The current line-up of games available via PS Plus Extra is growing, and sure enough, they’ve introduced one indie simulation title that has sat in my backlog of games to play for quite a while: Graveyard Keeper.
Now, if you’re familiar with old-school Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, and other pixelated 2D sims like them, Graveyard Keeper may not be news to you. It takes the farming simulation formula and instead transports you to a dark and morbid town in which you, and unnamed man wishing to be reunited with his love, must become the Graveyard Keeper.
I was promised (by both friends and strangers on Reddit) that the game would fill the Stardew Valley shaped hole in my heart, albeit with many dark twists and turns. I should’ve listened to the recommendation much sooner as someone who loves to mindlessly grind in Stardew Valley, but is also a fan of anything horrific and macabre. I finally took on my role as the Graveyard Keeper, and found that the title intertwines the two wonderfully, and it’s been incredibly charming, to say the least.
