Graveyard Keeper came out a few years before everyone started using the word "cozy" for farm sims, but it still gets brought up as a recommendation for Stardew-enjoyers looking for something new. The klaxons sounded with a Graveyard Keeper 2 announcement and now I'm trying to find out if the original is worth going back for.
Coined as a cemetery management sim, you’ve died and now you’re living in a strange medieval and mythical purgatory where you take on the role of the Graveyard Keeper while trying to figure out how to get back to the world and your love. You’ve got the usual crops to grow and fish to catch, just set in an unusual place, but you’ve also got bodies you have to autopsy and bury (or throw in the river) as well as buckets of blood to collect. If you’re thinking about giving Graveyard Keeper a try ahead of the sequel’s release, here’s the lowdown on what you can expect if you’re a farm sim fan.
