The Story is Deeper Than It Seems
Our main character, who is trying to return to his family quickly in the game, also helps with the problems of the town located near the cemetery. While the main character is performing the task of burying the bodies, he realizes that there is a zombie in the area under the church. The character talking to the zombie also discovers necromancy spells. From this point on, the protagonist creates a working class from zombies and uses them for his benefit by employing them for minimum wage.
Graveyard Keeper has Various Gameplay Mechanics
A limited number of items and crafting options are available at the start of the game. As the game progresses, you will need new craft items. You'll need to craft new craft tools as you switch to new mines, as not every mine is crafted in every anvil. In addition to resources such as trees and mines, there are also edible resources such as mushrooms and berries that you can find in nature.
Our character has a life bar and an energy bar. You can regenerate the energy and health that feeds the character. Apart from that, the only way to renew your character's life and energy are to put your character to sleep. The game's save system is also associated with the character's sleep. The game is saved when your character sleeps.
Other NPCs and Quests
For our character to return to his family, he must use a portal with the help of other people. For this reason, we recommend that you complete the quests of all NPCs in the town located near the cemetery. In addition to these NPCs, you will also encounter NPCs located in various parts of the map. Most of them have their unique quests and stories. Completing these stories while exploring the world of the game will give you a different experience.
The Point of Graveyard Keeper
Graveyard Keeper transforms the player from an innocent human into a capitalist boss. He ignores their right by employing zombies for minimum wage. At this point, the player should realize that although he is comfortable thinking that the beings he is working with are zombies, they also have consciousness. Graveyard Keeper is a game that criticizes many factors that prevent the development of societies as well as capitalism. If you examine it as a literary work instead of just looking at it as a game, you will realize that the game has deep messages.
If you like games that require crafting and automation like Stardew Valley, you should try Graveyard Keeper. Graveyard Keeper will offer you an experience that you will not regret with its pixel graphics, repetitive sound effects, simple gameplay, complex character development and crafting system, and impressive story.
