At first glance Pumpkin Online looks like a hybrid game between Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing and the Sims. But it is a lot more than just that. Pumpkin-Online is a multiplayer farming dating simulator that aims to be different than anything you have ever seen before. This game is as relaxing as Animal Crossing, with a big spoon of role playing elements. You can even craft to customize your items, decorate your very own farm, and go on various quest. The best part? You can bring your friends all along with you.

The game is based on a Multiplayer concept, this means that everything you can do in the game, you can do together with your real life friends. Farming by yourself is fun, but inviting a friend to help you – elevates the experience, and adds a whole lot of fun to it. Why do the chores of gardening yourself if you can pay your friends to do it for you? You can connect and share the experience with your friends from all over the world, much in the spirit of games like the recently revived Sims Online or other online worlds like World of Warcraft.

Now what can you actually do in Pumpkin Online? How about getting married? Like Harvest Moon, this game will  feature dating, bonds, friendship and even marriage – regardless of gender. Social interactions between players and computer characters give the game more depth, and makes it feel more alive. Having the option to get to know in-game characters adds a fun twist to the gameplay. Beyond dating the cutie down the road, you will also be able to fill your day with activities like fishing and bug catching – Animal Crossing fans are very familiar with those kind of activities.

Dating, Fishing, Bug hunting and going on a mission for quests all sounds like a lot of fun, but Pumpkin Online does not stop here. You will be able to fully customize and build your own farm, and invite your friends to help you along the way. You will be able to decorate the inside as well as the outside of your farmland. Furniture can be collected and placed in your home as well. Home sweet Home!

There is a lot more information to come on Pumpkin Online. The small indie developer studio is hard at work to make the game as perfect as possible. It is currently in development, graphics, and features are not final yet. It is currently set to release later in 2017 for PC only – however the game is being developed on the Unreal 4 engine, this is an engine that the Nintendo Switch supports, a port for Nintendo’s new console is more than likely. A Mac version is being considered as well. We will keep you updated on Pumpkin Online.
