About the Game

The Groundskeeper is a 2D top-down indie horror game featuring retro pixel art and a mysterious threat to uncover. Button up your overalls and grab your flashlight as the night shift approaches and Gramen Park needs its guardian... for you may find that something sinister lurks in the dark.

Armed with a task list and a tool shed, you’ll be quickly interrupted by a group of pesky delinquents looking to cause trouble on your grounds. Lock the gates, stop the meddlers, and uncover the mysterious disappearance of your coworker, Dave. Stay within the light, Groundskeeper. These mysteries will pull you into a darkness that consumes.

In this full version, you will shine your flashlight through the curtains of Gramen Manor, home of the answers to your mysteries and the source of the threat on Gramen Park. Will you fulfill your duty as The Groundskeeper, or will the blight on Gramen catch up to you?
