Our take on The Graveyard
Rather than offering objectives, progression, or conventional challenges, this Simulation presents a short visit to a graveyard as an explorable artwork. Walking, sitting, and listening replace the genre's usual systems, while the full version introduces the possibility of death as its sole added feature.
What is The Graveyard?
Play as an old woman visiting a graveyard.
The experience consists of walking around, sitting on a bench, and listening to a song. It presents itself as an explorable painting rather than a conventional game, using poetry and storytelling without spoken or written words. The full version adds a chance for the character to die during each playthrough; otherwise, it is the same as the trial version.
