This got me and chat talking about our experiences with funerals, it was very chill, we didn't talk about it sadly but out of curiosity. I do wish the gameplay was a bit more in depth as it got a bit repetitive, buut it was a short game mainly focusing on story, made me tear up a bit with one death.

A Mortician's Tale offers a short-story yet leaves an emotional impression and information about mortician & funeral. I recommend you to read all the emails, especially Funerals Monthly. I've learnt about funeral etiquette, traditions, green burial, LGBTQ+ funerals, etc. Artstyle and soundtrack were nice & calm.

The game was quite boring, repetitive and slow. The job of a Mortician is very intriguing to me and even though the game shows the occupation quite good, they made it very repetitive and it lacked that something. The funerals were very simple, quick and not all that well made. Something that they did well was definitely the minesweeper (though the symbols were confusing) and the emails/story within the emails.

While this wasn't my favorite game, if you can pick it up on sale, it's certainly got it's charms. I think A Mortician's Tale did an excellent job of being respectful and informative on the subject of death as it pertains to a variety of different cultures, customs, and causes. (Trigger warning: suicide) The art style is charming and similar to that of Untitled Goose Game. The pace can be a bit slow, however, and there are a slew of spelling and grammatical errors in the many emails that construct the plot.

A very solemn game that has a very different take on how to treat life or the end of life. I love the subtle story and also thinking about how to celebrate one's life while grieving the loss of the same one.

An insight into grief and loss, through the lens of the death industry. Short, sweet, and educational, with plenty of tidbits to get you thinking about bigger issues for both the living and the deceased. Also contains cryptic minesweeper for some reason.
