Welcome to 'Gravehearts', A slice of death, slow burn, cosy game with the hint of the macabre.

Follow the story of the new groundskeeper of Overlook Cemetery in the small town of Blackwood. You wanted to start a new life, but could not escape the ghosts of your past, and now you can't seem to escape the ghosts of the past. Strange things are going on in this town, and it seems like only you can help; you are the connection between the living and the dead.

Gravehearts is a visual novel that will be updated as individual chapters. There will be no additional charges for each chapter, and there will be no in-game purchases. We are just here to hang out and enjoy our time with the spirits, no Ouija bored needed.
