  Newly announced cemetery life sim Graveyard Keeper 2 is already among the top 100 most-wishlisted games on Steam, and the head of publisher tinyBuild partly attributes its sudden rise to a carefully planned Steam marketing strategy that highlights the difference between making a game free and giving it away.
