The Graveyard

The Graveyard is an immersive, experimental computer game that encapsulates the essence of storytelling through a wordless experience. In this short yet poignant game, you take on the role of an elderly woman who wanders a serene graveyard, exploring its atmosphere. The game invites you to stroll around, find a bench, and listen to a hauntingly beautiful song, creating an evocative ambiance that feels more like an interactive painting than a conventional game.

The gameplay experience is intentionally minimalistic, focusing on exploration and reflection rather than challenges or objectives. A unique feature of the full version is the addition of an element of mortality; upon purchasing the full game, every playthrough introduces the possibility that the frail lady may succumb to death. Regardless, the core experience remains unchanged, emphasizing its thematic depth and emotional resonance. Designed by Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn, The Graveyard serves as a contemplative journey through life and loss, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of digital art.
