Stardew Valley’s morbid cousin is getting a sequel—and the original graveyard manager is free

Graveyard Keeper, a not-so-cozy pixel art management simulator, is now entirely free on Steam, but for a limited time. This comes amid Graveyard Keeper 2's announcement, with the original's price slashed to zero to celebrate this upcoming indie title.

Often compared to Stardew Valley in style and gameplay, Graveyard Keeper is a much more hardcore and morbid experience that puts you in the shoes of, you've guessed it, a graveyard manager keeping tabs on a medieval cemetery. The game features some of the best pixel graphics I've ever seen, with shading and textures that pop out more than some traditionally rendered titles of today. The water effects are so satisfying that I'd almost stoop into my screen to try and drink it. It's just so alluring.
