The aesthetic is reminiscent of the computer games I played in the 90’s and early 2000’s such as Hello Kitty World, American Girl Dress Designer and Neopets. Stemming from my love of paper dolls, character creation has always been my favorite part of games. I wanted to make a game focused on that. However, the fact that the character is never permitted to play the “real” game is designed as a commentary on the kinds of games marketed towards women vs. men, and on the idea of male and female “spaces” that are created in games.

Pumpkin – Nicole Aouad Pumpkin is a 3D first person action- adventure game. A witch stole your soul, cursed you into this strange pumpkin-headed form and forced you into servitude. After many grueling years, you found a clue to where your soul is hidden. The witch’s grimoire hinted at a forest, during summer’s end, when the veil between the worlds is thinnest. And so when the time is right, you set out for the forest and walk toward the setting sun where all souls go. Play the Game → |
