About Graveyard Keeper 2
Graveyard Keeper 2 expands the original’s darkly comedic simulation, placing you in charge of a medieval graveyard while also serving as the Grand Inquisitor. You harvest flora, fauna, and human remains to construct machines, automate production, and generate profit.
Beyond the graveyard, you rebuild the surrounding town, assist its residents, and lead a zombie army against a looming apocalypse. The game blends adventure, RPG, and simulation elements with full controller support and Steam features such as achievements and cloud saves.
01 / THE GUIDE
Graveyard Management
The core loop revolves around building and expanding a medieval graveyard. You collect flora, fauna, and human remains, using them as resources for construction and profit. The game encourages scaling the graveyard to increase revenue.
Automation tools let undead workers handle heavy tasks, allowing you to focus on strategic expansion. Managing these systems efficiently is key to maximizing output.
- Observe which resources yield the highest profit and prioritize their collection.
- Compare the output of manual versus automated processes to decide where to invest in automation.

Zombie‑Based Automation
Undead workers perform the heavy lifting behind the scenes, turning raw materials into finished goods without direct player input. This system is described as “zombie‑based automation.”
Automation is structured, allowing you to transform local efforts into a scalable operation that supports larger projects like town reconstruction.
- Test different automation setups to see which yields smoother production chains.
- Note how the presence of undead workers changes the pace of resource processing.

Undead Army Battles
As the Grand Inquisitor you lead a zombie army to defend the kingdom from a zombie apocalypse. You build towers, fortifications, and craft armor and weapons for your troops.
Combat involves slashing through enemies while your not‑so‑smart troops carry out orders, blending action with strategic preparation.
- Compare the durability of different fortifications before committing resources.
- Observe how weapon choices affect battle flow and adjust accordingly.

- Compare the impact of different town upgrades on overall profit.
