Graveyard Keeper Tavern
Graveyard Keeper is a graveyard-themed simulationrole-playing video game developed by Lazy Bear Games and published by tinyBuild. The game's alpha version was released for Microsoft Windows in May 2018,[1] followed by the regular release for Windows and Xbox One later that year.[2] Versions for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 were released on June 27, 2019. It was released in Japan on February 6, 2020.[3] Its soundtrack was created by Hamza el Hamri.
Story[edit]
The player takes the role of a person hit by a car and awakes to find himself in an unfamiliar world with medieval fantasy setting where he is tasked to take care of the local cemetery and church. Determined to return home and reunite with his lover, the graveyard keeper interacts with the locals while helping with their problems. Eventually, the keeper learns of a portal that can be used to get back home, but needs some special magic items to make it work, which are in possession of some of the village's most influential characters. After earning their trust and obtaining the items, the keeper bids farewell to his friends but instead of returning him home, the portal brings his lover to his side instead. Extra DLC content reveals that the keeper can't return home because he (just like his predecessors) has the sacred task of act as an intermediate between the village's inhabitants and the afterlife.
Gameplay[edit]
Graveyard Keeper is a graveyard-keeping simulation game inspired by Stardew Valley and based on Harvest Moon.[4] At the start of the game, the player becomes the recipient of a plot of land including a small graveyard once owned by his predecessor near a small town. The cemetery plot is initially overrun with boulders, trees, stumps, and weeds, and the player must work to clear them in order to restart its operation, tending to graves and even the church so as to generate revenue and bring donations to church coffers. Your ultimate goal is to get your character to open a portal back to his old world. To that end, you need information and help from various NPCs, whom you will be trying to please them, or do their quests. Such quests usually involves gameplay elements like bringing them some crafted or collectable items like oil, honey etc. More gameplay elements and areas slowly unlock throughout the game as you unlock new technologies. The skill tree in this game is called a Technology Tree, and you unlock new technologies to progress in the game. Beyond the early game, Graveyard Keeper requires you to have three different types of experience points: Red, Blue, and Green to unlock most of the technologies. Other than tending to graves and clearing out environmental elements, the game also has farming, smithing, rudimentary combat, multi-level dungeon, fishing, and an extensive crafting system.
DLC[edit]
The DLC for Graveyard Keeper, 'Breaking Dead' was announced in 2018 free for owners of the base game. A resurrection table is added to your morgue, and you can reanimate corpses and set them to work on any of the many ongoing tasks that fuel your enterprise, from gathering stone and wood, to crafting items and writing books, as well as taking care of your garden and hauling merchandise to market. With enough zombies of high enough quality, it becomes possible to automate your entire supply chain, leaving you free to focus on progressing through the main storyline.[5][6]
A second, paid DLC called 'Stranger Sins' was released on October 28, 2019 (just in time for Halloween), which delves further into the game's lore and characters. It introduces a new Tavern for you to manage by producing and selling food and drink in large quantities at excellent prices, and an entirely new quest-chain which adds personalities to many of the previously-silent villagers. It also adds a new ending for completing the main game after finishing the DLC questline.[7][8]
A third, paid DLC called 'Game of Crone' was released in October 27, 2020 with aditional story content. It features a camp of refugees from the Inquisition the player must help to develop while investigating the mystery of a vampire terrorizing the villagers. It also includes a side-quest involving the donkey that brings the corpses enlisting the player's help on his plan to start a communist revolution.

When I first reviewed Graveyard Keeper last year, I was a big fan of the unique Stardew Valley meets Project Highrise style of the game. Since then, updates, a free DLC adding farm and alchemy automation, and a regular stream of tweaks and bug fixes has kept me coming back to it regularly. The recently released Stranger Sins DLC is another string to the bow of a game that has come on nicely since its original release.
The main bulk of the content here is a new quest-line that takes you around the village learning a bit more about the inhabitants. There's especially a lot more to learn about Gerry, which is nice as he was largely just comic relief initially, so it’s good to see him become more of a character. There’s also a fair few new roles for characters that previously had little to no involvement in the game. There were a few NPCs previously who just stood there like stuffed lemons with no real purpose, most of those characters now actually have something to do.
And it’s not just NPCs, as you’ll have something new to do now. Not content with being graveyard keeper, farmer, and local pastor all at the same time, our protagonist can now add barkeep to the list of his talents. It’s unclear what the existing tavern owner thinks about this, especially as he was the one keeping you in coin in the early game, but nonetheless, you’ll need him much less as you work your way through the DLC content.
Running a bar amounts to selling all the beer and wine that you are probably already making with the autonomous zombie farms that we got in the last expansion. If you’re not already doing that, then it’s worth investing in, especially as that DLC was free. If you are struggling for money, it’s a great source. There are events that you can host (kind of like Stardew Valley’s festivals) which allow even more sales to be made. It adds a really good source of income, although if you were already rolling in the cash after a silly amount of playtime like I was, then it’s more likely it’ll just be fun to get all the villagers drunk.
As before, there’s a reasonable amount of grinding needed, but that’s to be expected in what is essentially a crafting game. With a quirky story unravelling as you go, it’s relatively pleasant as grinds go. This isn’t one of those games that artificially lengthens itself with grind in lieu of content.
I was hoping that maybe we’d be able to visit the town finally with this add-on, but sadly it’s still out of bounds. It is mentioned a bit in the new content so maybe it’s the potential source of a future DLC? Who knows, but it’s a shame there’s still hinting at an area we may never actually see over a year after release.
With about eight hours of extra content, the seven pounds this content retails for is pretty good value I feel. It’s not going to make anybody who didn’t already like the game go out and buy it, but it adds to what was already a pretty addictive game. In short, it’s the kind of thing that you’ll like if you like this kind of thing.
