“A Brand New Physics Game - The Hilltop Funeral, Is Participating In Steam Next Fest”

Check out this Tim Burton-inspired physics game where two pallbearers carry a corpse uphill to the funeral home!

New York - June 9th, 2025 - BROKENCIGS announces The Hilltop Funeral, a Tim Burton-Inspired physics game where players will control two characters and try to carry a casket and a corpse uphill to the funeral house. The Hilltop Funeral currently can be played in both single-player mode and two-player local co-op mode.


BROKENCIGS is an indie game studio based in New York. The Hilltop Funeral is the studio’s second game, and is currently participating in the Steam Next Fest with a public demo. The Hilltop Funeral will be released in Early Access in Q3 2025, with more contents updated gradually after the EA release.


Features:

Control Two Characters-Solo or Local Co-op!
Coordinate your left hand and right hand or work with a friend, help the two pallbearers carry the casket to the top!

Goofy Ragdoll Physics
Don’t drop the body on the ground! Tilt the casket, toss him around, and make sure the “client” stays well and happy. Pick up some garbage along the way—if you did drop him, just stitch him back together. Repair the casket along the way if a piece or two falls apart—it’s a fragile one.

Through the Gloomy Cemetery
Navigate through the old cemetery, carefully walk the narrow bridges, avoid open graves, dodge the falling boulders, and watch out for the mysterious hands lurking in the dark…
