In this session of A Mortician's Tale, I ended up playing through the next two trials. The gameplay this time around introduced how bodies are cremated, and while I found that it was interesting that the bones need to be crushed down in a cremulator, the gameplay was fairly standard click and drag. There was also the incorporation of a minesweeper game stylized with a death centered theme. The character development and narrative was what really shined this time around. Through the emails on the computer, I was able to get a better feeling for the other characters such as Amy's struggle as a Mom and Pop funeral as well as Matthew's care for Amy. I was also able to learn about Charlie this time around thanks to Jen Love's email. Both Charlie and Jen Love work in death related industries and Charlie has been through a bad breakup before. There aren't any ethical choices directly provided by the game this time around, but the juxtaposition of the funeral tips subscription email and the funeral attendees was very interesting. The funeral tips discussed natural green funerals and respecting the dead, especially transgender deaths. During the funerals, the attendees had a great focus on the sense of loss and what the deceased would have wanted. While these topics do not seem to be related, I felt that these levels were set up as a reminder of respect for the dead. No one knows when death will take their loved ones away from them, and respecting the deceased's last wishes and memories is something so very important.
