The Pumpkin & Patch Underworld is the destination rather than a documented area. The official store page explains that Patch, a one-eyed Shiba Inu who recently lost his family, finds himself in the Hallowed Lands, meets a new friend called Pumpkin, and that the two begin a journey to the Underworld in search of answers. What that Underworld contains, and whether the game ends there, is not described anywhere on the listing.
What the Page Says About the Underworld
| Story element | What the store page states |
|---|---|
| Protagonist | Patch, a one-eyed Shiba Inu dog who recently lost his family |
| Companion | Pumpkin, the new friend Patch meets in the Hallowed Lands |
| Setting | The Hallowed Lands, a whimsical yet spooky world full of frights |
| Goal | A journey to the Underworld in search of answers |
| Underworld contents | None published |

That is the whole of the official story framing. The page treats the journey as motivation and spends its detail on systems - combat, abilities and progression - rather than on describing the Underworld as a place you can picture.
Patch, Pumpkin and the Journey
The two leads are the story's core, and the page is explicit that their goals do not fully align. It says Pumpkin and Patch are searching for different things and that it may not be easy to help them both, which frames the journey as a running tension rather than a straight line.
- Patch: recently lost his family, which is what starts the search.
- Pumpkin: the companion whose abilities, Lamplight and Embershot, expand what Patch can do.
- Other characters: the page names the intrepid Captain Peg, and invites you to get to know the whole cast.
The page also notes that things are not always as they appear in the Hallowed Lands, which is the one hint that the world - and possibly the road to the Underworld - hides more than it shows.
What Is Not Documented About the Underworld
Nearly everything about the Underworld itself is unknown. The page does not say what it looks like, what is in it, how many areas lie between the Hallowed Lands and it, whether it is the final location, or how it ties to the different possible endings. It also publishes no named characters beyond Patch, Pumpkin and Captain Peg. Whether the Underworld is reached on the main path or only on certain endings is not documented yet. For the world you explore on the way, see the map page, and for the abilities that open the route, the abilities page.
FAQ
What is the Underworld in Pumpkin & Patch?
It is the destination of the game's journey. The official store page says Patch, a one-eyed Shiba Inu who recently lost his family, meets a new friend called Pumpkin, and that the two of them begin a journey to the Underworld in search of answers. It is framed as a goal rather than as a described level.
Do you actually go to the Underworld in Pumpkin & Patch?
The store page presents the Underworld as the place the pair are travelling toward, so it is the aim of the story rather than a confirmed final area. Whether the game ends there, and what is inside, is not documented yet on the official listing.
Is the world called the Hallowed Lands or the Hollowed Lands?
The store page's long description calls it the Hallowed Lands, and it repeats that spelling across its sections. Its short description spells the same world Hollowed Lands once, so both spellings appear on the same official page; the long description's Hallowed Lands is the form used here.
Who are Patch and Pumpkin in Pumpkin & Patch?
Patch is a one-eyed Shiba Inu dog who recently lost his family and finds himself in the Hallowed Lands. Pumpkin is the new friend he meets there. The store page says the two are searching for different things, which it hints may make it hard to help them both.
