Our take on A Mortician's Tale
Its focus on a roughly 1-hour story leaves little room for extended systems, progression, or replay-oriented structure. The game gives up breadth and long-term play in favor of a concentrated account of funeral-home work and the people connected to it.
What is A Mortician's Tale?
Charlie, a newly qualified funeral director, takes charge of a funeral home while becoming familiar with the western death-care profession.
Her duties include preparing remains through embalming or cremation, attending services, and hearing personal accounts from bereaved relatives. She also deals with colleagues, customers, and supervisors as she discovers how the business operates. The narrative examines the present and possible future of death care in the West with candor, information, and occasional humor.
