Premise
Players return to the graveyard keeper role, but the setting has taken a darker turn: a zombie apocalypse threatens the realm. The familiar loops of burying corpses, crafting, trading, and interacting with townsfolk are still intact, but they sit on top of a crisis that reshapes everything around them.
What's New
Automation. See Automation. Zombie labour drives conveyor belts and workstations; reanimated corpses literally walk in circles to power the machinery.
Expanded combat. See Combat. Players craft armour and weapons, recruit a party, and send fighters to the frontlines against zombie waves.
Town restoration. See Town Restoration. The ruined city is rebuilt building by building, with players turning the townsfolk's problems into a revenue stream.
Management + strategy blend. The sim side is preserved, but with action-strategy layered on top for a broader gameplay scope than the original.
