Adamgryu presents the festival as a little MMO playground where players carve and exhibit pumpkins for others to admire — a digital twist on an old tradition. Instead of hiding your creations away, you display them in shared spaces, and other players can stroll past and leave cute prize ribbons when they like what they see. It’s a charming way to capture the communal spirit of Halloween.
The Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival has run for several years, and this edition expands the experience to support “up to 800 players at once” along with fresh areas and secrets to discover. One new feature Adam mentions is a cinema that screens silent films and can be decorated with your flame-lit pumpkins — a brilliant, atmospheric touch.
One of the new things to look out for this year is the Ghost Town Cinema! A new area that plays old silent films and can be decked out in pumpkins like everywhere else!

The festival’s main attraction, naturally, is the pumpkins themselves. You can place your jack-o’-lanterns wherever space allows, and fellow players can reward standout designs with ribbons and compliments.
Beyond carving and displaying gourds, the festival recreates the cozy, spooky elements of fall: a haunted house to investigate, a hayride, a spooky escape room, a winding maze, and a scatter of small, delightful collectibles to find while you explore.
If you missed the link earlier, you can download the game here for free. It’s a pay-what-you-want release — if you can spare a donation, it’s a nice way to support the creator. Either way, I encourage you to give it a try whether you’re deep into Halloween spirit or just looking for a little seasonal spark. The festival only runs once a year.
Otherwise, here are the best horror games to play with the lights off and candles lit.
