THE GRAVEYARD is a really threatening game for me, and I think I get the point of this game in the first few second. It is a self-exploration game ,which enables player to experience aging and death. There is no win or fail in this game.

The operation of this game is really simple, so there is no single instructions when  people enter in the game, it's just a walking simulation. The whole scene is black and white, really depressing. The main figure is an old lady. Unlike other type of game, where the walking is smooth and fluent, the pace of the lady is very slow. If you make her keeping walking, she even became lambed.

There is only one path that you can go, and this tower is the final destination. If players tried to go to other path or keep walking ahead, we will lose sight on the lady. Through these constraints, it can clearly guide people experience through the narrative story. The design of bench is really outstanding, using the whole white color and in the middle of the path, ,enables player to notice it and interact with it. When you place the lady sit on the bench, a song with lyrics plays.  When the song ends, the lady embraces death, which is the end of the game.
