Graveyard Keeper II - Known Bugs, Crashes & Community Fixes
22 September 2026
About this game
Graveyard Keeper II is a darkly comedic medieval management game where you restore the Town, run a cemetery, and turn human remains, flora, and fauna into machinery and automated production. As the Grand Inquisitor, you must defend the realm from a zombie apocalypse by building towers and fortifications, crafting weapons and armor, and training an undead army for battle. Assign zombie workers to handle labor, complete quests for townspeople, rebuild their homes, and convert the Town’s troubles into profit. Grotesque characters, twisted storytelling, and irreverent humor shape this unhinged sequel.
