What it is about
Nagoyama graveyard is a solo journaling adventure. Based in a city graveyard in Himeji Japan, you begin as a voluteer grave keeper, in the run up to Obon, the Japanese festival of the dead. Although you begin by completing the menial chores expected of you, cleaning graves, sweeping the stupas and shooing the oddly persistent cats, the closer you get to Obon, the more unreal the events become. You record your journal over 16 days of summer.
