Critic Reviews for A Mortician's Tale
An approachable and thought-provoking meditation on life's only certainty.
Death gets its moment in a clear-eyed and uplifting game about the funeral business.
Death shouldn't be something we don't talk about and the death business isn't something that should exist in the shadows. A Mortician's Tale provides an excellent way to join that conversation while shedding some light on a mysterious business that would prefer to stay cloaked in darkness. 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.
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.
A Mortician's Tale is quite an impressive thought-provoking game about death and dying. It presents it with ease, unpretentiously and positively. When you give it an extra splash of pink, you could say it's an endearing game. It's definitely an interesting look behind the scenes of funeral homes and their work. On the other hand, this game might not be for everyone.
