Guernsey in
the Graveyard

a cozy, lofi slice of life (and death!)

Your name is Guernsey,

and you are the groundskeeper of Hudson Hollow Cemetery. You rake leaves, pick up litter, repair gravestones…

And once in a while… you help the "residents" attend to their unfinished business.

Hudson Hollow is bursting with hidden paths, shortcuts, mazes, and secrets, and a charming cast of characters and critters from both sides of the veil.

Chill Collecting & Exploration

Walk, run and hop through a snug, unhurried open world. Find keys, tools, and secret passages to progress. Navigate mazes and tricky platforms. Feed a flock of crows. And rack up that Chore Score!

And when a ghost needs some help, whether it's chasing a renegade rooster or playing a rousing round of Acorn Soccer, Guernsey is up to the task.

Nostalgic,
Cozy Vibes

The world of Hudson Hollow is a much-lauded mashup of retro pixels and low-poly art with contemporary lighting and rendering.

Explore a three-quarter view of a crooked, worn-in, spacious 2.5D world filled with life, bathed in a naturalistic autumnal palette with halloween-y accents. Bright, saturated, and warm.

A Whimsical, Melancholy Yarn

Each day in Hudson Hollow brings a new story to explore. Chat with characters young and old, ordinary and strange, perished and extant. Connect the anxious living with the wistful dead.

A story about adventure, lost chances, the candles we carry inside, and how breathtakingly awesome it is to be alive in this one, wonderful moment.

The History of Guernsey in the Graveyard

Benja was working as a manager at a AAA studio, just managing other creatives. Needing an outlet, he decided to make a game during the month of November. He resolved to post his progress every single day. But at the end of November, he just kept going—and has never missed a single day. Christmas, COVID, or camping in the woods, there's always an update.

Guernsey in the Graveyard is a very personal work, a champloo of eclectic influences from Animal Crossing to Zen Buddhism, mountain hikes to magical realism, Studio Ghibli to Chibi-Robo.

A unique aesthetic inspired by late 90s games, blended with modern rendering and approachable, satisfying game design. Equal parts walking simulator, cozy collect-a-thon, and open-world adventure—there's no game quite like Guernsey in the Graveyard.
