Carving pumpkins is one of those Halloween activities that never really gets old, no matter how many times you do it. You get to display your artistic talent (or lack thereof), play with sharp objects, and even roast the seeds for a crunchy treat at the end. You won’t get any actual pumpkin seeds out of Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival, but it’s still a great seasonal space to hang out, carve pumpkins, and partake in other timeless Halloween activities.
Made by Adam Robinson-Yu, developer of cult favorite A Short Hike, Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival is available every year from October through mid-November. While its servers are live during that period, up to 800 players (split across two servers) can log on and explore a small, extremely haunted town together. After creating your own ghostly avatar with a simple character creator, you’re free to roam around and enjoy whichever Halloween attractions catch your eye, with no real push to pursue any particular goals if you don’t want to.
