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!

Admittedly did not expect like, half of the things that happened in this story. It's alright! I can say I enjoyed it and I felt as if my 3 dollars went to a good place. It's not anything super crazy (I feel it's a game that got cut short) but like, I think it's worth 3 bucks in the same way Paper Trail by Don Hertzfeldt is worth 5 bucks to rent on Vimeo. Surprisingly good music, too! I think they just gotta make more games.
this game is really good its so good it had all the potential and only slightly wasted it its really short so be aware of that before any purchases but its a REALLY good experience and its very fun to engage with throughout not going to spoil anything about the game though like some of the reviews SHOULD NOT BE DOING they're supposed to be for new players to get an idea on what the game will be like if they buy it not to explain the entire game anyway game good and I enjoyed it so dearly much I will definitely buy other games this studio makes

game is really good just made me a little sad at the end
i wish i could have wasted my potential instead of getting this ending potential murderer i hope something flies and eats him i hope the ground is rotten i hope a flood moves him to a terrible spot hope winds throw him into a tree so hard he cracks hope birds poop on him hope everything worst happens to the damn wallnut short game but holy 8/10, would look at the screen in horror due to realization for 10 minutes again
So fun! I had so much pleasure going through all of those adventures with Murphy! He's the coolest guy, i'm so happy that Potential Man and Murphy are best pals now!
Potential Man is less of an RPG and more of a visual novel of a disinterested acorn man wanting to become a tree, and a fat chud who wants a new pal, it’s an amazing game with a wonderful story that I will not spoil! 10/10
It's a short experience, but a rather enjoyable one at that. It definitely surprised me in ways i didn't expect. While it's more of a small visual novel made in RPG maker, it's worth checking out if you're a fan of short stories. It has a few issues like a few achievements being tied to chance or knowing things ahead of time, but if there's anything I have to say about this game, it's certainly got potential.
Pretty damn funny and has a lot of heart and soul put into a game you can beat in like half an hour or so. Well worth the asking price imo.
This game feels like those games you see at the bottom of creators "games" list. A game where the creators' talents are on full display but the game is still a bit lack luster due to a lack of content and polish. I could genuinely see myself loving a game with this art style and music just with a lot more content and gameplay. I pray to god this sells well enough so you guys have the opportunity to make a full on game. please don't waste your guys' potential... man.
genuinely this game has so much POTENTIAL to be game of the year MAN, 5/5 acorns
