The Overseer becomes the Inquisitor
The sequel changes the player's role: now it is not a nameless caretaker, but the Grand Inquisitor , who must save the kingdom from the zombie apocalypse and along the way turn the disaster into a profitable business. The signature features of the series have been preserved - black humor, a deep crafting tree and a morality that does not stand up to criticism.
- automation: zombies maintain underground production stations;
- new tower defense mode - defense of cities by an army whose intelligence leaves much to be desired;
- gradual recapture of city districts and restoration of shops: the troubles of the townspeople are your orders;
- kingdom-wide expansion of the cemetery and funeral empire.
Announced at the Triple-i Initiative show in April 2026, it received more than 120 thousand additions to the wishlist in a few hours and over 400 thousand in a week, entering the top 100 on Steam. The original Graveyard Keeper (2018) sold millions of copies and maintains a "very positive" status with over 50 thousand reviews, so expectations for the sequel are impressive.
