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.

Really loved this game

Such a special game. I loved the story development.

Short and Lovely

The perfect little hour-or-so-long game. Thoughtful and gentle.

More games in the near future someday

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💗

Shot but beautiful!

I love the artstyle and mini-stories of this game I will say once the boss changed I was slightly frustrated with the choices the new one made yet I think that was the intention as it adds to the story, so I loved it! I highly recommend this game there’s no ads and it’s a peaceful experience that honestly was kind of wholesome even when it was slightly dark at times. Yet not depressing for a morgue game. I liked that and I’m interested to see any other games made by this person or people. ✨💖💯

awful

fun for about 15 minutes until the game ends

dont understand the negativity :(

i loved this game! the people who are complaining about it being too short are suuuchh negative nancys. i spent about an hour playing the game — five dollars is not an absurd price for that! ^_^ i liked looking through all of the details of the emails and dialogue! awesomesauce..

Beautiful, heartfelt, enlightening

Everyone should play this game. It’s a story you play through in one go, but it is such a powerful story. Pro tip: Be sure to read all the emails before responding to the one with a response prompt.

Great game but too short

It’s would be nice to run a funeral home in the game . A little too short

Best Game ever

I’ve always wanted to be an mortician. And I finished the game like 5 time actually tho. Please make another game🙏🙏🙏

Very Educational

I didn’t find this game morbid at all. The funeral business has always been a mystery. You have opened the doors to an unknown world. The funeral industry is BIG BUSINESS. They make a lot if money taking advantage of people’s grief. Thank you so must for demystifying this process. It was quite educational, informative, and helpful. I hope others find it to be so!

Well done <3

This was fantastic, a huge virtual hug to the creators. I played the whole thing, it’s very respectful and realistic, you incorporated so many things about the current funeral culture. Thank you!

Educational

This is much more educational then a game. That said I 100% recommend it for people who are interested in the mortuary field, or to better understand what your options are for when it’s your time.

Wonderful little narrative game exploring death

At the time of writing this, this game has 2.9 stars on the App Store, and I’m shocked. To me it felt like a beautiful and thoughtful narrative game that explores death from the perspective of people who encounter it every day in their jobs.

Yes, the game is short, about 45 minutes for me. Yes, it is worth $3. I don’t understand anyone saying it should be free or cost less—games take SO much work and the expectation that they should sell for tiny amounts of money or be entirely free is toxic.

To the developers, you made a wonderful experience and I hope you’re really proud of it. The people saying it’s too short, or it should be replayable, or it isn’t worth $3 are wrong and haven’t understood the value of a succinct and meaningful interactive story. I’m excited to play anything else you’ve made or make in the future.

An intimate and beautiful game

I fell in love with the soul of this game. It was was warm and comforting. My only complaint is that it was way too short

Beautiful

Beautiful, amazing, and sentimental game

Nice game

The game is great but it is short. It will take you maximum half an hour to complete it.

A game I like to come back to

Always a peaceful and thoughtful way to spend an hour.

Boring

Not worth the money
