I hit yes because the game is a cute little hour of your time. Don't pay $10 for it tho, def not worth that. Finished the game in 70 minutes, and then realized I missed an achievement, and that took an extra 21 minutes of me guesstimating on a stupid minesweeper mini game before I gave up. Overall A Mortician's Tale is alright, and teaches you the processes funeral homes go through to ensure the deceased are taken care of in a fascinating way. That said tho, def not worth $10 cause it's waaaaay too short, but I got it on sale for half off and I think that's worth $5 <3 All in all the development team did good for a game so short and simple!

I didnt cry, my eyes were just peeing. I absolutely loved this game! Surprisingly informative, the small details of change throughout the story line (you can really tell the difference between a place owned by someone who cares about what they're doing vs a company that just wants profit and expansion) Ive had this game in my library for so long, Im happy I finally finished it ♥

This game presents death from a unique perspective—not as something dark, sad, or fearful, nor as a curiosity or an object of fascination, but rather in a calm, realistic, and serious way. A work that directly addresses the subject of death could even be seen as original and innovative. Honestly, compared to the themes and objectives the game seeks to explore, its structure is simple, its length is short, its content is limited, and the gameplay experience might feel inadequate to fully capture the gravity of death. Even so, I still think it’s worth experiencing.

This is less a game and more an interactive educational presentation about the death industry. I can't really say this game is "fun." The gameplay aspect is minimal and repetitive, except for the optional, extremely hard Minesweeper-type puzzle. But the game is interesting, and you learn a lot about the death industry that you probably didn't know. It's generally presented well and is good for making you think a bit. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but I don't think it's bad, either. It's expensive for what it is, but you can just get it on sale.

A Mortician’s Tale doesn’t really feel like a game, instead it functions more as an informative vehicle about the funeral industry. Its biggest strength is its ability to have you think about mortality in a constructive and comfortable way. Instead of spending time trudging through the pain of loss it instead focuses on attempting to honor someone’s life. The game feels a smidge over priced and may not be a great game to play if you are currently in a rough spot regarding your mortality, but I still enjoyed this title.
