Brook Jensen rated A Mortician's Tale

A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

Although a little short, the game feels exhaustive. There was so much about the industry of death (even just thinking about it as an "industry") that I'd never considered before. The game covers everything from disputes between the deceased and the bereaved, the impact of capitalism and big business, "green" deaths, and more. Even just realizing how much is done to the body to make it look "good" for an open casket funeral gives you pause. I don't know when I'll next have to deal with the death of a loved one, but I will definitely tackle it much more informed than I would have before this game.

The game is sweet, too.
