The Pumpkin Paradox

Have you ever felt invisible?

Luna Ferihart knows the feeling all too well. Her great-grandmother, the legendary witch Cordelia Ferihart, defeated the evil artificer Morgath a century ago and everyone now treats Luna like an untouchable celebrity. Azura Noxwell, an orphaned artificer with a notorious reputation, has not had an easier time making friends.

Then a spectacularly disastrous train crash changes everything. Morgath returns, steals Azura’s body, and jumps straight back into his world-conquering plans. Now trapped as a ghost, Azura is visible only to Luna. The worst part is Morgath is terrifyingly competent. According to a wise, talking tree, he will bring about the apocalypse in just nine months.

Fortunately, the same tree can manipulate time, shifting between the four seasons to give Luna and Azura a fighting chance. Together, they must unravel Morgath's conquest, save a fledgling rebellion, and uncover truths about the past.

Along the way, you will meet cat ladies, valiant princes, charming thieves, and an incredibly muscular, handsome, dreamy, genius general with sunglasses. This is a story about the quirks and differences that make us strong, and the magic of finding the people who truly see you.

As for Cordelia and Morgath, history may have skipped a few inconvenient details. Morgath’s castle holds secrets that could show his fall into madness was far messier than the old stories suggest.

TIME TRAVEL

Shift the seasons and watch the world fall apart (in useful ways).

A peaceful autumn forest can become a frozen winter overrun by hostile machines. Spring is no safer. Summer is… well, let’s just say the apocalypse has style.

Every area plays by its own seasonal rules. Change the time to reshape terrain, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover paths that weren’t there before. Familiar places transform into clever, evolving puzzle boxes with tons of toys to play around with.

FLUID EXPLORATION & COMBAT

Jump, stomp, dash, cast magic, and chain abilities together in fast, satisfying combat.

Movement is fun, and every attack is built to feel responsive and rewarding — including a powerful stomp that hits exactly the way it should. Explore freely, fight creatively, and keep discovering new ways to move through the world.

SKILL PROGRESSION

Unlock new magic, mobility upgrades, combo attacks, and special abilities that reveal hidden paths, shortcuts, and secrets.

As your powers grow, so does the world. New tools open new routes, and old areas become worth revisiting as fresh possibilities appear. With multiple paths to pursue and abilities that reshape how you explore, you can tackle challenges in different orders and carve your own way forward.

CHARACTERS & DIALOGUE

Welcome to Luminalia: an original fantasy setting with cute creatures, steampunk flair, and a distinctly Latin American touch, shaped by magical realism.

The cast is full of strange, lovable people bursting with personality. Talk to them, help them, argue with them, and frequently make things worse. Interactive dialogue and character-driven moments deepen relationships, reveal lore, and keep the adventure playful, emotional, and just a little bit ridiculous.

ART & WORLD

The Pumpkin Paradox blends pixel art inspired by NES, SNES and GameBoy classics with expressive hand-painted portraits and modern cartoon-style cinematics. The result is a cozy, vivid fantasy world with a colorful look and plenty of charm.

CATS

Dragon cats. Bubble cats. Spider cats. Interdimensional, time-warping, cosmic 4D cats who may hold the key to everything, but you’ll never find out.
