A Mortician's Tale

Its an interesting game but gets boring quickly, wish there was more dialouge or just general story instead of just repetitve action w/no change or development. For the price... 4.5/10.

An adorable, short game that rolls through the basics of embalming and preparing a corpse.

I really enjoyed this short interactive visual novel. I originally found this game on a whim during one of the sales and admit I was drawn in because of the color palette. For such a short game, the devs did a wonderful job at exploring death and grief with such care and even nuance. The NPC interactions are brief, but I found them to be fairly realistic in the approach to depicting different layers and ways to grieve. While there are numerous traditions surrounding death practices, this game did open up the discussion for less traditional practices and even brings in the nuances of autonomy and even corporate greed. I love how much the devs were able to pack into such a short game. The interactive portions of the game were perfect for my lower energy, but still gave me enough to work with and keep up with the story line. The music was phenomenal. I absolutely recommend this game, particularly if you are involved with any sort of death care.

I loved the messages of the game, as well as the insights into the business and profession. It's filled with information surrounding death rites and procedures, which I enjoyed learning more about, but for a text-heavy narative game there were multiple typos! Gameplay isn't revolutionary or particularly entertaining, but manages to keep the game cozy with it's repetitiveness and slow pace. It's peaceful and rewarding nonetheless.

This game is incredibly boring, and looks really like it was build by an AI or something. Look somewhere else.
