Fix the blocker in front of you.

Six focused routes cover the current demo, its save handoff, and the questions most likely to stop a first play session.

Four operating desks · Choose a system

Run the graveyard like a business.

Each desk separates confirmed systems from the numbers and routes that still need the full release build.

The sequel’s new pressure loop · Confirmed

Rebuild a Town that changes the graveyard.

Securing and restoring districts opens markets and resource access. A larger, more prosperous population also sends more—and potentially better—corpses to your gate.

Working tools · Useful before release

Make a decision, not a guess.

Five interactive desks turn current evidence into comparisons, filters, plans, and a private launch checklist.

For returning keepers · Reset the spreadsheet

Same dark trade. A wider machine.

The graveyard and familiar red-skull language return, but the sequel adds district restoration, deeper zombie specialization, army combat, new modules, and a 3D fixed-view world. Familiarity is orientation—not proof that an old formula still works.

Quick answers · Verified Sep 19

Before you open the gate.

When does Graveyard Keeper 2 release?

The full game releases September 22, 2026. The free demo has been live since September 14.

Does the demo save carry over?

Yes. The official demo announcement says the same save carries into the full game; the exact launch handoff will be rechecked on Sep 22.

Why are recipes, items, and quest pages missing?

Those records need the shipping build. Their schemas are ready, but empty or speculative pages remain outside the public route graph.
