Pumpkin in the Forest

Curiosity got the better of Pumpkin one day, resulting in an easier-than-expected escape from his cage. While exploring, he found a bag of his favorite treats and dove in. Suddenly, the bag was lifted and after what felt like hours to Pumpkin, the bag made contact with solid ground. 

Help Pumpkin the gerbil make his way back home! Pumpkin is lost in the forest and needs your help getting home. Jump, craft, and make your way through different puzzles as you explore the forest. Meet cute, helpful woodland creatures, as well as some less helpful ones that act as obstacles along the way. Outthink and outsmart the Order of Enigma. 

Set in a vibrant forest with a 2.5-D art style, Pumpkin in the Forest features an original score and a fun, platforming, puzzle-filled adventure for all.
