Grab This Top Stardew Valley Alternative for Free on Steam—Limited Time Offer!

Graveyard Keeper lets you dive into the quirky role of managing a medieval graveyard, where you’re the sole caretaker dealing with a steady influx of bodies. It’s a challenging yet rewarding experience, with a touch of creepiness and plenty of oddities. Best of all, for a limited time, this unique simulator is available for free on Steam.

From now until April 13, you can snag a free copy of Graveyard Keeper on Steam. The game runs smoothly on Steam Deck, boasts a variety of wild DLC, and offers numerous mods to customize your experience.

Originally released on Steam in 2018, Graveyard Keeper arrived about two years after Stardew Valley, and its inspiration from that title and Harvest Moon is clear. The developers have openly acknowledged that Stardew Valley played a significant role in shaping Graveyard Keeper. Among the many games that followed Stardew Valley’s success, Graveyard Keeper stands out as one of the best, providing a robust and delightfully inaccurate pixelated simulation of managing a medieval cemetery. Excitingly, a sequel was announced at the Triple-I indie showcase on April 9, and to celebrate, the original game is now free on Steam—no strings attached.

In the meantime, check out the trailer for the newly announced Graveyard Keeper 2, which is unlikely to be free when it launches later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC.
