The Little Acre Discovers a Release Date
LONDON – October 28, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Developer Pewter Games, executive producer Charles Cecil and
independent games publisher Curve Digital today announced that
the enchanting, handcrafted point and click adventure The Little
Acre will release on Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on
November 22, 2016 for $12.99 / €12.99 / £9.99 with pre-order and
launch day discounts
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. 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. Please note: the digital art book will be
available at launch as part of the Steam bundle. Console players
will access the art book via alternate download, the details of
which will be provided in the near future.
“The game has been a real labor of love for us here,” said Chris
Conlan, Co-Founder of Pewter Games. “The original vision was to
create something which felt classic yet modern – something I
think we’ve achieved.”
“There’s a whole generation of gamers out there who won’t have
played a point and click adventure before,” adds Ben Clavin,
Co-Founder of Pewter Games. “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.”
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the Pewter Games team,”
says Charles Cecil. “They are full of passion and creativity,
and watching that translate into a game they can be very proud
of has been a real joy. I’m enormously excited to see how modern
players respond to the point and click genre – if it goes well,
I can see a real resurgence. I’d certainly be interested in
revisiting some of our titles, too.”
