good game but needed more

It was a really well made and thought out game, however I felt it needed more. It’s quite short which is okay but I think they needed to add more families that were more complex and interpersonal. Having lost someone, I still felt this game properly represented what happens at funerals, I just wish there was a bit more substance to the dialogue.

I LOVE THIS GAME

I want to be a funeral director and was watching someone play The Morgue Assistant or wtv and was like “i was an mortician game without the horror aspect! death isnt scary!” and then found this game! i absolutely love it! its so cute and i love the story line. i definitely cried just a little bit.. i think the only thing that bothered me was that sometimes the grammar or formatting of the words or wtv its called wasnt always right. but i still adore this game💗
