๐จ Wall Decorations
Weโve been thinking: what if we add an option to decorate the walls
Now the question is โ what would you use to decorate your restaurantโs walls?
If youโve got ideas, share them in our Discord! ๐ discord.gg/wwzeCuDGMm

Vampireโs little helper!
Last time we only showed you a raw model, but now โ here it is in all its glory. ๐ฆ
This cutie arrives at your restaurant together with the vampire, but donโt let the looks fool you. It steals food and scares away your guests!
Not that cute anymore, huh? :)

Costume ideas?
You asked us to add different costumes a few times now, so we figured we would create a post where you can share all your ideas! Let us know what costumes, accessories or other customization elements you would like to see in the game ๐

Hat rules for goblins:
1. Put it on
2. Donโt ask where it came from
3. If it starts talking to youโฆ just nod
No, you canโt wear both. Decide on something once in your life.

Sailo... No, Splinter Moon
Yes, that's what we'll call that costume. The cig is a big part of it. If you remove it - you'll explode. So DON'T.

Hey! We've accidentally uploaded an early version of the trailer that featured AI art as a placeholder, a draft. We re-uploaded the video in the new post. It is not AI, we have a cinematic team, and it is fully made in Unreal Engine. Figured I hop on to explain why the post is deleted :)
