What happens in Patch Town from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Jon, an overweight factory worker, alongside his timid yet strong-willed wife Mary, reside in a structured housing bloc known as Patch Town, a workers’ village positioned just outside the toy manufacturing giant Patch Enterprises. In this peculiar environment, none of the employees have children, nor do they possess any memories of their own childhoods. One fateful night, while preparing a baby doll for shipment—a task that involves extracting sentient, living dolls from magical cabbages cultivated on the factory grounds—Jon witnesses a fellow employee being violently punished by guards for attempting to steal one of the cabbages. Observing the scene from a distance is Yuri, the dubious factory owner.
