The Sacred Acorn - Teaser 2024

by A Few Dragons (Australia)

Genre: Action-adventure

Cute meets chaos when a small squirrel with ancient powers embarks on an epic action-adventure to save the world from impending doom. Master your abilities, battle brutal bosses, and discover secrets while exploring a vast, enchanted land.

The Sacred Acorn is a deceptively cute top-down metroidvania about a small squirrel on a big adventure with stunning hand drawn art and a bespoke, atmospheric soundtrack. A mysterious force has begun creeping into the once peaceful land of Tansira, infecting and corrupting everything it touches. It’s spreading fast, from the lush Emerald Thicket all the way to the Roaring Tundra. Nothing is safe from its corruption; the landscape is withering, friends are turning on each other, and once beautiful havens are becoming desiccated wastelands. But hope is not lost. Playing as an adorable squirrel gifted with ancient powers you’ll explore a vast, perilous land, master your newfound magic abilities, fight fearsome enemies, meet strange and cute new friends, and discover long hidden secrets to save your tribe in this 2D action-adventure.
