Seasonala Cemetery

Don't take advantage of life while you still have it.

I'm not entirely sure what it is about this little digital art piece that compels me so much. Maybe it's that several of the people dearest to me are buried several hours away, and this game allows me to visit a graveyard and process my grief somehow. Maybe it's the stories the players can infer from looking at the graves and their inscriptions. Maybe it's that it reminds me of Natchez City Cemetery, my favorite historic cemetery that I've ever been to. There's no real gameplay, you just walk around and peruse the graves. You can pick a flower and leave it at any of them. You can put a rock on them, too. There's also a cat you can pet, if you catch it at the right time of day. For a free game, this project has a lot of character and heart, and I'll probably keep returning to it in the future.

I'm lucky because none of my closes relatives passed away as of now. But that makes me really scared of when it's gonna happen. i guess this game makes me less scared (and kinda nostalgic ?) I cried (a lot) reading the epitaphs on those tombs and the dialogues of some of the characters too. (I did time traveled to get all of the achievements but I was able to learn more about the other visitors so it's really worth it) I don't even know why you shouldn't try it it's free and pretty (and the background music is so peaceful I'm sad I can't find it on other platforms)

If you have played A Morticians Tale and are finding out about this beautiful game created by a majority of the same dev team, I don't think you will be disappointed. This free game in my opinion is a love letter to the community that fell in love with A morticians tale as well as a love letter to help people understand how natural death is and how mourning and remembering our loved ones who may no longer be with us in this world are still with us in so many ways. If you enjoy visiting cemeteries for whatever reasons I do believe this game is a fun experience. Though I do want you to keep in mind this is an experience type game and thus you can spend however long you want in it. If you just want to go walk the cemetery every month that is fine. If you want to open the game and let it be a lofi like experience that is also an awesome use of it.

It took me a long while to complete this game, but not because it has a lot of content to get through, simply because the achievements are date related and I had to play it on those days specifically. I like the atmosphere of the cemetery you can explore, an atmosphere that changes with the season (as the name implies) and certain special dates or holidays. There's not much to do other than walk around and talk to some NPCs, but it's pretty cozy for a game about a cemetery. Give it a try.

Great way to get a good cry in. The pet section is what broke me. I wanna know what William did, but it's not my story to know.

Just heartbreaking.
