It might be rather a far cry from his previous work on the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and the Call of Duty series, but developer Tony Gowland’s new game Dungeon Golf is a quirky, fun spin on mini-golf with a ton of charm, and it’s getting a big free update to celebrate the Halloween season.

Made by Gowland and his team at Ant Workshop, Dungeon Golf is a fantasy spin on golf that sees you abandon the links in favor of underground lairs filled with all manner of treacherous traps and dangerous monsters. You can play it solo or as a multiplayer game with up to four players online or locally.

In Dungeon Golf, you’ll choose from a lineup of eight different golfers, each representing classic fantasy tropes such as an axe-swinging barbarian and a frog with a lute, each of which have their own unique abilities. Making your way through shifting lairs, mountain fortresses, ancient temples, and volcanic forges, you’ll have to time your shots carefully to avoid all manner of traps and tricks.

You’ll also encounter various monsters on your golfing adventure, from the classic slimes to goblins, golems, and more. While you could simply attempt to circumnavigate them altogether, take them down and you can earn yourself extra shots. In addition to this, you’ll want to crack open chests and destroy priceless treasures to earn yourself mana to deploy your character’s most powerful moves.
