11 This page records the on-screen layout of Graveyard Keeper 2 as it appears in the official store screenshots. Everything here is read from official screenshots published before the 22 September 2026 release, so some labels and values may differ in the released game.

1414 The approval gauge reads 5, 10, 11, 12, 17 and 19 out of 20 across the published captures, which suggests a standing or reputation value that moves during play rather than a fixed cap. The game does not label it on screen.

1616 Location Banner
1717  
1818 Whenever the player enters a distinct area the game prints a banner in the top right corner. Some areas attach a small status readout to the banner, which is the clearest sign that each one runs a local system of its own.

2121 The Town banner is the only one that stacks two lines, naming the settlement on top and the district beneath it. That structure matches the district by district reclamation described under Town Restoration. The full area list is on Locations.

2323 Interaction and Build Prompts
2424  
2525 Contextual prompts appear next to whatever the player is standing at. The graveyard capture shows an F key prompt attached to a grave surround, and the build mode capture prints a three line control list in the bottom right reading Build on the left mouse button, Rotate on R and Exit on Escape. Pickup feedback appears as a small floating toast in the lower right, one of which reads plus three Stick.
2626  
2727 A demo capture taken with a controller shows the same prompt system with pad glyphs: while fishing, the bottom of the screen reads Tug the rod on the A button and Exit on the B button, and the compass ring in the top left holds a small map view with the approval gauge reading ten out of twenty beside it. The September 2026 combat log adds that mouse and keyboard combat is designed to be playable with one hand.

2929 Combat Display
3030  
3131 The combat capture uses a different set of overlays. Every participant carries a bar above their head: green over the player, red over hostiles, and blue over one unit. Two long segmented meters run across the top centre of the screen, one marked with a shield and one with an open hand. A movement or formation widget sits in the bottom left beside a single equipped weapon slot. More on what those controls do is on Combat.

3333 Saving and Audio
3434  
35-The publisher's support centre says the game is saved by resting in bed. It recommends saving that way often, and relaunching the game every few hours, to avoid performance that degrades over long sessions. The developer says the options include a switch between full voice acting and the characters' original mumbling. The launch achievement list counts Inspirations, with an achievement at 150, and patch notes since launch name individual Inspirations, such as Dry Cleaning, Surgeon's Error and Formula Master II, some of which count actions performed in the world.

3737 Interface Changes Since Launch
3838  
3939 Since update 1.006 the PC version has an in-game bug report tool, reached from the top-left of the main menu or from the pause menu. Other interface changes in the first patches: save slots show current information and a happiness icon, tutorial windows resize to fit their text, scenes were widened so they are no longer cut off on widescreen monitors, the Alchemy folio and the study table window were tidied up, and update 1.010 fixed controller problems in gameplay, in the garden bed window and with the Builder's Bag.
