The short game was created using RPG Maker 2003, and centers around a boy named Phillip, who leaves home to save his world from a mysterious corruption.

Space Funeral is notable for its parodies of the horror and role-playing game genres, its crude art style, and frequent use of blood in dialogue, graphics, and thematics.

Space Funeral begins with Phillip, a perpetually crying pajama-clad purple boy, seeing a wizard in Scum Vullage [sic] who tells him that his world has been "corrupted" and it does not have long left.

On the way to this city, the player stumbles upon Leg Horse's former home, prompting him to reveal to Phillip that he was once "Prince Horace", the ruler of the game's world prior to the "Great Change".

"[3] Space Funeral was stated in the same interview to have been largely inspired by the video games Bat Castle and Monster Party.

[3] Space Funeral received positive critical reviews, citing the game's unusual art style, music, and setting.

[1] Quintin Smith of Rock, Paper, Shotgun described the game as "Final Fantasy directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky", calling the art "disturbed" and the music "awesome".
