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!

Made me upset.
This game is 100% worth the price. The game itself is a short, fairly linear story around 1 hour but the impact and message it has is pretty impressive considering the short playthrough. Would recommend especially due to the cheap price of the game
No esperaba para nada que el juego terminara de esta esa forma, no estoy seguro si hay mas finales ya que me quedan bastantes logros por desbloquear pero sin dudas puedo decir que fue una experiencia bastante agradable y con un final bastante impactante, igualmente no recomiendo este juego a gente que no sea mucho de novelas visuales ya que el factor rpg es mas que nada decorativo en este juego, sin dudas este juego pudo demostrar su gran potencial.
It's a funny and relatable visual novel with /very/ scripted rpg encounters that go by quickly. The game is super short, got to the ending in a little under an hour without me speedrunning through it. I'm a little disappointed with the RPG encounters though still very much enjoyed the game as a whole. The ending had me in shock, I was staring at my screen with my jaw wide open trying to understand what just happened. This can't be it though, I still have 8 hidden achievements and I sense the potential secrets this game is hiding. Banger soundtrack btw that ♥♥♥♥ rocks
spoilers ahead: this is a pseudo-game with basically no gameplay elements that attempts to shield itself under the guise of irony. it fails at even that as murphy is one of the most boring characters i have ever seen in my entire life,and i was not at all affected at his death. hes the notes from the underground narrator for "former gifted kids" who were really just average. when all is said and done this block of text pretending to be a game is a short story,and a bad one at that
Like any story-focused game, the less you know going in, the better. Play it!
what the ♥♥♥♥ did i just play
