Playtime: 6 hours (offline on my Steam Deck)
Extremely linear walking simulator. The pace in which you unlock new mechanics is simply boring and tedious. I don't care how much they wanna sell this as a Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley inspired game, it absolutely flops in its gameplay loop, I got bored immediately after reaching every border/edge of the map!

Game lacks very basic UI elements and instructions. This is extremely incomplete. I would not say it's ready for the market yet.

Graveyard Keeper is one of those games that hooks you in with its weird concept and doesn’t let go. Instead of running a farm or managing a town, you’re taking care of a graveyard. It sounds strange, but trust me, it’s a blast. The game’s got a great mix of dark humor and quirky charm, and once you start, it’s hard to stop.

At its core, it’s all about resource management—gathering stuff, crafting, and expanding your graveyard. You’ll also be building a church, doing side quests, and even exploring dungeons. There’s always something to keep you busy, and it feels like there’s a nice flow without things getting too overwhelming.

The story has some funny moments and a little mystery thrown in, with lots of characters and quests to tackle. The main story can feel a bit slow at times, but the side activities keep things interesting. I love the art style—it's got that creepy, gothic vibe that totally fits the game. And the soundtrack is great for setting the mood.

That said, it’s not perfect. The learning curve can be a bit tough at first, and the crafting and resource management can feel repetitive after a while. The inventory system isn’t the smoothest, either—it gets messy pretty fast. A few quality of life updates would make things a lot better.

Overall, Graveyard Keeper is a lot of fun and definitely worth checking out if you’re into quirky simulators. It’s got its flaws, but it’s still a solid pick if you’re looking for something different. Definitely recommend!
