What players say

Players praise the game's thoughtful look at death and the funeral industry, calling it therapeutic and informative. But nearly everyone says it is very short, around 30 to 60 minutes, and opinions split on whether the asking price is worth that length. Some find the protagonist bland and the story too brief, while others appreciate the care in the subject matter despite the brevity.
