$4.99 (−75%)Graveyard Keeper The Morbidly Efficient Cemetery Business
Run a medieval graveyard as a business, and cut every corner you can. You bury bodies, strip them for parts to sell, craft goods, preach weekly sermons for cash and faith, and branch out into farming, brewing and alchemy. Dark, funny and deliberately shameless about profit.

A cemetery run like a startup
You take over a run-down graveyard and turn it into something that pays. You bury the corpses that arrive, raise the yard's quality with better graves and fences, and open the church for weekly sermons that bring in money and faith.
Then you widen the operation. You gather wood, stone and farm goods, craft items at workbenches, sell meat and ground-up organs to the local butcher, and supply a burger and beer stand at the witch-burning festival. You decide where to save and where to spend, and whether the cheap option is worth it. It is management with a straight face and dirty hands.
Quests, dungeons and undead staff
Work comes from the villagers around you, each with requests that chain into other requests. You talk to the talking skull who follows you around, run errands for the inquisitor and the cultists, and head into dungeons for alchemy ingredients that can go very wrong for the neighbors.
Later you can put zombie helpers to work on the farm and on wine or beer production, which takes the edge off the routine. There is no hard deadline on quests, so you can pause corpse deliveries and spend a week farming, crafting or preaching instead. The pixel art is detailed and moody, and the dark jokes keep coming.
How does the business side work?
Do you actually manage the graveyard?
Yes. You bury corpses, improve graves and decoration to raise graveyard quality, and hold sermons once a week for faith and donations.
How do you make money besides burials?
You gather resources, craft goods, farm and brew, sell organs and meat to the butcher, and expand into side ventures like the festival food stand. Alchemy ingredients from the dungeons feed into that too, if the villagers survive them.
Is there any pressure to finish things on time?
No. Events run on a weekly cycle and quests wait for you, so missing a church day or an NPC just means waiting for the next one. That suits players who like to finish one production chain at a time rather than juggle everything at once.
