London Necropolis - "In the nineteenth century, London cemeteries became overcrowded, which could lead to a plague in the record-densely populated city. Therefore, a suburban Brookwood Cemetery was opened, to which the Necropolis railway line ran.

During the Blitz, the station was partially destroyed by Nazi bombs. It was completely closed shortly after the war - but maybe in your version of history, it will be possible to rebuild it to a level that allows it to be reopened?"

[TRIGGER WARNING: Some missions in this simulator game are inspired by real life events from WW2 - If you feel uncomfortable watching, then please don't force yourself to watch]

WW2 Rebulider is a first-person simulator where you will help Europe rise from the ashes after the Second World War and turn the ruins into welcoming homes for millions of people again. See the famous european cities on their knees, walk the streets of London destroyed by Blitz, combat-torned french towns or almost completely ruined Warsaw.

Clear the city of debris so that you can start rebuilding. Cut wrecks and smash ruined walls. The resources are few, so try to recycle everything you can. Undamaged bricks can be reused and even ordinary rubbish will be useful for filling cavities in the streets.

Real World London Necropolis:
The London Necropolis Railway was a railway line opened in November 1854 by the London Necropolis Company (LNC), to carry corpses and mourners between London and the LNC's newly opened Brookwood Cemetery 23 miles (37 km) southwest of London in Brookwood, Surrey. At the time the largest cemetery in the world, Brookwood Cemetery was designed to be large enough to accommodate all the deaths in London for centuries to come, and the LNC hoped to gain a monopoly on London's burial industry. The cemetery had intentionally been built far enough from London so as never to be affected by urban growth and was dependent on the recently invented railway to connect it to the city.

The railway mostly ran along the existing tracks of the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) but had its own branches from the main line at both London and Brookwood. Trains carried coffins and passengers from a dedicated station in Waterloo, London, onto the LSWR tracks. On reaching the cemetery, the trains reversed down a dedicated branch line to two stations in the cemetery, one for the burial of Anglicans and one for Nonconformists (non-Anglicans) or those who did not want a Church of England funeral. The station waiting rooms and the compartments of the train, both for living and for dead passengers, were partitioned by both religion and class to prevent both mourners and cadavers from different social backgrounds from mixing. As well as the regular funeral traffic, the London Necropolis Railway was used to transport large numbers of exhumed bodies during the mass removal of a number of London graveyards to Brookwood.
