About
Meet Lemuel Barnabas. He is not a protagonist in our story, but just look at him - he’s scrappy and funny, talks to himself, likes music and long walks behind the bar. In a word - he is quite mad, but as mad as he is, he’s the one you come to for help. Help? What happened? You didn’t hear? Apparently there is this thing called Halloween. I know, I know, it sounds stupid. But there’s candy involved! Now I have your attention. The city of Dern is ostracized from the Halloween community. Everyone around you seem to know something about it, but you’re a boy, nobody is going to tell you. In this step away from the classic HO gaming take things into your own hands and find out whatever happened to Halloween.

Found the Game really good, many Ways to Collect, Combine and Puzzle. Beautiful Graphics and sweet Story. Playing Time was also ok, with the End coming a bit suddenly and I didn't understand this one so richly. Compared to other P & C/HO Games, I found this very challenging, solving 2-3 Puzzles by Accident rather than Logic. A Tip: You can collect Sweets in the Game and decorate a Garden. This can only be done during the active Game Run. Once you've got the Game through, the Candies are gone and you don't get into the Area with the Garden design Anymore.

The Game offers a rich Girth. The Graphics, Sound and Voices have all succeeded quite well (although the Boy doesn't exactly sound like one). The Hidden Obmies are solvable, the Mini-Games and Puzzles partly annoying.
Not that they would be hard. It is more that you hardly know what you need to do. Unfortunately, the Same is true of the Rest of the Game. Without the Map, which shows you in which picture you can still do something, I would have thrown up anyway.
I would therefore rate the Game with 3/10 and only recommend it if you have all the good Hidden Obmallows already through and it is very downset ... Very strongly put down and only left as the very last game!

Evil pumpkin: the lost Halloween is a dot & click (with or without hidden object scenes and more or less clues depending on the degree of difficulty chosen) that has the theme, as its name implies, the Halloween party.
A child investigates strange events that occur in his home and in his small town. I might as well say that he's going to see a lot of pumpkins and cross a lot of bats, owls, black cats, spiders or Ravens.
I recommend playing at the maximum difficulty level for more challenge that focuses on history and puzzles.
We do not visit a lot of places but there are many things to do and a minimum of thought to have. Solutions are not always obvious to discover even if the logbook provides valuable clues. I have also used a walkthrough on the net once or twice and if the game is in English version with subtitles/texts in French, some solutions remain in English (not an obstacle for who has a minimum of notions in the language of Shakespeare).
I found the narration a little confused and I'm not sure I understood the script and seized the end of the story but it doesn't matter in this kind of game.
In the end, a game that offers a good lifespan and the opportunity to explore by clicking everywhere to find the interractive areas and to collect various objects.
I recommend to amateurs of this kind of game.
