Very Short but cute game about being a mortician, and as someone interested in doing mortuary work in the future, I really enjoyed this game! The story is short, but is very charming and keeps you engaged. The game play is extremely satisfying and simple to follow, as it gives you step by step instructions for each service you do, which is nice if you forget any steps or get stuck. The newsletter on your computer I specifically liked, as it gives you a lot of good information on different types of funerals and how death looks in different cultures. I adore the art style and I LOVE that the main character has tattoos!! I would recommend this game if you don't mind how short it is!

I feel like this game was too short for the price, but I love that it actually gave a relatively realistic view at the deathcare industry and actually works to educate throughout the game.

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 ♥

A Different World I picked up this game, thinking, hey, basic retro graphics, but with a really interesting premise : "you are a mortician". Death is not a topic people talk about enough in the western world. We are scared of dying, we give it too much power, for a thing that is, inevitable. Death is taboo to many, even though it is a guaranteed thing for every one of us. The Premise The game starts out, learning a bit about the job of the mortician. But quite quickly draws you into the persona. A kind of person and the workplace, which we see as completely unconnected to our lives. Not being into tattoos or any kind of gothic and dark stuff, might also drag you out of your comfort zone. So I tried to imagine Abigail Beethoven Sciuto, the lab technician in the engaging CSI crime series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby_Sciuto instead. Which I hope will set the scene, someone who has principles, and sticks to them in spite of a workplace and industry focused on only money and death. You get to see the compassionate side of the profession and people. It's a long while since I played the game, it's a really short game. It was so short I forgot to even review it I guess. 1 hour or so max. Unexpectedly it did give me a definite boost of confidence that I was in the right place mentally, and just need to keep at things. Even though it felt like things were stacked against me. Weird, but I enjoyed it so much I hoped and still do, there would be a new chapter at some point.
