Hey guys! It's update time for the Demo!

I've reworked the entirety of Episode 1 Act 1 with new decorations, materials and destructible props. Also reworked the blood effects & made the gore sounds thumpier!
Alongside this there's a bunch of quality improvements, reducing the stuff running in the background & the size of enemy objects to make everything run smoother. Also a new chainsaw upgrade!



Maybe consider giving the demo another run-through, because it's quite different!

Anyways here's the full changelog...
