For this final session, I replayed A Mortician's Tale to see if there were any elements that i had missed on my first playthrough. Really not much else to say. The game overall was short and sweet. I do think the corporation was truly immoral in its business practices (mainly in the way that it tried to make money, mainly through the exploitation of people in grieving or mourning). Besides that, the game really threw a positive spin on death as a whole, probably as a way to throw off a lot of misconceptions on the whole process.

There were 3 main topics brought up in these gamelogs that caught my attention: the moral choice of fulfilling the last wishes of the dead or of the family, the corruption and unethical acts of the corporation that takes of the mortuary, and the wholesome/death positive approach of the game. Any one of these could be interesting to explore further in terms of their ethical relevance. Good work!
