Edit
The Graveyard is a very short computer game. You play an old lady who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. It’s more like an explorable painting than an actual game. An experiment with poetry and storytelling but without words.
Buying the full version of The Graveyard adds only one feature, the possibility of death. The full version of the game is exactly the same as the trial, except, every time you play she may die.

Overview
The Graveyard is a very short older experimental artistic walking simulator where it is less of a game and more of an interactive painting.
The whole game is really moving the old woman to the middle of the graveyard to sit on the bench and due to her age she moves quite slow even when you make her "run". As you reach the bench you will be serenaded with quite a depressing song about the old woman's friends that has passed and aging.
It is an interesting experience and a little strange but that is to be expected, some may find meaning while others will be confused and bored. Get this if you are curious or enjoy artistic interactives but definitely only when on sale as the asking price is quite high for less than 10 minutes of limping and sad music.

A unique and interesting artistic experiment. I wish there was a lot more like it.

I suspect that you will either love or hate this. And if you don't love it, it is expensive for what it is. I enjoy it very much but that's maybe because I enjoy graveyards in real life. I think this very short piece of cinema (it isn't a game) manages to capture that melancholic feeling of knowing we must die really well.
Two points worth mentioning: it won't stop unless I press the "windows" key and then press "stop" on the steam screen. And the subtitled song is in Dutch.

Truly a life changing experience, best enjoyed just after one of your loved ones gets a health scare and you really want to spiral into existential dread. 10/10
