A cemetery mystery told entirely through gravestone epitaphs, solved solo or together.
Who it's for
Mystery and deduction fans who enjoy slow-burn, text-driven puzzles solo or in a quiet cooperative session.
Not for you if…
You want fast-paced or competitive gameplay — this is a deliberate, reading-heavy mystery built for patience.
Vibe's take
Slow and atmospheric — you're re-reading and cross-referencing rather than racing a clock, with the payoff coming from piecing a story together, not beating an opponent.
The Secrets of Warden Keene puts you in the shoes of a newly appointed cemetery caretaker in 1925 Illinois, who inherits a locked notebook full of a predecessor's unsolved mysteries. The only clues are the epitaphs carved into the gravestones themselves, and piecing together what really happened means reading the town's history through the words its dead left behind.
