Puppets Cemetery

Why We Picked Puppets Cemetery

There is no timer in Puppets Cemetery and no fail state to recover from, so the pace is the player's. It is a toy first, and it is honest about that. It is steering with the arrow keys on a screen with one obvious thing to touch, which keeps the first minute calm. The reason it stayed: it can be understood without being read. By the numbers: 133 of 183 on the adventure shelf, 4.5 out of 5 from 32 ratings, and 960 plays.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Mute the tab rather than the device when a game's audio needs to stop quickly.
• Complete the little task the screen sets, at whatever pace suits.
• Sit alongside for the first screen and then step back.

Editor’s Note

An adult nearby helps on the first visit; after that the screen is usually self-explanatory. The whole game fits on one screen and one idea, which is the right size for the audience.
