    It is a pretty short game about death and funerals. I found the subject interesting but the gameplay was pretty repetitive. Still enjoyed it, though.

    6/10. The game has boring gameplay and no story to compensate. The gameplay isn't relaxing either.

    A Mortician’s Tale is a gentle reminder of our mortality and a quiet reassurance that it doesn’t have to be viewed negatively. Through informative newsletters woven in with the game’s narrative, and the passionate dream of a young woman, we find that there is peace and joy to be found in the arms of family, green alternatives, and the celebration of our passing.

    Undemanding story adventure with the inspirating theme about dying and the profession of a undertaker.

    It’s a short game, only an hour or so long, but it leaves an impact far beyond its runtime. Give it a chance, and it might just change the way you think about death.
