It’s getting awfully spooky in the Petricore office… 🎃👻 We even had a visit from our skeleton friend from Mythic Realms! The weird part? No one actually knows where he came from. Sometimes he just… gets up and walks around muttering Latin backwards. Probably fine though. Happy Halloween! 💀🕸️

"Petricore has done a great job at making a mixed reality RPG work. Going on expeditions and building up your town is so much fun that I was sad that it was over so quickly." @petricoregames.bsky.social theeliteinstitute.net/2025/03/14/m...
