Today, indie publisher Headup announced the release of a new 3D platformer from developer Nicolas Meyssonnier, titled “Pumpkin Jack,” which will make its way to PC and consoles later this year.
In the vein of the PlayStation classic “MediEvil,” “Pumpkin Jack” players will jump, dodge, and carve their way through challenging enemies and daunting puzzles in a gorgeous colorful landscape made possible thanks to the game’s use of Unreal Engine.
The peaceful Boredom Kingdom, with its happy citizens, monotonous calm… and adorable little bunnies, has sent the Devil himself into a flying rage! With dreams of turmoil, torture, and bloodshed on his mind, he unleashed the dreadful Curse of the Eternal Night upon the land. Not in love with the idea of a change in their peaceful lifestyle, the humans summon their saviour — a mighty wizard with the power to put an end to the evil curse.
In order to stop these party crashers from ruining his fun, the Devil summons the spirit of Jack, the Pumpkin Lord, to fight against the wizard’s army of beasts and destroy the killjoy wizard! You, as Jack, will be tearing your way through fright-filled levels as you punish those who dared defy your master!
Pumpkin Jack will be available for PC & consoles in Q4 2020. Players eager to jump into the fray can download the free demo on Steam right now.
