Graveyard Keeper 2 Demo

The Graveyard Keeper 2 demo is not a slice — it is the first chapter, with progress that carries into the full game on September 22. Here is what it contains and how to get the most out of it.

What Is in the Demo

• Roughly 3-4 hours of content
• Runs through the opening loop up to the moment “The Town appears”
• Covers the church unlock chain (Jack’s boat → Clay Plates → Nun → Temple) — see faith
• Introduces body prep, early alchemy and the first automation steps

Save Carryover

Demo saves carry into the full game — confirmed by the developers and printed on the store page. That makes the demo the optimal way to start: nothing you do is wasted, including the demo rewards.

Demo Rewards: Sauna & Outfit

• Playing the demo grants the Sauna and an Outfit
• Rewards follow the save into the full game — you do not need to re-earn them
• Full breakdown on the preorder bonus page

Demo Platforms

The demo is available on all launch platforms — PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Switch 2 — matching the day-one release coverage on release date.

How Popular Is the Demo?

• Peak concurrent players: 26,863
• Steam followers: ~49,700 and climbing
• Reported pre-orders: ¥160M (~$1.1M) in the first 5 days (AUTOMATON, Sep 2)

Demo Tips Before You Start

1. Build the graveyard properly from hour one — the demo save is your launch save
2. Get the Temple running before you experiment — weekly Mass income compounds
3. Do not gamble organs before you have the Cultist-type perk; see body prep
4. Push toward the Town as your final demo goal — it is the natural stopping point
