If I had to choose just one word to describe The Little Acre, it would probably be "charming." As they say, though, charm will only get you so far.
The Little Acre, an old school point-and-click adventure from Dublin-based Pewter Games Studios, tells the story of a man named Aidan and his boisterous, adventure-loving daughter, Lily. The game is set in rural Ireland in the 1950s, and has the player direct both Aidan and Lily at separate intervals. The heroes must explore their surroundings and solve simple puzzles in order to track down Aidan’s father, a prolific inventor who recently went missing. It’s a refreshingly cheery setting for a game, and it’s nice to hear Irish voices getting a bit more air time in an industry where North American accents are almost the default option.
