It's hard in the industry right now for games at all levels, but especially for indies, for whom even managing to stand out can be a mountain. Gothic Stardew Valley-like Graveyard Keeper has bucked several trends in this respect, and being (temporarily) free is a central reason why, according to publisher tinyBuild.
On Twitter, Alex Nichiporchik, the CEO of tinyBuild, posts a graph demonstrating the current popularity of Graveyard Keeper. "Graveyard Keeper is currently the top39 most played game on Steam, propelling the sequel to 400k wishlists," he says, proudly showing off having over 40,000 concurrent players in the graveyard management game.
