spooky pumpkins, carvings galore
I recently came across this little itch.io game called Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival!
It's this neat little game, that starts and ends in October every year, and has been since 2020, where you go around and explore user-created pumpkin carvings from other players in this little spooky town. You have the ability to create your own design, through the use of carving. I have to say, most of the designs I've seen are amazing! I don't know how some people have the time and effort into creating wonderful pumpkin carvings. You can also come across players in game who each have their own ghost design. Through the use of pre-determined dialogue, you can speak from beyond the grave to others. I've seen pumpkin designs from things of Rick Astley, to a homage of Little Nightmares. I've also made my own little Vinesauce Joel anti-duende1 carving, right next to a rather appropriate looking creature.
You can also obtain little badges for your ghost, such as completing the maze, or exploring and then completing the new spoooooky mansion!
I also found out this was made by the same developer who created A Short Hike! One of my favourite games of the past couple of years, I still often think about it, along with its soundtrack.
Could proper go for a pumpkin pie right now. I know that's more of a Christmas thing, but oh well!
duende; a ghost/goblin originating from Spain.↩
