💬 Developer Comment

• We’ve adjusted the overall pacing of the demo and simplified the amount of explanations. Additionally, we replaced the wheat field with a farm to better showcase gameplay early on, which required significant balance adjustments.

⚠️ Notice

• Save data from previous versions will not be compatible with version 0.14.0. Due to the extensive balance and data changes, maintaining save compatibility for the demo is difficult. We appreciate your understanding.

• This playtest will run longer than before, and the exact end date is yet to be determined. We will announce the closing date in a future notice.

Thank you sincerely for playing and supporting Spookitchen! We’ll continue working hard to bring you an even better ghost restaurant experience. 👻
