This is a collection of Frequently Asked Questions about the Pumpkin Patch.

- A: No, Pumpkin patch is an unofficial modification for Horn of the Abyss.
2. "How do I install the mod?"

3. "I don't like some changes"

In said launcher, the Skins section allows you to choose any from the 100+ skins available, and the Gameplay section lets you freely select any of the 26 gameplay options prepared, including changes to spells, buildings, 1-hero rebalance, and so on. If there are some core changes of the mod you dislike, feel free to contact me on our Discord server.
4. "Can I play this online?" / "Does Pumpkin Patch work with the lobby?"
