I found this game after a friend of mine heard about it from a video about "cozy games and misogyny". I'm currently working in the death industry and am finishing up my degree. I thought this game was a pretty good look into the "backroom" parts of funeral service. The soundtrack made it very peaceful, and I really loved the email articles! Even though we can't really opt out of certain cases in real life, I thought the choice to opt out of the suicide case was a nice touch, especially for someone playing the game who may not be in the industry. I would love to see a game like this go into more detail with arrangements and "front of house" stuff, but overall I give this game a solid 10/10.

A Mortician’s Tale is a short, but incredibly meaningful experience that approaches death and grief with care. It’s living proof that indie games don’t need huge budgets or action-packed gameplay to convey powerful stories. (I just wish it were a little longer. It took me roughly around an hour to complete, and it left me craving for more.)

I took about two hours to play this game. It is short and sweet. The premise is simple and in the name, you are a Mortician at your first funeral home. The game loop is easy, and you will get into the rhythm of it pretty quickly. It does become a pattern rather than a chore in my opinion because of how short the game is. The things that really made me enjoy my experience was the background story. You do not have to read the emails or click on the 2nd tab, but I highly encourage you to do so. They do not impact the game play but they are where the true heart of the game lies. Without the emails and talking to the funeral attendees, it becomes nothing, almost like how Hillside in the game operates. The characters have personalities, and your can feel them in the words they send to you. The story made me cry by the end. It tugged on my heart. And it really did it in a slow burn. While the character never really speaks, if you decide to embody her, it can become something that creeps up on you in terms of your emotions. I will not spoil the story, but the last email about the partnership with the hospital... it actually broke me. This story lets your learn about death, how others may view it, and how you might want to reflect on it yourself. As a person grieving my grandmother's death, this little story helped me in a way I did not expect, just allowing me to go threw a healing process with others, even virtually, was helpful and soothing. It is a short game, 2 hours really at most, but it is rewarding. I encourage you to get it on sale if you feel the price is too steep, it is worth your time.

This is a short and simple game about being a mortician, and as someone interested in mortuary work in the future, I really enjoyed it! The story is charming but very short—being about an hour in length. The gameplay is satisfying and easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions for each service, which is helpful if you ever forget a step. I especially liked the newsletter, which provides interesting information on different types of funerals and how death is viewed across cultures. I loved the cute art style, and absolutely LOVE that the main character has tattoos! I’d recommend picking up this game on sale if you don’t mind how short it is. <3

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.
