Acorn Valley is the first educational video game being developed by Tranquil Turtle Studios, an education indie studio I founded in 2023 and is being developed in Unreal Engine 5.

The game uses a mixture of design techniques from visual novel narratives, minigames, and complex background data and scoring systems to support mental health skills development in children.
