Bug Fixes and Improvements
The Pumpkin King Returns update also fixes some bugs and improves some aspects of the game. For example, the update fixes the issue where some characters would disappear from the valley, improves the performance and stability of the game, and adds some quality-of-life features such as the ability to skip dialogue and animations.
