Graveyard Keeper in IOS

Medieval Graveyard Management

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

85/100

Graveyard Keeper is effectively 'Stardew Valley for goths,' and it is glorious. It’s a hilariously dark management sim where you juggle the ethics of medieval organ harvesting with the mundane tasks of farming and building. The writing is sharp, cynical, and genuinely funny, often poking fun at the tropes of the genre.

The tech tree is massive, and there is always something to do—whether it's improving the quality of your cemetery to satisfy the local Bishop or exploring the dungeon for rare resources. It’s a very complex game with many interlocking systems, so it might be overwhelming at first, but once you find your rhythm, it’s incredibly engrossing. It's the most unethical business simulator you'll ever love.

Graveyard Keeper is the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management sim of all time. Build and manage your own graveyard, and expand into other ventures, while finding shortcuts to cut costs. Use all the resources you can find. After all, this is a game about the spirit of capitalism, and doing whatever it takes to build a thriving business. And it’s also a love story.

- Face ethical dilemmas. Do you really want to spend money on that proper burger meat for the witch-burning festival, when you have so many resources lying around?

- Gather valuable materials and craft new items. Expand your Graveyard into a thriving business. Help yourself -- gather the valuable resources scattered across the surrounding areas, and explore what this land has to offer.

- Quests and corpses. These dead bodies don't need all those organs, do they? Why not grind them up and sell them to the local butcher? Or you can go on proper quests, you roleplayer.

- Explore mysterious dungeons. No medieval game would be complete without those! Take a trip into the unknown, and find discover new alchemy ingredients -- which may or may not poison a whole bunch of nearby villagers.


Requires iOS 8.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Graveyard Keeper is a dark-humored medieval management sim. You are a 'Graveyard Keeper' tasked with maintaining a cemetery in a strange land. Face ethical dilemmas and make questionable decisions as you gather resources, craft items, and expand your graveyard. Explore dungeons, engage in alchemy, and perhaps even sell a bit of 'mystery meat' to the local village to make ends meet.
