From the introduction: In Memoriam is a game about finding just the right words to say in the face of tragedy and how those words can help a person move on. When a person dies, someone has to write the obituary, the perfect summation of an entire life in just a few paragraphs. But what if the departed wants their say in how they’re remembered? In Memoriam lets the nosy Deceased have their say before heading off to the afterlife. That is, if they want to leave at all.
