Ratings and Reviews
Awesome!
I think this game is well made, however a few things that I think would be
Really cool to add!
- More realistic graphics/bodies/blood/gore
-being able to set up the funeral yourself, picking flowers/food/tablecloths ect
-Being able to do the corpse’s makeup and get them ready for the funeral/fixing areas from death wounds
-Add money, earn the money from the services and use it to buy things; coffins, decor, venues, better office ect
And make it an ongoing game.
Shows the beauty in death
Though unfortunately short, this game was lovely; teaching little things about funerals, such as alternative ways to be buried (i actually hope to be able to get the biopod that turns your nutrients into a tree).
One part made me tear up, though I won’t spoil it, and others made me filled with rage near the end, as my beliefs don’t enjoy the reality that most companies think funerals as purely money, making it about them, and not what the deceased wishes.
All in all its worth it to support the developer, and I hope to see more games like this if they continue developing.
Interesting…but needs more
This is a super refreshing and unique game concept, and as a new death doula, I love it.
I really appreciated the insight into the funeral industry it provides.
I unfortunately found it pretty repetitive and short - I finished the game in less than half an hour. There weren’t any choices or alternative routes, and it wasn’t clear on how the main character got to her “happy ending”. Cool concept to start, but needs a lot more to keep it interesting.
