The Sacred Acorn

Released: 7/17/2024

A COZY SOULS-LIKE SQUIRREL ADVENTURE The Sacred Acorn is the cozy souls-like action-adventure you didn’t know you needed. Fast-paced combat and brutal boss battles merge with a world of vibrant vistas and charming, loveable characters for a story of loss, bravery, and hope. AN ENCHANTED WORLD IN PERIL What is happening? A power you’ve never felt before bubbling up from within, and an evil presence creeping into the once peaceful Tansira, infecting the land and corrupting everything it touches. Nothing is safe from its corruption; the landscape is withering, friends are turning on each other, and once beautiful havens are becoming desiccated wastelands. The Loam squirrel tribe is doomed unless you harness the ancient powers of Tansira and stop this calamity. Can you purge the corruption before it’s too late? UNLOCK SECRETS AND VANQUISH YOUR FOES Explore frigid tundras, murky swamps, and deadly volcanoes. Fight fearsome monsters, befriend cute and strange creatures, unlock new powers and discover long lost ancient secrets to save your tribe. GAME FEATURES Explore a stunning and expansive top-down 2D art world, all lovingly hand drawn. You are a squirrel! Brave, adorable and uniquely gifted. Fast-paced combat that is challenging and rewarding. Unlock, upgrade and master powerful abilities. Enemies galore! Fight formidable trees that move, vicious shells that shoot spikes, noxious mushroom creatures, and many many more. Cute, charming and strange characters ready to greet you around every corner. Befriend companions that will follow you on your journey and assist you in their own unique ways. Seven stunning but treacherous biomes filled with puzzles and secrets to discover. Listen to a beautiful soundtrack, hand crafted to fill every moment with wonder and excitement. Join the Discord!
