It looks simple but is actually an incredibly complex game. It's terrible at explaining what you need to do to advance so you will be spending a lot of time googling for answers. But even with that it's still a very fun game if you're willing to put some time in.

Great game to prevent Alzheimer's. You keep a lot of things in the head :) And good for nerves. No rush, no pressure. And a LOT of fun :)

Dec. 2024

This is a slightly tough one to recommend. I can't deny playing it somewhat obsessively, but I don't know that I can say I have a ton of fond memories for playing it. Short of the very end of the game, when some automation starts taking off, there is just always so, so, so much that needs to be getting done at any moment. And it's not in the Stardew Valley way, where you'll get to it tomorrow. It's just always piling up, more and more to do, and some of it has to happen on certain days of the in game week, and it's just a lot to keep track of and do. It doesn't encourage healthy gameplay. The game is also very bleak. From helping burn witches, to helping neighbors do bad things to each other because they hate each other, you'll be forced into doing a lot of bad things if you want to progress the plot. Not even bad for the greater good, but just being rotten. It's not the break I was looking for from a sometimes bleak and overworked life. I hoped it would paid off, but it really didn't. But the gameplay is fairly solid, so I'm sure it's the right game for some people. Complements to the devs for making your basic tools not take up valuable inventory slots, and for using the E and F keys to "do" rather than endlessly having to switch between the right tools. The depth of the trees for upgrading what you can do is really good, and the barriers to getting to the next part of it seem really well thought out. It's a pain to work around, but one that's pushes that Fun button every time you figure out how to get the points you need. Crafting is really neat, and the ability to automate it later is a huge boon. The fact that they block you from getting too rich too fast could be annoying, but I think is a good mechanic in the end. It keeps prices from having to ascend into the millions of gold pieces to keep up with what you're bringing in. While I complain about the schedule with some people only being available once a week, it does keep the town fresh, with specific things that you can only do that day. It's a good game, with solid design and a lot of plot in it. It wasn't really for me, but I think it's worth a try.

💀 Graveyard Keeper Review 🫏 Brilliant game with an interesting story and cute pixel art—but don't let the art style fool you. This game is packed with dark humor, funny moments, and strange villagers. Not only do you spend time tending to departed lives, but you also manage your graveyard and church. There's plenty to do, from farming, crafting, and gathering materials to creating a zombie minion army. Yes, you read that right—you can get some undead help with your graveyard keeping! You can also make some rather interesting friends, like a talking skull and a donkey, if you can call it friendship. This medieval game is amazing, offering a relaxing experience despite its dark undertones. It also has several DLCs available, which, although not free, add a lot to the game. If you're on a budget and can only buy one DLC at a time, I highly recommend Stranger Sins first. In my opinion, it's the best of the DLCs, letting you learn more about the villagers' history and run a tavern, which is both fun and profitable. Good luck, Graveyard Keepers ⚒️ Tip: If you want to find more reviews like this, check out our curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41527689/]Moon's Tea House

Graveyard Keeper, a game that's less about tending to the dearly departed and more about embracing the futility of existence. You're thrust into the rotting boots of a medieval cemetery manager, tasked with the Sisyphean challenge of keeping the dead... organized. But don't let the cute pixel art fool you, this game is a digital representation of your inevitable descent into nihilism. The gameplay is a grim, relentless slog through the mundane. Plant crops, craft goods, cut down trees, and bury bodies with the same enthusiasm you'd reserve for brushing your teeth before bed - because you know tomorrow will bring more of the same. The days blur into a never-ending cycle of decay and commerce, a metaphor for the repetitive nature of life itself. As you toil away, the villagers, who are as charming as a plague-ridden rat, demand your services with the kindness of a tax collector. They're all too eager to offer you quests that feel as meaningless as the lives they lead. The dialogue is darkly humorous, but it only serves to highlight the bleakness of your existence as you juggle the morbid economy and their petty desires. The crafting system is a labyrinth of despair, with recipes that seem to mock your very existence. Combine a skull with some flowers? Sure, why not add a dash of irony to your crafting concoction. The only thing growing here is your sense of dread as you realize that no matter how many bodies you bury or how many potions you brew, you're just delaying the inevitable decay of everything around you. The game's story is a macabre tapestry of choices that lead to the same dour conclusion. It's like playing a game of chess with Death, where every move you make is met with a knowing smirk from the Grim Reaper, who's already planning his victory dance. You'll uncover secrets that make you question the very fabric of your digital being, but in the end, you're just rearranging the headstones in a graveyard that's destined to swallow you whole. In a world where the only constants are death and taxes, "Graveyard Keeper" captures the essence of an existential crisis with unsettling accuracy. It's a game that whispers sweet nothings of despair into your ear while you play, making you wonder if you're truly in control of anything at all. Or if you're just a pawn in a cosmic game of corpse Tetris. So, if you're in the mood to feel small, insignificant, and utterly consumed by the void, pick up your shovel and dive into Graveyard Keeper. Just remember, every day is a good day to dig your own grave and fucking die.
