A really creepy story, I feel sorry for the child having to sleep day in day out with the deceased brother. Just picture the maggots that swarmed the house, and the day in day out wretched state the place fell into.
It feels fitting that the story does not have a happy ending.
Played this game live on stream and wow. Amazing job! Hard to get through in the beginning because I was gagging at how gross it was but I knew what I signed up for. The story was heartbreaking, terrifying, and very accurate to decomposition. It was so well done and is one of my favourite visual novels I've played/read. Thank you!
Got this on Steam, very interesting, disturbing, gross! Don't think i'll be eating pumpkin pie again......oh and the mom is crazy! Very well made visual novel.
Didn't play the game, but watched ManlyBadassHero's gameplay, and it's really unique ! The artstyle and the water color give a really nice look. It's also rare that's I truly feel empathy for a character, the daughter simply lived a total nightmare. Also agree that it could be a really nice movie !
This game gives me the creeps. I always was disturbed from classic stories like Struwwelpeter and others because of the weird atmosphere, creepy character design but mostly the story itself. And now you did that with the intention of making it a Horror game... I guess i will revisit the sleepless nights again
I had to look up what Struwwelpeter was, but that's a very cool comparison! I'm glad people love the watercolor illustrations, it does look like something out of a children's book. Thanks!
Ok so I don't know what happened but I am currently playing this game but, I haven't payed for it. I didn't even know it costed money! I'm almost positive it wasn't a demo, was it free for a limited amount of time and that's what happened? Is it a glitch? Please let me know
Hello! Yes, this game was free for a limited amount of time. My artist and I decided to make it paid and posted an announcement of the change about two weeks ago. If you already downloaded the game before the price change, then congrats, you already own it! Everything is fine :)
If you've got a sensitive stomach I would probably hold off on playing/watching this one until after lunch or dinner because it gets pretty visual and gross (this is a good thing). Pumpkin Eater is an amazingly cool experience and it's not often that reading something can gross me out to this degree, especially when I work with things of this nature and have been exposed to it a ton already.
If you're into body horror and visual novels, playing this game is a no brainer.
I loved this game. I was immersed into the story. I felt the disgust from the rotting body. Thought it was weird with the pumpkin theme, probably its kind of symbolic of putting on something that hides your core problems. Hated the mother and the father and was definitely wanting the daughter to get what she deserves. The art was alright. Good job devs! Keep making more!

It feels fitting that the story does not have a happy ending.
