About
Your story-driven experience unfolds as turn based combat with a twist- you can beat it no matter your skill level!
So long as you can read, you can see it through to the end! It's like a novel... with visuals... what wizardry!
One night, a blustering storm sweeps the forest. Amidst the tempest, one great tree stands. A burst of lightning strikes from above, splitting the tree clean in half! But as luck would have it, one last acorn is given the chance... and the POTENTIAL... to become the next great tree!
This is you!

You are beautiful, powerful, and handsome! You have everything you could possibly need to reach the perfect spot, and grow big and strong. And what's this? You can speak! What an incredible gift!
Throughout your venture, you harness two core abilities: ATTACK and TALK.
You will need to utilize both to succeed, so choose wisely!


As you ATTACK, you may seem weak at first. But give it time… and your potential will truly show!
As you TALK, you may have to choose your words. Ask what speaks truest to you!
This is NOT you!

This person is strange. Be cautious of him, and other obstacles that you may meet on your journey. You're no doubt well equipped for a character as fearsome as this one.
You may find that he has his own tales to tell. Will you partake in them?
This is the game!

Wow. What a sight to behold! You live in this. But only if you buy it first!

Amazingly introspective dialogue, overall a great short game I've been waiting for the full release for a while and though it is shorter the I expected, It did truly make me think.
Potential Man is the most evil character in all of fiction. Wish I could put it on my completionist showcase, but no... profile features limited unfortunately. :( Perhaps one day, potentially.

an incredible short story with a lot of love poured into it, charming characters that leave you with a great impression even with the shorter runtime
dude what the ♥♥♥♥
Acorn Male average day-to-day
i think the main problem is that i can LITERALLY only fight and walk in the direction its immediately going in, i think the controls are genuinely busted.
Pretty cool game! I wanna keep this review spoiler free, so I will only say two things! 1. it is pretty short. If "short and awesome" aint your thing, be advised it is short 2. i liked achievement hunting after finishing the main plot ending whatevr
Whoops. I'm gonna be thinking about that for the next 3 months.
So. Where do I begin. I found this game in june on youtube, thought it was funny because of the name and singing, decided to follow it. Patiently I have waited, nagged my friends about it all the time, and it's out. I bought it as soon as I got home. And I must say: This game is and isn't what I expected at the same time. I joked about it changing your perspective on life before release, and oh boy does it do that. This game is a masterpiece in the disguise of something that was made as an acid trip. 20/10
