    The presentation of this tale is not overly philosophical; it's more tactfully educative than thought-provoking.

    A Mortician's Tale is the kind of game that hype would disservice. It's not a subject matter everyone may be interested in, but those who are willing to make the emotional investment are likely to be rewarded.

    A Mortician's Tale is a beautiful work depicting the death industry warts and all. However, I will warn buyers that it is not a game in a traditional sense but rather an interactive art piece. Mortician's Tale takes about an hour or so to complete and the story is engaging. Give it a shot and enjoy.

    A Mortician's Tale gives us a different angle of everyone's ending and the people who give their efforts at corners that almost nobody ever looks at. The only disadvantage here is the game is too short.

    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.
