Welcome to this year's Witch's Eve event!

This event will last for only one week this year, so make it count! Be sure to visit Azura Island, Sleepy Haven, and Moonberry Farms for all of your spooky items!

This year we've introduced 8 new community designed Witch's Eve costumes for the community costume contest we held via our Discord! Check out the costumes in-game and pay your compliments for the amazing designs in our Discord if you like them. Luckily we didn't have to pick just one winner, so we picked all of our favorites. (Some of you even got multiple outfits in!)

The winners of the contest are:

Zammers
Cerius
TheAquaticTiger
Pearl
KindOfBooooring

Congratulations!


The game is also still on sale, so grab a Halloween gift for a friend and invite them to their new obsession.
