I haven't played such a nice little old school adventure game in a while. Its nothing on par with the Broken Sword series or as funnyas the Luas Arts Games but it has charm and is bite size enough to finish in a day. Pros + Among the cutest and sexiest voice acting I have seen in the father and daughter pair, the accents is amazing lol. + Traditional hand drawn inspired background and graphics, the people animation are simpler 2D shaders but still nicely drawn and pleasing. + No crazy unsolvable puzzles, didn't have to use a hint or solution guide. Most are quite logical or limited in environmental interaction for you to figure it out. + While not the best storyline, its still entertaining enough though a lot has been left unsaid about the world and world building. + Cute side characters, here's to you dog, caterpillar and giant water monster. + Nostalgic return to old school adventure games for those missing it. + The black cat, cutest thing in the world (i own one so this tugs at my heartstrings seriously). Cons - The game puzzles and mechanics are simple and straightforward. - It's a short game and by short its even poked fun at it with a speed run achievement of an hour. - The villain, not the most inspiring and the voice acting, meeerrr, sadly no.

This game is VERY short - i finished it in 2,5 hours of really slow playthrough. keep it in mind before buying, Basically a well drawn 20 min adventure - get in get out. Dont expect big adventure from it but more like a short episode of an old school cartoon. Could be more but oh well

Very charming little 2 to 3 hour point-and-click adventure and certainly recommended. You play alternately as Aidan and as his daughter Lily, and while Aidan's animation at the start of the game (i.e., "big Aidan") could have used some finessing, generally it's a gorgeous looking game. Sound and music are good; voice acting for Aidan is fine, and for Lily is pretty much perfect. Probably particularly good to play together with a smaller child. Art book provided as free DLC.

THE UNIQUES: πŸ’Ž It's all hand drawn. PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS: πŸ’Ό Hand Drawn. πŸ’Ό Fantasy. πŸ’Ό 2D. PROS: + It's intended for players who are new to Point & Click puzzles, we don't get many games for beginners like this, so it's nice to see every once in awhile. + It's all hand drawn! Which means a lot of work has been put into this. Huge respect to devs who add hand drawn work. +It's got a Disney vibe to it, so kids will absolutely enjoy engaging with the characters and environment. CONS: - It's very short, I know a lot of work has been put into this but the time length to this game can't be ignored, it took me just under 2 hours to complete, I didn't rush, I interacted with everything. Luckily this is the only con I can point out. VERDICT: A very short but cute hand drawn style point & click game! This is obviously aimed towards kids but adults would find enjoyment in this game too, it's on the easy side from the puzzling aspect but the adventure are quirky and colourful. The devs could easily make a sequel or prequel since the story structure is already in place and I would certainly play it to see what they come up with. It's a good game but the time length does put a big dent in it's scoreline. Total Score = 59/100. GAMEPLAY: Set in 1950's Ireland, The Little Acre tells the story of a small family. The player controls Aidan, a job-hunting engineer, and his daughter Lily. One morning Aidan goes missing and Lily decides to go and find him. During her search, she discovers an entrance-way to a mysterious world in the family's garden shed. β– β– β– β– β– β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘ 5 / 10 I hope Disney have their contacts. RECOMMEDED SPECS: It'll run on anything.

This game was an absolute GEM! I played it with my kid and she LOVED it! We both did. The cartoon style is very nice, the humor is excellent and the puzzles were clever and kind of challenging. There were a couple where the timing was off or you had to click more than once to register and a couple missed the mark. But overall the game was incredibly entertaining. I only wish it were longer! Kind of short, but that's a compliment. I really hope they make more!!!!
