Graveyard Keeper 2 Wiki & Guides

Graveyard Keeper 2 is the sequel to the smash-hit management sim Graveyard Keeper, developed by Lazy Bear Games and published by tinyBuild. You restore a run-down town, manage its graveyard, automate production, and lead an undead workforce — building a business run by zombies. The game launches on Steam on September 22, 2026, and a free demo is available right now on the official Steam page.

This site is a verified-first companion for that journey: a wiki hub of confirmed systems, decision-support guides for tech points and graveyard rating, plus a troubleshooting page for the bugs and blockers players report.

1. Explore and gather — chop wood, cut stone and collect resources around the town and the graveyard (verified in the demo).
2. Unlock technology — spend red, green and blue points on the tech tree (Building, Nature and more categories are visible in the demo).
3. Build and craft — place workstations in build mode and turn raw materials into goods at crafting stations.
4. Serve the graveyard — bury corpses, decorate graves and raise your graveyard rating.
5. Automate and expand — put zombies to work, grow the town, and push deeper into quests and alchemy.

Console timing and post-launch content can change — treat the official store page as the source of truth. Last verified: 2026-09-21 (demo build). Re-check after the 2026-09-22 launch.

The official store description highlights four pillars that push far beyond the original game:

• Undead army battles — lead your zombie army into battle against the apocalypse and fortify the town behind barricades.
• Structured automation — put undead workers on production lines and let the heavy lifting run itself.
• Town restoration & economy — rebuild the town and turn residents' problems into revenue.
• Bigger, darker quests — a grander setting, more systems and a twisted story to match.

Every confirmed system has a home here. Start with these:

• Tech points — red, green and blue points gate the tech tree. How to earn each colour
• Graveyard rating — graves and decorations show score bubbles that add up to your rating. Improve your rating
• Zombie automation — the demo's headline feature: undead workers and defence. Zombie guide
• Recipes & alchemy — crafting stations and rune-based alchemy. Recipe database
• Quests — the town-restoration storyline and how quests unlock systems. Quests hub
• Money & resources — what to gather, what to sell, and what to hold. Resources · Money

Launch weeks drown new games in guessed numbers. This wiki does the opposite:

• Official baseline — the store page and the official FAQ define release facts, platforms and languages.
• Demo-stamped — mechanics described here were checked in the 2026-09-15 demo build and carry a verification date.
• Launch-gated — exact full-game values (costs, recipes, point yields) get re-checked after September 22 instead of being guessed now.

When this site states a fact, it has a source. When it can't verify a detail, it says so.
