[PC] The Graveyard

I found out about this game recently. It appears to be the ultimate parody of an "indie art game", and what makes it even funnier is that it's unintentional.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Graveyard_%28video_game%29
The Graveyard is a computer game developed by Belgian developer Tale of Tales in which the player assumes the role of an elderly woman walking through a graveyard to a bench.[2] A song begins to play, after which the elderly woman walks out of the graveyard and the game ends.[1] The only difference between the free trial and the full game is that in the full game, every time it is played there is a small chance the elderly woman dies of natural causes.[3]

The Graveyard was nominated for the Innovation Award in the Independent Games Festival 2009 [4]


I enjoyed this clause from the first sentence of the Tale of Tales Wikipedia article:
Tale of Tales BVBA is a Belgian developer of art games and screensavers


And here's some footage, if you dare watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbdYPU2k0wg
