So i must caveat this review by saying I absolutely - and had to for my own sanity - add some mods. In general I thoroughly enjoyed the game, the macabre farming was pretty fun, the characters were cute and an army of automated zombie slaves was epic. I even enjoyed the day "system" which for me having a colour coded calendar like system was super helpful rather than trying to remember on "Mondays" or the "first day of the month" even if it was a massive pain in the butt if you missed it. But 10 hours in, what I could absolutely could not stand was walking at snails pace, teleport cooldowns and the most ridic inventory limitations when you've got to walk from one side of the map to the other to pick up/ drop off the one item you almost definitely forgot. So I got: A sprint mod No teleport cool down Bigger inventory ..and a fishing mod - coz that shit was annoying af too. I would still say start the game at the intended pace, but when its so painful you could harvest your own organs on an anatomy table... check out some mods for your own sanity :-)

This game is a good game to relax to because it dosent move forward unless you do the quest, there is no festival thats on a timer no calendar just nice relaxing gravekeeping.

It looks simple but is actually an incredibly complex game. It's terrible at explaining what you need to do to advance so you will be spending a lot of time googling for answers. But even with that it's still a very fun game if you're willing to put some time in.

This is a slightly tough one to recommend. I can't deny playing it somewhat obsessively, but I don't know that I can say I have a ton of fond memories for playing it. Short of the very end of the game, when some automation starts taking off, there is just always so, so, so much that needs to be getting done at any moment. And it's not in the Stardew Valley way, where you'll get to it tomorrow. It's just always piling up, more and more to do, and some of it has to happen on certain days of the in game week, and it's just a lot to keep track of and do. It doesn't encourage healthy gameplay. The game is also very bleak. From helping burn witches, to helping neighbors do bad things to each other because they hate each other, you'll be forced into doing a lot of bad things if you want to progress the plot. Not even bad for the greater good, but just being rotten. It's not the break I was looking for from a sometimes bleak and overworked life. I hoped it would paid off, but it really didn't. But the gameplay is fairly solid, so I'm sure it's the right game for some people. Complements to the devs for making your basic tools not take up valuable inventory slots, and for using the E and F keys to "do" rather than endlessly having to switch between the right tools. The depth of the trees for upgrading what you can do is really good, and the barriers to getting to the next part of it seem really well thought out. It's a pain to work around, but one that's pushes that Fun button every time you figure out how to get the points you need. Crafting is really neat, and the ability to automate it later is a huge boon. The fact that they block you from getting too rich too fast could be annoying, but I think is a good mechanic in the end. It keeps prices from having to ascend into the millions of gold pieces to keep up with what you're bringing in. While I complain about the schedule with some people only being available once a week, it does keep the town fresh, with specific things that you can only do that day. It's a good game, with solid design and a lot of plot in it. It wasn't really for me, but I think it's worth a try.

Graveyard Keeper, a game that's less about tending to the dearly departed and more about embracing the futility of existence. You're thrust into the rotting boots of a medieval cemetery manager, tasked with the Sisyphean challenge of keeping the dead... organized. But don't let the cute pixel art fool you, this game is a digital representation of your inevitable descent into nihilism. The gameplay is a grim, relentless slog through the mundane. Plant crops, craft goods, cut down trees, and bury bodies with the same enthusiasm you'd reserve for brushing your teeth before bed - because you know tomorrow will bring more of the same. The days blur into a never-ending cycle of decay and commerce, a metaphor for the repetitive nature of life itself. As you toil away, the villagers, who are as charming as a plague-ridden rat, demand your services with the kindness of a tax collector. They're all too eager to offer you quests that feel as meaningless as the lives they lead. The dialogue is darkly humorous, but it only serves to highlight the bleakness of your existence as you juggle the morbid economy and their petty desires. The crafting system is a labyrinth of despair, with recipes that seem to mock your very existence. Combine a skull with some flowers? Sure, why not add a dash of irony to your crafting concoction. The only thing growing here is your sense of dread as you realize that no matter how many bodies you bury or how many potions you brew, you're just delaying the inevitable decay of everything around you. The game's story is a macabre tapestry of choices that lead to the same dour conclusion. It's like playing a game of chess with Death, where every move you make is met with a knowing smirk from the Grim Reaper, who's already planning his victory dance. You'll uncover secrets that make you question the very fabric of your digital being, but in the end, you're just rearranging the headstones in a graveyard that's destined to swallow you whole. In a world where the only constants are death and taxes, "Graveyard Keeper" captures the essence of an existential crisis with unsettling accuracy. It's a game that whispers sweet nothings of despair into your ear while you play, making you wonder if you're truly in control of anything at all. Or if you're just a pawn in a cosmic game of corpse Tetris. So, if you're in the mood to feel small, insignificant, and utterly consumed by the void, pick up your shovel and dive into Graveyard Keeper. Just remember, every day is a good day to dig your own grave and fucking die.
