Hello there, Landlords!



How's everyone doing this week? For us, it's been quite the special one, with The Tenants finally leaving Early Access, maturing into a fully-fledged title. We have been reading your feedback, reviews, and suggestions, polishing the game, and fixing the bugs that have come up since then. Today we're releasing another update that contains more much-needed fixes with a little sprinkle of some extra spookiness to celebrate this year's Halloween.

Dracoola's Return - Community Contest

We know some of you have been wondering if a certain someone is making a return to Wondersville, so we're bringing you good news from the castle! Dracoola has decided to grace us with his presence once more. He wants to stay for a little while and needs your help.

If you want to meet him, update the game today, and you'll find his highness cooped up in a mysterious mansion in the Slums, patiently waiting for you. For the best designers in town, we have a number of exciting prizes up for grabs in the official Halloween community contest, which you can read more about here.

Note: This is a time-limited event. Completing the job will count towards the Community Champion achievement progress.



As mentioned before, it's not just the event this time around, as we have managed to pack a few important changes to the game with it. We are fully aware there are still more issues to be fixed, so fret not; we will be getting to them all these coming weeks. Here's the full changelog:
