1. Fixed a bug where non-interactive dishes were left by tavern visitors during enemy attacks. 2. Added a mode for simplified dishwashing. For those who have already installed the game and want to play with this mode, you need to check the corresponding box in the game settings. This mode allows you to wash dishes much faster. 3. A torch can now be purchased in the shop (after completing the "serve 3 dishes" quest). 4. Zombies now have less health, making their attacks less dangerous but still as unexpected. 5. Added a notification that the game has been saved. 6. When discarding ingredients from kitchen devices, they return to the inventory. 7. Mushrooms have become less valuable in the game. Boar steak can now be cooked without mushrooms. 8. Added a slider to adjust the dead zone of controllers. This prevents gamepads with some stick drift from intercepting game controls. 9. A connected gamepad will now only work after pressing any button on it. This solves the problem with connected steering wheels and flight sticks. Only after this will the game switch to gamepad control. At the same time, keyboard and mouse controls remain available. Reminder: the gamepad and keyboard + mouse work simultaneously without any special settings. 10. Fixed a bug where poison and spider slow effects carried over to the player after respawning. 11. Fixed an issue with the prologue completion popup window. This window now only appears once when completing the prologue. If closed (ESC or TAB), the window will not appear again, and you can continue playing. 12. Some improvements to overall balance, animations, lighting, and localization.
