Graveyard Keeper

After arriving in a medieval fantasy world, the player is tasked with keeping its graveyard and seeks a way back home to a loved one. The work includes receiving bodies, preparing them for burial, and improving the cemetery.

Beyond gravekeeping, players can farm, gather and mine resources, craft goods, trade, and explore a dungeon. The game’s dark humor runs through tasks such as dissecting corpses and finding uses for their parts.

A technology tree unlocks recipes and activities, while quests from villagers advance character relationships and the story. Upgrading the graveyard and church supports progression, and many crafting chains require materials and discoveries from other systems.

Players who enjoy Graveyard Keeper often praise its darkly comic graveyard premise and the satisfying, sprawling loop of gathering, crafting, upgrading, and taking on new activities. Some also highlight its memorable characters and atmosphere. Others find that the many linked crafting steps become repetitive, and that unclear instructions and slow travel make progress frustrating.
