About the Game

Overview

The Hallowed Garden is a simple, cozy farming game with a Halloween aesthetic. You play as Lil Ghostie, a farmer hard at work on their pumpkin patch. The mystical Mayor Macabre has asked you to grow jack-o'-lanterns for the Halloween Festival. Check your mailbox for enchanted seeds, plant them, water them, fertilize them, and watch them grow! As your garden grows, you will unlock new areas, new equipment, new music, and more story. This farming game was designed to be a calm, atmospheric way to enjoy the Halloween season in a cozy way instead of having to be scared.

Gameplay

Check your mailbox frequently for more seeds, keys, and letters delivered to you as the Mayor supports you from afar. When a seed is fully grown, it will turn into one of 50 unique jack-o'-lantern designs! The whimsical letters from the Mayor weave together a story between lines of encouragement and advice. Use simple, minimal controls to navigate your garden and interact with its elements!

Unlock gates to access new pumpkin patches, new equipment and new music, evolving your farming experience as you go!

Farming is fun, especially with a skateboard to speed things up! Skateboard around the farm to get things done faster.

Don't forget to personalize your garden by naming each pumpkin!

Streamer Friendly

This game was made with streamers in mind. The soundtrack is DMCA free and there is an option to auto walk back and forth through your garden if you want to use it as a backdrop while chatting or for a BRB screen. Looking to involve your community? Try letting them name the pumpkins!
