    About Graveyard Keeper

    Graveyard Keeper is the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management sim of all time. Build and manage your own graveyard, and expand into other ventures, while finding shortcuts to cut costs. Use all the resources you can find. After all, this is a game about the spirit of capitalism, and doing whatever it takes to build a thriving business. And it’s also a love story.

    - Face ethical dilemmas. Do you really want to spend money on that proper burger meat for the witch-burning festival, when you have so many resources lying around?

    - Gather valuable materials and craft new items. Expand your Graveyard into a thriving business. Help yourself -- gather the valuable resources scattered across the surrounding areas, and explore what this land has to offer.

    - Quests and corpses. These dead bodies don't need all those organs, do they? Why not grind them up and sell them to the local butcher? Or you can go on proper quests, you roleplayer.

    - Explore mysterious dungeons. No medieval game would be complete without those! Take a trip into the unknown, and find discover new alchemy ingredients -- which may or may not poison a whole bunch of nearby villagers.

    What makes my game unique?

    It's a first-of-a-kind cemetery management sim, sprinkled with some dark humor and a talking communist donkey!

    Why could my game win an award?

    It has everything one would look in a video game: great core gameplay loop, attractive pixel art, soundtrack one can listen to for hours, relatable characters and a talking donkey! It is super addictive, has high replayability, but at the same time everyone can play it at their own pace.
