Christmas Update & Optimization Preview | Patch Notes - v1.4.9

Hi Gravediggers! 🧟‍♂️🎄

We’re wrapping up the year with a special New Year Update! Some of the features you’ll see in this update were originally planned for Version 2.0, but as a small New Year gift, we wanted to bring a portion of them forward so you can enjoy them earlier.

And one more thing before we dive in: Zombie Graveyard Simulator is currently 31% OFF during the Steam Winter Sale! ❄️🔥

Here’s what’s new:
