About this game
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!
