Graveyard Keeper: zombies, farming, and "mystery" meat

[@k4gi]

i really like Graveyard Keeper, even though it's unnecessarily grindy and messes you around with fetch quests a lot. it's more relaxing than Stardew since there's no time pressure i have one of the DLCs, "Stranger Sins", it gives you a lot of cool backstory. and another way to make money

[@midwest_loner]

I agree with the grindy part!! The more I play it, the more it gets ridiculous (although I do still like the game). It makes you do legit 15 things before you can do the one original thing you intended, and by the time I’m done with half of those things, I forget what I was ever working towards lol

[@deo6797]

@@midwest_loner Yeah, that's what I do to. I was excited to play it so I spent like...way too much time on it the first couple of days and it burnt me out hardcore. I like your septum btw.

[@justaperson4656]

I bought it and all the dlcs on sale when it first made it to the switch, and oh my god the donkey becoming a communist took me FOREVER to figure out. I'm not sure which dlc it comes from, but constantly feeding it carrots is kind of annoying ngl EDIT: OH MY GOD I DIDN'T REALISE THAT WAS BASE GAME Game of crones is fun though, gives us swamp witch lore

[@Saylor28]

I couldn't figure out the seed oil for the donkey and got frustrated. Then Tears of the Kingdom came out and I totally forgot about the game. I'm glad I got to see the ending though here.

[@kenetic420]

you can buy oil from the hippie that teaches you the Cake recipe. he's in the woods between the blacksmith and the Lighthouse

[@kalekaela]

Thank you for giving this game more attention! I played it entirely with all DLCs and I absolutely loved it. Criminally underrated.

[@koqiri]

Something I'd recommend for late game is the stone garden. You can meditate to pass time a lot faster than sleeping, but you gain energy slower and it won't save like sleeping, but you continue to meditate and pass time even if you're fully restored. It makes that whole "time to wait a week at a time" part of the game a bit more streamlined if you don't want to just do farming or cooking. The DLCs also would probably fill in the waiting periods nicely but a lot of them came out after I finished the main game so I was able to do them really fast but they're really charming and I would recommend them (especially the tavern one) if you like the base game!

[@euchrideucr0w]

The grriiiinnnddd though. This game has hands down the biggest gap between "knowing what I must do" and "actually doing it" that I've ever played. Like you want thing A and then you grind out thing A and thing A does literally what you expected thing A to do like you knew it would. Then onto thing B and so on. I didn't get the same sense of cascading joy that achieving things in, say, Stardew despite them being pretty much identical. The main difference being the sheer grind to get there. The only defense is that it's "not that bad" but it's still bad. I really regret my time with graveyard keeper despite it seemingly being up several of my alleys. If you don't like repetition and waiting (like there's a guy who visits on Tuesday and you missed him so wait it out till next Tuesday type shit) this game is not remotely for you. I don't even remember half of what I did, aside from dragging logs and incrementally wasting less of a body. There's something to be said for nested systems within systems within systems but this version of that is particularly frustrating for me.

[@davethescrub858]

It's like runescape and stardew had a baby and made it about bodies lol

[@ThatOneGuyDudeThingy]

Every single quest & plot detail is almost excruciatingly frustrating lol. Listening to you explain what you did felt like I was actually going insane 😅 great video as always!

[@lissthelass]

Do u think it was too much? I felt the plot was a little all over the place lol should I be more brief next time? Thx for watching :)

[@ThatOneGuyDudeThingy]

@lissthelass No no, I thought it was great to hear your experience! I know lots of people like this game, but I found it to be very tedious. I was considering going back to play it one day, but watching this made me glad I didn't. It seemed like you still enjoyed it more than I did, but I did feel vindicated hearing you talk about how random all the game logic was. Thank you for being so thorough!

[@bettybeee]

I absolutely love this game! Found it a few years ago and play a bit more of it every autumn. REALLY hits the spookey wierd black humour buttons.

[@salviador]

Yesss!! This game has been on my wishlist for awhile. So glad to see a video from you about it 😄

[@supernova1646]

I unironically LOVE Graveyard Keeper. Its such an adult Stardew valley.

[@WereWereingtonTheThird]

You are so brave for keeping up with the sheer tedium of this game! I couldn't imagine it. I am actually someone who's only recently getting into farming sims as a genre (beyond being an Animal Crossing enjoyer who never sticks it out past the 3 month point lol), so I really appreciate all of your videos about various games and series. Very well put together content!

[@digifreak90]

As a note, for the sermons, Graveyard quality affects donations, Church quality affects faith. (Also, the Combo Prayer is really good as it combines the effects of the faith prayer and money prayer, though it is more difficult to create as a result.)

[@WilliamSlyMako_K]

I have a new spirit animal in that skull lol. Also: Waking up to a ghost next to your bed? Must be a Tuesday.

[@StrangePan]

I enjoyed the game at first, but halfway through it became so grindy and tedious that I resented it. I’m glad you felt the same painful grind I did; it kinda vindicates my own opinions. Happy Halloween!

[@zomgkb]

Mods are a must for this game. The grind was to much for me

[@mr.waffles8739]

This is a pretty fun game, but yeah towards the end you're just ganna sit around waiting for the right day to talk to someone, I'm assuming I just missed something, but I found it so hard to get the blue points, so I spent a lot of time just waiting for the weeks to pass so I could buy the astrologers books to get the blue points and finish

Have you played Dave the Diver, technically not a farming sim, but I think you would really enjoy it !!!

[@redleafcrossing]

I’m yet to play this game looks so super good ❤

[@darkovikaplayssimgames]

Oh man, if you want something with those creepy vibes but isn't straight horror, PLEASE check out a farming game called Gleaner Heights. If you've ever seen an old TV show called Twin Peaks, Gleaner Heights is basically Twin Peaks if it were a video game with farming. WARNING: It's got some dark, adult themes. Not like gore- I think, I still haven't completed it- but yeah. I love it so much.

[@yanathegamer1298]

Love this game!!!!

[@AnneEliseMorrigan]

Thanks. This is what I needed after working on Halloween night!

I wanted to like this game when I bought it on sale a while back but having to wait a week for an NPC to show up is so annoying. I stopped playing and never finished it.

[@ARBUZIK.dudkin]

I don’t think the meat is mysterious. We all know where it comes from…

[@NovaTheAngel]

I really don't understand why I'm watching this channel. It sounds weird to say but all she does is play and talk. But not in a good way. It's so obvious she's reading from a script cause she's so robotic while talking and when she plays it jumps from progress to progress. There is no gameplay of watching her figuring things out. When we don't get to see those things we don't get to "feel" it either. It's like a book report reading in school. Boring. So why am I watching? I seriously don't know. But I'm feeling that I'm most likely not going to continue to do so soon enough.

[@lissthelass]

Sorry you feel that way. I understand where you’re coming from and it’s something I have been trying to work on. With certain games, the scripted let’s play style translates really well, but for others it doesn’t. And sometimes I will look back at a video where I could have made it more stylized and wish I had done a better job making it more entertaining for the viewer. But lots of people don’t like videos where 40+ hours of gameplay is condensed to one hour, they prefer a more traditional let’s play, like yourself. Thanks for the feedback

Graveyard keeper is such a cute game but I really can’t get over how the game just refuses to tell you how to make things or find anything after the tutorial

[@MrDylpickle27]

Seriously… I spent like 20 minutes finding a “carpenter crafting station” I eventually just gave up lol

[@bettybeee]

I am in the minority I think, but I love that it doesn't tell you much. Much prefer experimenting and figuring things out. Also there is a wiki if you get really stuck.

[@bigjalopy]

I'm so glad you found this game. When I discovered this I was OBSESSED with it!

[@krissgopher4129]

I adored this game until the grind hit. Took a lot of motivation man but this game is so unique i love it

[@leovermeer8080]

I played this game a long time ago. I absolutely LOVED IT! I got every achievement, finished the whole game. The ending was so sudden, I thought my game crashed! I want more of this game!! Unfortunately, it seems that the devs have moved on to other projects

[@ilikecheese1415]

when i first played this game i hated the grind, having to wait a whole week to finish a mission was bad enough but also having to rely on a wiki so much for almost every aspect was really frustrating. i tried to do my first playthrough blind but i felt most of the mechanics were poorly explained or need to much try and error (like the potions and zombie making). its a shame i feel there is a really good game under all the filler

[@PeachesHoneyBun]

i had the same experience! the grind sucked all the fun from the game that i ended up just giving up and searching for the ending to see what would happen, turns out i dodged a bullet lmao

[@ble3323]

I can't believe Liss played this game! And in a one hour video? Perfect treat for this Halloween

[@PsiKnight]

Loved this gem of a game. It does have it's downs and issues, but it's got a nice little core. I'd say the DLC can be worth it if you can get them either on sale or bundled sale. Adds some important lore and backstory. Dunno if you play Early Access games, but Traveller's Rest is a fun game I'd recommend that's in the same vein of games, just as an Tavern/Inn keeper.

[@spiderlily723]

Unfortunate Infommertinal: the developers are borderline scammers. They abandoned closed alpha, released bugged and barely playable mess as full game (I would bet they run out of money to finish development). That's awful even when you don't mention them mocking players and giving them a middle finger trough forcing them to waste resources for nothing more than 'lol wait for DLC and shill out more cash' joke. After which they locked most of the story and the actual ending behind paid DLCs.

[@lissthelass]

Had no idea, thx for commenting! I thought the vanilla game was pretty complete but I will look into it. Sure there’s a lot of unnecessary bloat but I thought overall the story was alright. I’ll definitely be looking into this tysm

[@spiderlily723]

@@lissthelass Right now and with DLCs the game is honestly really good! Though iff you think it's bloated/grindy now let me just tell you the zombies were not there at all at the start. You did everything by HAND. xD I just don't think I can trust the developer with any new games (especially since the full DLC ending and what I know from closed alpha very clearly suggest we only ever got half a game).

u may not know this, but ur timing is incredible, thank you

[@StarlasAiko]

Never research any items in the church basement without first eating cake (you get the recipe from the bum). Try to unlock Cremation as fast as you can, so you can still gain burrial certificates from corpses unworthy for burrial. You don't need to dig out the corpse that Yorik takes issue with, instead dig up the worst corpse (the one with the most red skulls and/or least white skulls). Get the DLC...awesome additional content, additional background story, additional ways to make money, additional technologies to unlock.

[@Caty0Caty]

The best way to know this game is your gameplay, TYSM ❤

[@ChaoticNeutralDude]

its a little sad you did the first play without the dlc, they do a decent job at filling out the holes you noticed, giving more and better money paths and adding stuff to do between quest days.

[@edinwrites]

I adore this game and yes get the DLC!!! The refugee camp and the tarvern add so much to do while you're waiting on other quests and add a ton to the story!

[@Luk317]

I love this game but there’s just soooo much to do all at the same time.

[@OriginalMaRul]

I love the DLCs and the game. Most of the DLC is just lore and other things you can do. Each one is good if you want to do a run alone to really get the feel of each DLC they all have story but I have played them from the start with all on and its okay.

[@chaosordeal294]

I may have sunk more hours into this game than any other. The ratio recipe of chores to decisions to overcoming obstacles is perfectly tooth-achingly sweet for me, and the theme isn't uber dark, but it isn't kindie gartner fluffy dinosaurs for once.

Not sure if they knew. Theres a spot next to the path above your house where you can meditate and pass time to get to the day you want it to be.

[@Fredrickwolfxiii]

i loved the dlc for graveyard keeper

[@devforfun5618]

i like the grinding in this game, because they actually give you the tools to skip the grind, zombies and the ability to buy stuff instead of crafting, the main problem is that the dungeon isn't skippable and the combat is very boring, maybe they could have included combat potions, like bombs or incendiary to make the combat more than just spaming attack with a sword, or even combat zombies, making a revenant and leting it loose in the dungeon, only to have to fight him in the end instead of all the levels, a true boss battle created by the player

[@alenafraskova6903]

DLCs for graveyard keeper are nice, if you enjoyed the main game you might like them :)

[@kenetic420]

@4:12 you don't have to exhume the body he describes; you can take out any body so might as well take out the worst rated one

I played this game a while ago and it kept a mark on me for how terrible the writing is. You have just mentioned how "his love" would be pissed .. that's a good example, she basically isn't a character but just a trophy for him, no thought given to what she might think about being teleported to the middle ages. No thoughts given to any of the events or characters of this game it seems either. The communist donkey, the zombification of random people, making engulfing life and death in an endless capitalist wheel , it feels like there could be lots of things even a mediocre writer could say here, but nope, nothing. It did feel satisfying to find ways to progress in that game (and the mindless grinding is its own kind of satisfaction about filling bars .. until it just becomes a chore), although again it does not look like a lot of thought went into this. The weekly cycles, the ways you can get softlocked (no more sermons and you need something hard to get to start them again, etc), the abysmal combat.

[@jorgenkosche6902]

I love Graveyard Keeper, so happy to see more people enjoy it. About your DLC-question. There are four DLCs. Breaking Dead, Stranger Sins, Game of Crone and Better Save Soul (yeah, that are ouns on shows). You already have Breaking Dead, as this DLC added Zombies. Many versions of the game contain the DLC, I think it is platform dependent if it is included with the base game. Stranger Sins add a quest line which uncovers what happened 200 years ago, the source of the ancient curse and the ancient contract. It is quite funny to see the buildings that are ruins in the game as fully working buildings and gives you a new feeling for the space. You learn of the history of Gerry, the talking skull and other characters. Also you get to create a tavern and turn your food and alcoholic beverages into money. You can recruit diverse villagefolk to perform in your tavern including Ms. Charm. In my opinion the best DLC, the past stories are interesting and make the world more lived in and the tavern has mechanics that fit in well. Game of Crone looks at the other side of the Inquisition. You meet someone fleeing from the inquisition and he coaxes you into setting up a refugee camp that soon will house more refugees from the elusive town. Turns out these refugees are mostly aristocrats that can't hold a hammer and also don't know how to grow food, so you are hired for manual labor and supply them with food and drink. They pay with expensive jewelry. These 12 gold coins for aristocrat papers get really easy with this DLC. There is also a story line featuring a vampire, which you can provide with fresh blood. Also you get more dialogue from all the villagefolk, including the beekeper (yes, the village has one). I haven't had time to make a full playthrough with the Better Save Soul DLC, I know you get a new machanic to convert souls and turn sins into virtues. I have to play a full game with that to properly form an opinion. If you are interested in the story, then Stranger Sins is kinda a must buy. Would say even if not the tavern is quite fun to use. All DLC run alongside the normal gameplay, so I would make a new game once acquiring any DLC.
