Let’s talk Combat2026-09-18Hello, keepers!Good zombies are zombies that work. They work skillfully, with no days off, and for free. Bad zombies, on the other hand, are zombies that bite.

Dissecting the Art and Visuals of Graveyard Keeper 22026-07-30Hello again, Keepers.This dev diary is dedicated to fans of a particular kind of "autopsy." On the operating table today: the visuals of Graveyard Keeper 2.While we tried to preserve the spirit and art style of the original game, we couldn't resist making several major technical changes.Let's take a look at what's inside. And most importantly, what's changed? Farewell, 2D compromisesThe original Graveyard Keeper was a stylized pixel-art game. Even so, a lot of effort went into adding various technological tricks, such as dynamic shadows and volumetric lighting, which helped create a more pleasant, tactile world. That said, during the developm
The Town That Probably Exists2026-06-16Hello, Keepers!The legend of The Town is something every Graveyard Keeper has likely heard before. Some of you may have even tried to enter.

Where Zombies Feel at Home2026-05-20Hello, keepers!Every Graveyard Keeper needs a helping hand. Or two. Or twenty. Ideally, ones that don't ask for days off. In today's devlog, we're talking about your most loyal (and brainless) helpers — zombies! First appearance.Zombies were first introduced in the first DLC for the original Graveyard Keeper, once we realized there were just too many tasks to deal with at the graveyard. Our hero desperately needed helpers, and who could suit the Graveyard Keeper atmosphere better? Zombies were taught to assist keepers with various tasks, from quarrying stone to farming and alchemy. Zombies 2.0.In Graveyard Keeper 2, we decided to give zombies
