About the game
The Graveyard is a very short computer game. You play an old lady who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. It's more like an explorable painting than an actual game. An experiment with poetry and storytelling but without words.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 256 MB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce or ATI Radeon Video Card (no integrated graphics), 51 MB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.
The value story
24 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 25 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is less well reviewed than 92 percent of its genre. The Path ($9.99, scores 44) outscores it, and so does Streamer Daily ($9.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Impressive and slow. Powerful and without a real finale. A must-play. Eindrucksvoll und langsam. Wirkmächtig und ohne echtes Finale. Sollte man mal gespielt haben.
