Pumpkin & Patch Features

Pumpkin & Patch features, taken from the official store page rather than from assumption, come down to four pillars: a connected 2D Metroidvania world called the Hallowed Lands, ranged projectile combat with a limited parry, upgrade abilities that change movement and vision, and a progression system built on choices that lead to different endings. The page also confirms the practical side - single-player, Windows, 22 Steam achievements - but the four pillars are what it actually describes in detail.

Feature List from the Store Page

• World: the Hallowed Lands, described as a whimsical yet spooky world filled with all manner of frights.
• Story: Patch, a one-eyed Shiba Inu who recently lost his family, teams up with a new friend, Pumpkin, and travels toward the Underworld in search of answers.
• Combat: primarily ranged and projectile based, with a limited parry as a modern twist.
• Enemies: classic Halloween monsters, including mummies, witches, vampires and the dreaded Spider Queen.
• Upgrades: new abilities found within the world that enhance combat prowess and increase mobility.
• Progression: choices that let you tackle obstacles as you see fit and reach different possible endings.
• Cast: other characters who ask things of you, including the intrepid Captain Peg.

Combat: Ranged Projectiles and a Limited Parry

The combat pillar is the most precisely documented. Attacks are projectiles, the framing is a return to the classics of the genre, and the twist is a limited parry that deflects projectiles back at enemies, stuns melee attackers and heals the player.

The page calls this a high risk, high reward option intended to raise the excitement of combat, and it explicitly says run-and-gun is viable if you would rather keep your distance, with obstacles as the trade-off.

Progression, Choices and Endings

Feature	What the store page says
Ability upgrades	New abilities found within the world boost combat prowess and mobility
Vision gate	Pumpkin's Lamplight reveals what is not visible to the naked eye
Movement gate	Embershot raises Patch's jump; patch can freeze water into controlled icebergs
Endings	Different possible endings depending on the choices you make

The page presents this layer as the reason to keep playing after the basics: you are invited to get to know the whole cast, to help Pumpkin and Patch even though it may not be easy to help them both, and to see where your choices land. How many abilities exist in total and how the endings branch is not documented yet.
