11 The cast of Graveyard Keeper 2 has not been rostered publicly. No named NPC has been announced. What the studio has confirmed is the shape of the population, which groups exist and why, and that is what this page records.

66 On the refugees the studio adds a line that captures the game's register exactly: apparently, even a zombie infested Town can look attractive when the rent is low enough.

88 The September 2026 combat log adds where the townsfolk come back into view: town battles are fought on the streets, and after a victory those same streets become populated by the townsfolk and market stalls. A demo store screenshot shows the result on one restored street, with a stall selling bread under an awning, residents walking between the houses and a covered wagon by the gate; none of the figures is named.

1213 One of the clearest quality of life changes in the sequel concerns where quest characters are. In the original, important quest characters visited only once a week from a Town the player could never enter. Now that The Town is part of the game, the studio says there is nowhere mysterious for them to arrive from, so they generally stay at their regular locations. The weekly planning pressure has not been removed entirely: certain mechanics connected to those characters remain available only on their designated days.

1718 Quest progression is tied to helping residents with their problems, and completing those quests unlocks the next building, service or tier of access in a district. The launch announcement frames it as completing quests throughout the city while undead workers handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes. The mechanics of that are on Town Restoration.
