When Acorns Fly

A Wish on the Wind

“If only I could give you wings…”

A little tree wishes its children could see the world. When a forest spirit answers, an acorn takes to the sky—and a quiet journey through a forgotten vale begins.

Zigzag on seasonal winds, grow your own checkpoint trees, meet forest spirits, and restore seven ancient shrines. Explore rain-soaked reedlands, warm desert skies, glowing caves, and snowy mountain heights.
