Hi Gravediggers! 🧟‍♂️

Today’s update brings highly-requested features, quality-of-life improvements, and important bug fixes. We heard your feedback loud and clear, Quick Save was requested frequently, so we moved it up in our plans to get it to you sooner!

Here’s everything new in this update:

💾 Custom Save System

• You can now Quick Save from the pause menu during daytime!

• Added save date/time indicator so you can see when you last saved.

📈 New Management App

A big new tool to track your progress:

• Track visitor trends to see what’s popular and what's not.

• View visitor counts for the last 10 days and visitor activities from the last 5 days.

• Check detailed statistics on your income.

• See a complete list of all buried bodies, including how much money you've earned from each grave.

Note: The Management App begins tracking data after this update! Previous progress won’t appear.

🌙 Relaxed Mode Preset & Custom Modifiers

Relaxed Mode is now a preset of custom modifiers! You can now change & tune the game to your liking:

• New Zombie Waves difficulty settings: Relaxed, Easy, Normal, Hard

• Toggle Longer Days (On/Off).

• Toggle Energy System (On/Off). Disabling this means actions won’t require energy!

• Toggle Preparation Phase (On/Off). Previously always active in Relaxed Mode.

Note: You don't need to start a new game to change the options, you can change them in the settings menu. Just make sure to check if the settings are correct after the update!
