The Creators of Morbid Curiosity
The game is the creation of artist and grief therapist Kimberley Mead and her husband and punk rocker/historian James Young. They spent over 2 years testing and refining the idea and launched their Kickstarter in August 2016. They are proud to say that it funded in less than 60 hours and is now sold in over 12 stores including the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, and the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston.
More About Kimberley
Kimberley was raised by eccentric parents who frequently traveled abroad, collected rare books and randomly took her to cemeteries for picnics. She works as a grief therapist in Austin, Texas and is an accomplished photographer and graphic designer. This strange and curious project is her brainchild.
More About James
James has a deep background in theatre, a masters in History, and is the front man for the Austin based Irish punk band Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. He’s got a wicked sense of humor and a brilliant brain. Most of the multiple choice answers were thought up by him; so blame him when all the answers seem likely.
Our Illustrator Prem Krishnan
Prem is a Seattle-based mixed-medium artist, whose work always transmits a spiritual aspect. He created the game’s iconic Death's Head Moth motif and the Skull illustration for the upcoming Mortician’s Deck. He’s worked in the gaming industry for over two decades as an artist, creative director, and project manager.
