Graveyard Keeper, developed by Lazy Bear Games, is a cemetery management simulation where you build and control your graveyard while navigating the spirit of capitalism. The game's strongest differentiator is its unique blend of dark humor and economic strategy, such as using resources creatively in events like the witch-burning festival. Players face ethical dilemmas and make questionable decisions to grow their business, transforming the graveyard into a thriving enterprise.

Cemetery Management and Resource Gathering

In Graveyard Keeper, players manage their cemetery while gathering resources from the surrounding areas. Collect materials to craft new items and expand your operations. The game encourages creative problem-solving—such as using unconventional sources for festival supplies—to optimize costs and maximize profits in your medieval business venture.

Ethical Dilemmas and Dark Humor

The game presents ethical challenges, urging players to consider their choices in crafting a successful business. You may choose to repurpose organs from corpses for profit or explore quests to gather rare ingredients. These decisions are woven into the gameplay, offering a unique blend of moral choices and dark humor that sets Graveyard Keeper apart.

Dungeon Exploration and Alchemy

Beyond graveyard management, players can explore mysterious dungeons to discover alchemy ingredients. These dungeons add depth to the gameplay, offering opportunities to find materials that might affect nearby villagers. This exploration aspect complements the economic strategy, providing a fuller experience as you balance resource gathering with potential risks.
