There are ancient goddesses to seek favour from, dark faery tale creatures to do battle with, and outlandish illnesses to catch… and hopefully cure. This mysterious sandbox world and its appealing retro graphics help differentiate the game from other Stardew Valley-like titles. The game, developed by a team that previously worked on the Fable series, is inspired by British folklore.

Welcome to the world’s first reincarnation simulator! However in Kynseed you can get married, have children, and then pass away. You will still farm your fields, set up shops, have adventures, and gather supplies. Imagine a game like Stardew Valley where the years go by at a faster pace. Kynseed is a gorgeous little indie game that isn’t actually all that little in a sense it’s never ending. Platforms: Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Linux, Macintosh OS, Android. It’s perfect for Stardew Valley fans that can still vibe out with something that is morbid in a fun-loving way. It’s just that what once was bright and full of life has developed a bit of a limp and is edging towards you with a most peculiar blank expression etched across its face.

The mechanics are all pretty much the same. Graveyard Keeper essentially performs a resurrection spell on Stardew Valley. And while you probably saw this coming, the dead may rise from time to time and you will need to tend to that too. You will be tasked with managing a graveyard so scrubbing graves, tending to the dead, growing food, and gathering alchemy materials are all in your job description. And if the 3D nature of My Time at Portia turned you off, then this could be the game for you. From a mechanics point of view, this game is like Stardew Valley from top to bottom. Ok, so don’t be turned off by the title and hear me out.
