Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife but couldn't keep her;
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.
Pumpkin Eater is a psychological horror visual novel about a family taking care of their pumpkin-headed son.
Features:
WARNING: This story contains child endangerment and graphic depictions of violence and human decomposition. Visuals can be censored in settings.
“One of the most unsettling games I’ve ever played[…] Pumpkin Eater is a masterpiece of visual and narrative art. I don’t think they could make it better if they tried. It’s a perfectly succinct and full horror tale unlike any other.”

“The narrative is so riveting that it really pulls you in. The hand drawn visuals are fairly simple, but effective and the descriptions of the son’s decomposing body are both medically accurate and horrifying. Highly recommended.”
