PS4, PS5: Get Graveyard Keeper FREE on Steam – A Stardew Valley Inspired Gem!

Graveyard Keeper: FREE on Steam! A Darkly Charming Simulator

Looking for a unique gaming experience? For a limited time, Graveyard Keeper is completely free to download on Steam! This isn’t your typical farming simulator; prepare to manage a medieval graveyard, deal with… well, the deceased, and build a thriving (and slightly morbid) business.

What is Graveyard Keeper?

Graveyard Keeper puts you in the shoes of the sole caretaker of a medieval graveyard. It’s a challenging but rewarding experience, blending resource management, crafting, and a healthy dose of dark humor. Expect a bit of creepiness, a lot of weirdness, and a surprisingly engaging gameplay loop. You can snag this free copy on Steam until April 13th.

The game runs exceptionally well on the Steam Deck, boasts a wealth of downloadable content (DLC), and supports a vibrant modding community, allowing you to customize your graveyard experience to your heart’s content.

Inspired by Stardew Valley

Released in 2018, two years after the phenomenal success of Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper openly acknowledges its inspiration. The developers have confirmed that Stardew Valley and the Harvest Moon series were significant influences. However, Graveyard Keeper carves its own niche, offering a robust and uniquely inaccurate pixelated simulation of medieval cemetery management. It’s arguably one of the best games to emerge from the wave of Stardew Valley-inspired titles.

Graveyard Keeper 2 Announced!

Just recently, at the Triple-I indie showcase on April 9th, a sequel – Graveyard Keeper 2 – was announced! Check out the trailer here (example link – replace with actual trailer link). While the sequel won’t be free upon release, it’s slated to launch later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC.
