π° What Happened
A PC Gamer writer playing Graveyard Keeper 2 said he planned to be an honest gravekeeper this time. It did not last. As soon as he unlocked the recipe for candles made from human fat, he started making them to raise his church's decoration score. The article jokes about how fast players slide into dark choices once a game makes them useful.

Graveyard Keeper is a management game about running a graveyard and a church. Players dig graves, cut up bodies for parts and turn them into goods. In the first game the same writer sold corpse meat to the local tavern. Graveyard Keeper 2 keeps that mix of cozy farming and grim humour, with more of the same dark jokes.
