The Gravedigger

huge potential for this game, yet the developer left to work on another game. Come back and update this game!

Sadly this game didn't quite deliver what I wanted from it, but that could very well be an expectation thing. I was expecting more of a graveyard simulator type experience, but really the graveyard setting is kind of glossed over. For instance, the game is called The Gravedigger, yet you don't dig graves. You approach graves, then the screen cuts to black while you hear sounds of a shovel, then magically the coffin is visible in the dirt. Thrillingly, you then click on the coffin and there's another cut to black, and then the coffin appears on the ground beside you so can slowly roll it into the church. If I may be hyperbolic, it would be like if, i dunno, Wave Race had you wait at the starting line, then it fades to black, and there are some engine noises while you imagine the waves being raced on. Let me dig a grave, yo, that's the name of the game! No I'm not *really* comparing this game to wave race, I'm comparing it to any other game out there that allows you to do the thing in the title of the game. There are just some strange choices (to me), like having to pay to move faster than a snail--like why don't you just make your game not miserable to play? But again, that doesn't …

Could have been really cool but the animations for taking a casket out and back in are just ridiculous and stupidly time consuming. Couldnt even get through the second day because of it.

Unfinished game that needed a lot more work and hasn't been updated in over a year and a half. Why is everything at blackout cutscene? Why is digging up the corpse a cut scene and not just let me dig it up.. why is there a cutscene/black out to haul the coffin the rest of the way into the building? Why is there a cutting to take the coffin back? why is there a cutscene to bury it? Super annoying bad choices. It's the same three bodies over and over and the same jewelry in the same places. Your character can't run jump etc. interesting concept but just not enough put into it, seems like they just left it on Steam to make money and don't care about it. Are the people writing positive reviews using AI or were paid or something? There's no possible way that you could play this and say it was a good game when it's so empty bad mechanics and not optimized at all. Is it cheap, sure, and maybe you can lower your standards enough to get some fun out of it??

Really good quality game. Interesting concept and a game I am willing to keep going back and replaying.

good horror game shame it wont let u save though :(
