Graveyard Keeper 2 Demo Lets Players Lie in a Coffin at BitSummit
The coffin setup turns a standard demo booth into a memorable physical gag that fits the game's macabre theme, giving BitSummit attendees a reason to stop and talk about the sequel.

At BitSummit PUNCH, Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild are showing a playable demo of Graveyard Keeper 2 where attendees can sit or lie inside a padded coffin to play. The demo covers the opening of the cemetery management sim, which is set for a 2026 release on PC and consoles.
Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild brought a coffin to BitSummit PUNCH. Attendees can climb inside the padded box, rest their head on the cushion, and play the Graveyard Keeper 2 demo on a handheld ROG Ally Xbox unit. The booth is a literal take on the phrase 'playing while lying down,' and it is drawing attention at one of Japan's largest indie game events.
The demo itself opens with the protagonist waking in an underground prison, being blamed for destroying the world by a fairy, and befriending a talking skull. The full game, scheduled for 2026 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, will also let players command zombies for tasks like mining, farming, alchemy, and combat.
