[gaming] do you like stardew valley, but sometimes get stressed by the time constraints of the day/night cycle and the year 3 farm quality goals? do you like horror and/or mortuary arts? do you like dark comedy?

may i recommend to you graveyard keeper?

i have no reason to pitch this, i just love it and think more people who like chill farming sims should also consider giving it a look

you can learn alchemy and reanimate the dead to help manage your farm so you can do better sermons in church, you can have your undead minions learn how to write so you can do better sermons, there's a dungeon, you can decorate with skulls, you can make wine and beer and candles and incense and jewelry

there's a communism dlc where you can help or antagonize comrade donkey
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
there's a vampire dlc
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
I've barely touched either bc there's so much just in the base game alone
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
there's some pixelated gore bc you are a mortician/graveyard keeper who also is managing the local church, and your corpse quality affects your church and graveyard quality

(and also later, the quality of your undead minions which affects work efficiency)

you can also inter bodies ethically or just be completely unethical and harvest for parts and cremate what remains

also you absolutely have cooking and recipes for the food you farm!!

i like stardew but it kinda stresses me out sometimes and graveyard keeper is no deadlines only vibes
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
ALSO MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU CAN KEEP BEES

it offers a lot of the same stuff mechanically while also being unique, i like it

oh I think I remember this game from. somewhere? idk but I'mma wishlist this one so I don't forget again
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
yeah, it's been around for a bit and is on pretty much everything now! but i think it's one of those that people have definitely missed for one reason or another

Perfect Garbage Studios is also developing a dark humor farming sim at the moment, but the plot was something along the lines of either you or a townsperson is a serial killer (if the latter, iirc i think a major mechanic is finding out who is...? been a while since i saw the annoucement on twitter)

something to put on the radar of people who are intrigued by graveyard keeper

.... how dare you come for me, a lad who spent 90% of his free time this week restarting Stardew to fight off the burnout

Wayward Haze
... is it on Switch
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
it is
miles you ass
this seems like cult of the lamb which means i am gonna love it
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
it's not as combat roguelike-y as cult of the lamb but definitely kinda similar in that way
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
but there is definitely a strong narrative and lots of quests
miles you ass
I love the town-management aspects of cotl so this sounds right up my alley
Wayward Haze
YES I am also about 75% through COTL
miles you ass
I need to finish Relics of the Old Faith, that dropped just before TotK and of course TotK took priority, but I'd actually 100%ed it before that update dropped
Just Lore
It's been on my switch wishlist for ages. But I'm so jumping on it for Steam.
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
i have it on both steam and switch and it's fun to play on either one! it definitely goes on sale on there too from time to time if you find yourself wanting the portability of play
Wayward Haze
Yeah, rn my computer desk is a bit awkward to play at so I'm more prone to play for a long time on Switch
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
totally makes sense, i have had all kinds of awkward desk situations so i get it. but yeah, it runs and plays great on switch just as much as pc ✌️
Wayward Haze
... Yeah speaking of that, I'm restarting Alan so I get my ammo and my batteries back now that I know what I'm doing
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
hahaha sometimes you just gotta go in with a fresh start. idk what difficulty you're playing on but the level of damage taken/dealt is not THAT much different between normal and easy so if you haven't been playing on easy already i recommend it
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
whenever i stream it i play on easy b/c we're there for the story, not the combat
Wayward Haze
Yeah I'm an easy guy
Wayward Haze
And I was only about 40 minutes in so it isn't bad
Wayward Haze
Also playing it docked this time, I tend to do better with games like this when the controls aren't on either side of the screen
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
yeah, i haven't played it on switch but as someone who prefers using a controller grip or pro controller for action games i can def see that
