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

Gather valuable resources & craft new items. Expand your Graveyard into a thriving business, go ahead and gather valuable resources scattered in the surrounding areas, and explore what this land has to offer.

Make business alliances. These dead bodies don't need all that blood, do they? Why not sell it to someone who can put it to good use. Same for body parts. Hey, it's being efficient with recycling!

Explore mysterious dungeons. No medieval game would be complete without these. Take a trip into the unknown and find useful new ingredients which may or may not poison a whole bunch of nearby villagers. Capitalism.

Yes, it's basically Stardew Valley with a graveyard.

It certainly has that look, MM. Are you going to be trying it out?

Think I'll have to give this a try :lol:

The last 2 days I've played it until 5am, it's got it's hooks into me. Very rare for me.

Looks like an interesting premise. How similar is this to Stardew Valley? Because that game bored the piss out of me.

It's very similar to SV, sounds like should only check this out if you can get it for free.

I had a quick play on this and it looked lovely when fullscreen on my new TV. I booted up Stardew Valley but it didn't look quite as pretty. Both are using a pixel art style but it seems Stardew Valley could be an 8-bit game on SNES and Graveyard Keeper has a more detailed style, probably more pixels more akin to a 16-bit Amiga game.

Very pretty looking game, I will await the inevitable £40 Switch port.

Does not compute.

My mistake! SNES is a 16bit console. But I meant that the graphics of Stardew Valley look a pixel-art generation behind Graveyard Keeper. I'm not saying that as a negative just an observation that they look like they're from different eras.

Played the start of this on PC, seems great and I look forward to playing more of it when I have some time. Unfrotunately I didnt realise there was no autosave so my progress was lost, but all I had done was go to the village so its not like I lost a lot.

The game has just been rated by PEGI for Switch :lol:
