Graveyard Keeper

Start Graveyard Keeper and run your own creepy cemetery—craft, manage, and turn a rundown graveyard into a strangely successful business full of secrets.

Overview

Graveyard Keeper is a darkly funny management sim where you play as a medieval graveyard keeper. Developed by Lazy Bear Games, it mixes resource management, crafting, exploration, and storytelling into a unique and slightly twisted experience.

What starts as a simple job—taking care of graves—quickly becomes much more complicated. You’ll craft coffins, handle corpses, grow your business, and uncover strange secrets along the way. Just when things feel calm, the game throws in odd characters, questionable choices, and even some undead surprises.

What You Actually Do

At its core, the game is about turning a neglected cemetery into a thriving operation. Your main goals include:

Improving the quality of your graveyard
Handling corpses efficiently (and sometimes creatively)
Crafting items like coffins, gravestones, and wreaths
Expanding your business through trade, religion, and new technologies

You’ll gather resources like wood and stone, craft better tools, and unlock new systems as you progress. Over time, you’ll get better at managing the “business of death,” balancing profit, efficiency, and your own moral choices.
