You’re initially tasked with digging up a skull.
(Image: Jake Vander Ende / KnowTechie)Īnyway, you’re taught so many things in rapid succession, it’s a systems whirlwind that’s hard not to get completely absorbed, whatever the motivation. There’s a display glitch here where text sometimes shows up outside of its box, which I wanted to share, but was ultimately not that important because it was only some of the time and rarely affected gameplay. How can you care all that much about decorating your graveyard and improving its quality if you don’t want to be there in the first place? Still, the feeling is different and that’s good news for players who’ve played hundreds of hours of other games like this and need a change of pace. I’m torn about how I feel about that underlying motivator, because the game clearly wants you to get absorbed in its mechanics and systems, but at the same time you’re supposed to be rallying against them. It’s a major emotional difference from other games like it because the point of those other games is that you do want to leave your old life behind. That said, in Graveyard Keeper, your character does not want to leave that life behind and the whole game centers around getting back somehow – if that’s even possible. Sure, both games are about leaving the life you know behind to live a new life elsewhere, which is the metagame of what you the player are doing when you get into the routine here. The obvious comparison here is Stardew Valley, with which this game shares a lot of design DNA, but that motivator makes things fundamentally different Side note: If this game actually just ended right there and was a $19.99 PSA about not texting while crossing the street, holy shit that would be some incredible avant-garde ART. The game opens with a brief cinematic where you profess your enjoyment for a modest, simple life shared with someone you love, only to get hit by a car while you’re texting. Graveyard Keeperis devilishly designed and it’s one of those games where tugging at one mechanic leads to two more. It’s a strangely lovely, oddly beautiful game, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, and here’s how that went. Tasked with maintaining the grounds, handling the dead bodies, leading sermons in the church, and more, all you’re really trying to do is get back to your wife from before the car accident. It’s a game that starts off with you dying, only to wake up and find that you’re the newly appointed keeper of the graveyard in a medieval-era town that may or may not actually be purgatory.
And another sorry for any language mistakes, English is not my native tongue.The first time I sat down with Graveyard Keeper (developed by Lazy Bear Games and published by tinyBuild), two hours just plain disappeared. I, also, must sincerely thank Dsurian for his research on church rating values in my previous post, sorry for deletion. I really do appreciate your interest, corrections, questions on my layouts. I must apologize to people who lost their comments and upvotes and wasted silver on my previous post, but I'm not sure that information doubling is ethical. You may propose this post to be pinned or something, so it won't be buried down under other people's questions. I'll revize the tables if there will be any layout changes in future updates. The only important addition aside of craft was Ms. I've, actually, finalized all the layout tables with adding two extreme church rate layouts, counting total build and maintain materials for final states, testing accessibility and gameplay use of various placements, fixing many stupid mistakes, etc.
