The Little Acre is a heart-warming, story-led adventure inspired by the marvels of classic Don Bluth animation (All Dogs Go to Heaven) and the magical wonder of a Miyazaki world. The game is set in 1950s Ireland and follows the story of Aidan and his young daughter, Lily. Investigating the sudden disappearance of his father, Aidan finds himself transported to a strange new land populated by bizarre creatures. Speaking about the game, Chris Conlan, Co-Founder of Pewter Games, said:
“The game has been a real labor of love for us here. The original vision was to create something which felt classic yet modern – something I think we’ve achieved.”
Things are made slightly more difficult when young Lily decides that she is going to “help” and encounters her own perils along the way. The Little Acre is available to pre-order starting today across various digital stores on Windows PC and from next week onward for Xbox One (worldwide) and PlayStation 4 (Europe) – with every player receiving a fantastic free digital art book on release, chronicling the conception and creation of this soon-to-be classic adventure.
Ben Clavin, Co-Founder of Pewter Games, spoke about the upcoming release, saying:
“There’s a whole generation of gamers out there who won’t have played a point and click adventure before. Of course, those well versed in adventures will feel at home with The Little Acre, but we’re equally excited to introduce the genre to a brand new audience.”
