Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition is a 2024 hidden object game developed and released by Whimsical Universe. It is a sequel to Hidden Capybaras with Orange, which Valerie reviewed earlier this year, and the developers have also released Hidden Capybaras with Orange in the Whimsical Library, which I reviewed.

The Gameplay of Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition
In Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition, we have to find capybaras with oranges, cats, and ghosts hidden within one big scene. We can drag the picture around and zoom in and out.
The picture shows a wonderfully detailed Halloween scene with many different characters. The art style looks hand-drawn, but more importantly, the lines are crisp. There’s no chance to look at a scribble and wonder what it is. The picture is not colored but is on an orange background. Once you find a capybara, it’s blue, but the surrounding area is also lit up in different colors. The shades of the colors go well together.

The game looks spectacular. Once you find a capybara, it lights up, giving a nice warm glow. Once an area is lit up, you can look at all the small details. This, combined with the whimsical fantasy soundtrack, makes for a very enjoyable half-hour of playtime.
Should you get stuck, Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition has a hint system, with the hint showing you an area in which to look. It also recharges relatively quickly.

Some Other Things
Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition has Steam achievements but no trading cards yet. In terms of options, we have basic audio settings and a full-screen/window-screen option. The game saves your progress automatically, but resetting it is also possible.
Conclusion
Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition is a brief but fantastic little game about finding capybaras in a little Halloween town. It has no timers, but a fast-recharging hint, nice soundtrack, and one big scene, full of heart and humor, make the whole game a great relaxing experience. And if that is not enough, it’s a free game. I hope the developers have a new capybara game in the works, for I can’t wait for the next one.
