's a cute game with a nice story but too short. Hope there will be some additional content in the future.

A Mortician's Tale is a warm little interactive fiction illuminating the work that surrounds the inevitable. It's well paced, well written, and kind, while delivering criticism upon the things that are made more difficult than they need to be at such a painful time. Thinking about these things, as the game so wisely points out, is healthy, and I believe playing this can be a great way to start approaching that if you haven't before. Absolutely worth a playthrough.

A very special game that confronts you with something you normally don't think about much. I don't mean dying, I mean what happens after, to your body. It was really educational and insightful. Definitely stayed with me for a while. This game and episode 7 of Midnight Gospel take a very modern approach to educate about the logistics of death and allow one to interact with the topic without the common stigma and fear of one's own inevitable end. I recommend both, as they are more than just entertainment. I think both the game and the Midnight Gospel episode were informed by Caitlin Doughty's work (who was gave her voice to the show)

I really enjoyed this. Learnt a lot about the ethics of funerals and the treatment of people after the death of their loved ones. I particularily got angry at that corporate scum good writing to portray a nasty boss. coooorrrr he annoyed me Big love for this game <3
