Dust off your broomsticks and polish your cauldrons, cosy gamers! Today, indie developer Enchanted Pumpkin Co. officially announced the return of the updated Pumpkin Woods playable demo.

Whether you’re a practising witch or just love the vibe of a crisp autumn evening, there is no better day to dive back into this magical world. The updated demo is launching as part of Steam’s Witches, Wizards, and Warlocks Sale, giving players a perfect sneak peek right ahead of Steam Next Fest (running June 15–22).

What is Pumpkin Woods?

If you haven’t had this gem on your radar yet, Pumpkin Woods is a beautifully dark, cozy, witch-themed open-world survival craft game. Set in an atmospheric autumn woodland, it perfectly blends the tense mechanics of survival with the comforting aesthetics of a seasonal sandbox.

You play as a witch, finding your way through an unforgiving forest. You’ll spend your days gathering rare ingredients, brewing magical potions, decorating your secluded cabin, and customising your witchy attire.

What’s New in the Updated Demo?

Enchanted Pumpkin Co. isn’t just re-releasing the old build; they’ve given the game a massive glow-up. According to lead developer Nicholas Lorenzi, this is the most complete and definitive look at the game yet.

Here is what you can look forward to:

• A Full Visual Overhaul: The dark, cosy woodlands look sharper, richer, and more atmospheric than ever before.
• Expanded Content & Exploration: Take your traveller wagon out for a spin or soar high above the trees on your enchanted broom.
• New Interactive Systems: Interact with the world in deeper ways. And yes—the developers have officially confirmed you can now pet the cats!
• Magical Companions: Beyond the local villagers, you can work toward adopting your own companion cat or unicorn to keep you company in the deep woods.

“We’ve improved the visuals, expanded the experience, and added new ways for players to interact with the world… It’s the best version of the demo so far, and we’re excited to share it ahead of Steam Next Fest.” — Nicholas Lorenzi, Lead Developer
