In a fog-shrouded English churchyard, sexton Isaac Fell tends the graves of the parish dead. His wages are meagre, his thirst insatiable, and his conscience... negotiable.

When two strangers offer him coin for a simple task,leave tools by a fresh grave, ask no questions,Isaac makes a choice that will haunt him far more literally than he ever imagined.

The Gravedigger is a choice-driven gothic horror visual novel set in the dark world of 19th-century resurrection men and body snatchers. As Isaac descends deeper into the grim trade of grave robbing, the dead begin to take notice. Spectral figures appear in the mist. Omens pile up at his door.

Will Isaac drown his guilt in gin? Confess his sins and seek redemption? Or rage against the whispers and hauntings that follow him?
