Pumpkin & Patch System Requirements
Pumpkin & Patch system requirements are the lightest kind: any OS, CPU, graphics card or sound card, 1 GB RAM and 2 GB of free space on Windows.

Pumpkin & Patch has one of the shortest requirement lists you will see for a 2026 release. The store page publishes a minimum block only, and five of its six lines say Any, which makes 2 GB of storage the single real number in the whole specification.
The official minimum requirements
These are the exact lines from the Steam store page, unedited and unabridged. There is no recommended tier published alongside them.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Any |
| Processor | Any |
| Memory | 1 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Any |
| Storage | 2 GB available space |
| Sound Card | Any |

Which line actually matters
Storage is the bottleneck by default, because it is the only line with a stated amount. 2 GB is a small install for a 2D Metroidvania, but it does mean you need that much free space on the drive you install to, and Steam will also need room for its own download cache while unpacking.
Memory is the second stated number at 1 GB RAM. Because the OS and the graphics lines both say Any, the developer is effectively saying the game is not GPU bound at all, which fits a 2D game with pixel-scale art. If your machine can run a modern desktop, the requirement list is unlikely to be the thing that stops you.
Where the official list stops
Two things are missing from the official list, and both are worth knowing before you plan around them. There is no DirectX line, so no minimum API version is documented. There is also no recommended specification, so there is no official answer to what hardware the game is actually tuned for.
One more detail is easy to misread. The appdetails feed for the game carries a Mac requirements block containing the same values, but the platform flags on the same feed are Windows true, Mac false and Linux false. A Mac release is therefore not documented, and the platforms page goes through the store listing in full.
FAQ
1.What are the minimum system requirements?
OS Any, Processor Any, Memory 1 GB RAM, Graphics Any, Storage 2 GB available space and Sound Card Any. Those are the exact six lines on the store page, and they are the only requirements published.
2.Is there a recommended specification?
No, not documented yet. The store page publishes a minimum block only, with no recommended tier below or beside it, so there is no official target hardware to aim at.
3.Which requirement is the real bottleneck?
Storage. Every other line says Any, so 2 GB of free space is the only number the developer committed to. RAM is also stated at 1 GB, but nothing in the listing suggests it is tight.
4.Does the game run on Mac or Linux?
Not according to the store. The platform flags read Windows true, Mac false and Linux false. The API data does carry a Mac requirement block with the same values, but since the Mac platform flag is false, a macOS release is not documented.
