It's a very surface level vn with little revolutionary alterations to the genre, but the aesthetic decisions, complicated portrayal of grief, and exceptional establishing of consistent tone make it stand out despite.

You play a professional mourner, using the hobby to reconcile with her complicated relationship with her own emotions. It's full of eerie folklore and urban weirdness that makes it fit in well with the Night Veil or Magnus Archives crowd, and offers a sympathetic lens to a difficult protagonist that leaves the moral rumination of the title sitting in your stomach for a good amount of time.

It won't change the minds of the visual novel repulsed, but it will offer a fascinating time for genre fans.
