    It's a cute game with a nice story but too short. Hope there will be some additional content in the future.

    A Mortician's Tale is a warm little interactive fiction illuminating the work that surrounds the inevitable. It's well paced, well written, and kind, while delivering criticism upon the things that are made more difficult than they need to be at such a painful time. Thinking about these things, as the game so wisely points out, is healthy, and I believe playing this can be a great way to start approaching that if…

    I think it was great to learn about the process that goes into preparing people for funeral services, and it had a good, solemn soundtrack, but I personally would not recommend this game. The gameplay feels repetitive and largely consists of point-and-click mechanics, with no puzzle aspect to add interest. Unfortunately, I feel I would've rather watched a documentary.
