Game Overview

Pumpkin Panic is a farming horror game set on a small farm in a dark forest. During safer periods, you plant crops, fetch water, gather materials, and expand the area you work. As time passes, visibility drops and an entity begins to hunt, turning farm tasks into preparation for the next threat.

This farming survival game with a time limit asks you to manage the useful hours of a run. Crops provide a reason to return to the farm, materials support improvements, and exploration can lead to better resources. Time spent outside may improve your position for later. It also reduces the margin you have when the environment becomes dangerous.

The psychological horror game in a dark forest uses a reset-based structure. There are no mid-run checkpoints, so a new attempt begins from the start and carries forward what you learned. Unlockable areas, tool improvements, and outfits add progression, with tool upgrades helping you prepare within a short window.

Pumpkin Panic connects farming, exploration, and survival through risk. You decide how far to search, how much to prepare, and when to find cover as the atmosphere changes. Each run shows how your use of safe time affects the next encounter with the entity. The farm’s quiet tasks become a clock for deciding how much risk you can carry.
