I\u2019m not doing sound or music either. I\u2019m just a tech guy that is experimenting with the tech to understand what it can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Player reactions to the sentiment are mixed. &#8220;I&#8217;m happy now,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GraveyardKeeper\/comments\/1sigife\/comment\/ofjvoxw\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web3x&#038;utm_name=web3xcss&#038;utm_term=1&#038;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> Reddit user Chelcherine.
