[b]Capybara Statue[/b]
This is a premium decoration, it will light up when on. Also unlike other decorations this will calm Guests instead of instilling fear upon them which is useful for certain challenges.

It's from Capybro. This decoration uses the same model geometry from the titular capybara, just had to add a base and put a stone texture on it.

[b]Gnome[/b]
This is a poser decoration so you can pose it in threatening ways.

It's from Gnome, a spooky game about a gnome. It's the exact same model and was super easy to transfer over and setup which was nice. Gnome is currently on sale. (hint hint wink wink)
[h2]Secret Decoration[/h2]
Also there is a secret decoration that is unlocked via secret ways. Hint: [spoiler] It's in the graveyard area somewhere. [/spoiler]
If you find it, it's a reference to these two games:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2145300/The_Game_Store/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1992650/Second_Dreamer/
Second Dreamer isn't out yet but it's a sequel to The Game Store which might be in a [i]certain sale[/i] coming up in a few days. (HINT HINT WINK WINK)
Also make a firework for each game release in Firework Simulator:

[h1]DEVELOPMENT STUFF:[/h1]
First time making a builder type game, it was programmed from the ground up. Guests have their unique behaviors and will leave different reviews based on their experience. The Decorations have their own themes, stats and interactions and affect guests in various ways. The save system was one of the hardest parts having to keep track of each levels different decoration setups and how they were connected to each other.
There is currently no limit to decorations which can be placed in an area which might not work out? Let's see?!
Have different Guests planned, they should be in eventually. Their graphics and sound effects are already done.
