At a glance, you might confuse Graveyard Keeper with similar games like Stardew Valley and others. That’s part of the game’s charm though; in many ways, Graveyard Keeper relies on the familiarity with the elements of those games to makes its morbid twist of said elements work. Because in this simulator/RPG, you aren’t lovingly tending to a farm, but managing a graveyard and figuring out how to profit from those corpses rotting under the ground.

Of course, you could just leave the bodies to rest and build up your cemetery and its value through legal means. But for more money, you’re going to get bloody, hacking at bodies to harvest this flesh, eventually improving your tools to harvest organs and bones. More damaged corpses reduce your cemetery’s worth but you can always cremate the bodies or just dump them in the river, although that may have dire consequences later.

Townsfolk love meat as a delicacy so selling those organs and meat to the local butcher can be worth decent money if you’re not discovered. You’ll need that money to keep your corpse-cart-pulling donkeys fed and to purchase better equipment and keep your farm running smoothly. Or you can descend into the surrounding dungeons to gather loot yourself, engaging in hack-n-slash action to complement your graveyard management above.

Graveyard Keeper is available for $ 19.99 on PC through Steam or Humble Bundle, and on Xbox One. For more details, you can visit the game’s official site, Tinybuild’s site, and Twitter page of developer Lazy Bear Games.

Death makes fools of us all because it exposes the limitations of human knowledge. We may have strong beliefs about what happens after our final breath, but none among us truly knows what happens. That uncertainty can gnaw away at those left behind with little more than the memory and the body of the recently departed.

In To Dust, first-time feature director Shawn Snyder locates the tragedy in pining for such answers but also digs a little deeper for a truly revelatory find. Because of – and remarkably, not in spite of – the weighty material he deals with, he finds the comedy in the situation. The lengths to which devastated widower Shmuel (Géza Röhrig) goes to achieve the sense of finality that he cannot locate within his religious community eventually reaches the point of absurdity. We don’t laugh at him; we laugh with him because the Grim Reaper could come knocking at one of our own loved ones’ doors someday soon.

It’s a bit of a surprising tonal tightrope to walk, especially for a film that begins with some fairly sobering scenes inside a hospital where Shmuel’s wife succumbs to cancer. Her body is prepared for quick burial in the Orthodox Jewish tradition, a process which Snyder documents in painstaking detail. Through the rituals, she’s connected to millennia of tradition, yet it hardly provides comfort for Shmuel. In the absence of a religious remedy for his worry, he ventures outside conventional boundaries and begins to look for answers in science.

As a proxy for his wife’s soul, Shmuel fixates on the fate of her body lying in the ground. What forces are acting on her in the dirt? How is she decaying and decomposing? With nothing to guide him in his own community, he stumbles into a local university and asks for a scientist – and just that. Nothing more specific. Luckily, he walks into the classroom of Albert (Matthew Broderick), who’s just bored, curious and compassionate enough to indulge Shmuel’s vague requests.

After fetching a book that illustrates how the body of a pig breaks down in the earth, Albert plants the idea in Shmuel’s head to simulate the decomposition of his wife by burying a pig that they can occasionally check on in the ground. The two make for an odd couple, with Shmuel so firm in his desire to create his own sense of closure and Albert never clear why he allows himself to keep getting dragged along for the wild ride. They’re both bumbling and hapless in their own way, too. Shmuel, operating well outside of his cultural comfort zone, commits many a well-intentioned faux pas. Albert, meanwhile, has a bumbling streak and tends to fumble endearingly over his own words. (His mix-up between “Hasidic” and “acidic” draws a belly laugh.)

Röhrig and Broderick work remarkably well in tandem throughout To Dust, with the former providing the sincerity and the latter bringing some levity. Broderick in particular serves as a welcome release valve for some of the heavy subject matter, which might otherwise drag down the film. The wry wit keeps the film moving at a nice clip and lightens the air that might otherwise reek of putrid corpses. Broderick serves as the film’s real scene-stealer, and it’s an opportunity for him to shine like we haven’t seen in a while. Perhaps a little backstory might have made him an even more compelling character, but Albert’s wise-cracking unwitting companion still delights with each time he gets drawn in further to Shmuel’s quest for certitude.

Röhrig, previously only seen on the big screen in 2015’s harrowing Holocaust drama Son of Saul, is plenty compelling in his own right, though. The performance is not nearly as layered or revelatory as his last one, but he still inflects To Dust with a moving humanity. (Ethan Hawke was in attendance at the film’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere, and I overheard him nearby saying he came primarily because he was such a fan of Röhrig’s last turn.) Shmuel’s whirlwind journey gives Röhrig a chance to show a greater emotional range beyond the dour morbidity of a Holocaust sonderkommando, although it does not scale nearly the same emotional heights as a result.

Röhrig’s best moments are the ones he shares with Broderick – Snyder’s script, co-written with Jason Begue, knows how to handle their relationship best. It doesn’t have quite the same dexterity when dealing with Shmuel’s children, who debate whether or not an evil spirit known as a dybbuk has taken hold inside their father. The subplot never really takes off, in part because it feels so separate from the rest of the action. If anything, it’s too conventional – one of few things in To Dust that is.

The text adventure has been quietly thriving for years, most notably through IFComp and Twine but also in fascinating titles like Counterfeit Monkey, Hadean Lands, or the recent illustrated re-release of Anchorhead. The Pilgrimage, currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, looks to be another promising addition to the genre, promising a sarcastically-toned journey through the places and peoples of a dying sun-scorched Earth.

You’re a Pilgrim, on a journey a thousand years in the future, across a shattered planet drifting around a sea of sun fire. Whatever your goal was, it may have been important, but unfortunately, you’ve awakened from a drunken hangover with no money and a dead body that the local authorities suspect you of murdering. That’s how your journey starts in The Pilgrimage, and by the game’s own descriptions, things are only going to get worse.

As a text adventure, The Pilgrimage is familiar, given its parser-based nature, but playing the demo demonstrates a charmingly entertaining world with a quite lenient verb system and a dialogue system akin to classic RPGs where you can choose responses (or just ask directly about directions to locations or about items in your pockets). Characters’ dialogue, humorous reactions to your actions (and repeat actions), and myriad details and descriptions fleshing on the lore of this weird world makes The Pilgrimage a text adventure to keep on, both for genre veterans and newcomers thanks to its quality-of-life aspects and less strict design.

The Pilgrimage can be supported on Kickstarter, and more information on its development and the backstory of its world can be found on the game’s site.

His imagery also plays on science fiction tropes with a twist of humor. In his series Franchise, currently on view at Gallery 1988 through July 8, Listfield depicts his familiar space traveler making contact with fast food and restaurant chains in the urban and rural wilds of a dystopian future. If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be to discover a lost Starbucks as Dr. David Bowman from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, see more of Listfield’s imaginative paintings in our gallery.

John Allan, chairman of the UK’s biggest retailer Tesco, has been forced to clarify his remarks after claiming that white men now have to work harder than minorities and women to earn a place in the boardroom.

“If you are female and from an ethnic background – and preferably both – then you are in an extremely propitious period,” Allan told a panel during the Retail Week Live conference this week.

“For a thousand years, men have got most of these jobs, the pendulum has swung very significantly the other way now and will do for the foreseeable future. If you are a white male, tough – you are an endangered species and you are going to have to work twice as hard.”

Labour MP Yvette Cooper said that she had “no words” about Allan’s comments, while the leader of the Women’s Equality Sophie Walker led calls to boycott the supermarket, which operates 3,000 outlets in the UK alone.

Tesco’s board of directors is all white, and contains nine men and three women.

“We call on the Tesco Board of Directors to commit to prioritise diversifying their board and provide a clear path with set targets on how they intend to do so,” said a statement from advocacy group Women’s March on London.

“As consumers we are a powerful force and can exercise our freedom to shop elsewhere to support women and locally owned businesses. We encourage all of our marchers to do so until Tesco steps up.”

Allan told the Guardian that he had been misconstrued, explaining that there was a recruitment drive among the UK’s biggest companies to bring more women into the boardroom, particularly as non-executive directors, who have a say on the company policy, without being involved in hands-on management.

“I was talking to a bunch of aspiring non-executive directors, many of whom were women, and I wanted to give them some encouragement and, therefore, I used that rather colorful turn of speech. And the audience, I think, was quite amused and quite enjoyed it,” said Allan, 68, himself a non-executive board member.

“It was intended to be humorous, a bit hyperbolic. Clearly, white men are not literally an endangered species but I was actually wanting to make the reverse point, which is that it is a great time for women and people of ethnic minorities who want to get on in business.”

Statistics show that about 26 percent of all non-executive directors on the boards of the FTSE 100 companies are women, and only 10 percent of executives. Eight percent represent ethnic minorities.
