Graveyard Keeper 2 Demo Launches Ahead of September 22 Release
A carry-over demo is the standard pre-release move for a management sim whose appeal depends on how the loop feels in the hand, so tinyBuild is letting players test the automation and town rebuilding before the September 22 launch.

Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild have started distributing a demo for Graveyard Keeper 2, the medieval graveyard management simulator. The demo is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and save data carries over to the full version releasing September 22. The full version costs 3,630 yen including tax, with PlayStation priced at 3,190 yen. A trailer was also released.
The demo was announced during the "tinyBuild Connect" showcase and covers a slice of graveyard management, crafting, automation, and town rebuilding. Players take the role of a kingdom's new graveyard keeper, collecting materials such as hearts, bones, brains, and skin to build a zombie workforce that handles heavy labor while residents' houses and quests are rebuilt. Pre-orders come with limited character costumes, which differ by platform, and a special sauna that can be installed outside the home. The sequel keeps the predecessor's black humor and ethically unsettling choices.
