Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival returns for Halloween month
The cozy multiplayer pumpkin-carving game is back online for another Halloween, inviting players to share and admire each other's jack o' lanterns.
Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival is back online for another Halloween season. The cozy multiplayer game, made by Adam Gryu, has become a small seasonal tradition, and it returns each autumn with the same simple appeal. Players carve digital pumpkins using a variety of tools, then bring them to an online festival where the results are shared and admired. The attraction is the gentle social loop rather than any kind of competition, and it has earned a following among players who want something calm and seasonal.
The festival also offers a handful of spooky-themed attractions beyond the carving, giving visitors a reason to wander and linger once their pumpkins are finished. Its return has become a fixture in the calendar for outlets that track the cozy and indie end of multiplayer gaming, and the game leans into that reputation deliberately. It is a small release with a narrow window, but it arrives every year without fail, and its long-running consistency is part of what keeps players coming back to look at each other's jack o' lanterns.
