Halloween Event - Dracoola's Return

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.

[h2]Dracoola's Return - Community Contest[/h2]
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.
