To celebrate the announcement of Graveyard Keeper 2, the developers are offering the original game for free on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and Xbox until April 13.
Since its debut in 2018, the first Graveyard Keeper has sold millions of copies by blending cemetery management with retro aesthetics and life-sim mechanics. Now, eight years later, the sequel aims to drastically expand that foundation.
Graveyard Keeper 2 moves beyond simple cemetery management. Instead of just tending to graves, the player takes command of a small town besieged by a zombie invasion.
The ability to use reanimated corpses to automate repetitive tasks, a fan-favorite feature from the original, returns with much greater complexity.
Launched in 2018, the original Graveyard Keeper set itself apart from other simulators with its dark tone and acidic humor. Players often faced a slow start until unlocking the ability to reanimate zombies for mining, logging, and transport.
The title is known for offering minimal tutorial guidance, making community wikis a common resource for new players. Despite the steep learning curve, its unique “cozy-yet-macabre” theme established it as a reference point in the genre.
