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!

It's alright. It has flashy visuals, a cute artstyle, and a badass soundtrack, but at the end of the day it feels more like a tech demo than an actual game. It says it's an RPG, but it plays more like a visual novel. Of course, "wasted potential" is probably one of the main points of the game, so I'll give it that.
The game is alright. The art, soundtrack and humor is good - no complaints there, but there is no gameplay, no meaningful choise, and the ending is quite unsatisfying. It feels like the game was originally an RPG with the few map segments and all the effort put into Murphy's moves, but was later cut. The plot feels like it was cut as well with all the characters that have been introduced yet given no screen time. I hope the devs take their time with their next project and deliver something better.

Loved it wished there was more. If these creators add or create more games I'll be down to play them.
I bought and saw potential. Cool.
as someone who doesnt like visual novels, this game makes the genre look stellar. im begging you to play it the writing's actually good i care so much about this acorn.
Vou escrever em português porque não tô com saco de explicar minha frustação em inglês. Eu odeio o fato de que o [spoiler] PM fez aquilo, eu só fiz um final por enquanto e eu odeio esse personagem, eu adorava ele, mas pelo amor de Deus. Eu ia dar 4 estrelas para o jogo, falar que ele é um bom jogo assim para se passar e jogar quando tiver distraído, mas eu prefiro dar 5 estrelas para expressar meu ódio. Faça mais e farei mais finais (se houverem)
Although it's kinda short, it's still a pretty great game. The history made me wanna cry, and the characters are very charismatic and funny. I could spend days talking about the soundtrack, it's really motivating and makes me wanna eat the whole world, and by thus, unlock my full potential. Recommended.
I absolutely loved the music and the art and even though the game was short there were a lot of secret interactions that made it worth far more than the price. I do hope we can get another ending or two because it would be wasted potential if it didn't
Why did I have to kill everyone. Fix this right now or I will use my limitless potential and destroy your computer. - Puchu
