Howling Woods
Clackety Rock LLC · released Oct 19, 2026
A cozy Halloween town builder. Lay out paths and plots in a clearing in the woods and the town takes care of the rest: crooked houses go up, curio shops open, and goblins, ghosts and witches move in. The spookier your town gets, the grander it grows. Nothing costs a thing. Every day is Halloween!
