Mayor Bones is BACK

Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival

Created by A Short Hike's Adam Gryu, Mayor Bones Presents the Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival has become a holiday tradition in our house and I'M SO STOKED IT'S BACK FOR 2024!!

Wait what is it?

The short pitch is: A pumpkin carving simulator set in an online town where you can display your art, give badges and likes to others' creations, and explore what Ghost Town as to offer.

First - design your ghost - aka how you want to be presented in the world. A 'Design your ghost' screen showing multiple options for eyes, mouth and hats

Pick a pumpkin! A wagon full of pumpkins

CARVE. THAT. PUMPKIN! a pumpkin carved to look like the Red mana symbol from Magic the Gathering

Then go explore the town! A ghost dog running around through a town littered with pumpkins

(and then place and take selfies with your pumpkins)

This year Adam added a whole-ass haunted house mystery location with puzzles to solve and riddles to figure out. It's wild how much has gone into what's ostensibly a free game - that is to say free on Itch.io with an option to pay $2 to support the developer and server costs (plus you get hats if you pay and you get to know you're helping keep it going.)

The game is time limited; the multiplayer servers shut down shortly after Halloween, so make sure to go experience it asap!
