In Acornia: Mirror Worlds, you step into the paws of Alva, a squirrel who runs her family’s dessert shop in a village in a tree. After a long time away, she comes home to find that the Duramen, a dark mirror dimension teeming with angry spirits, has corrupted the village and driven many of its inhabitants away. The new trailer shows the dangers Alva faces as she forages for ingredients in the Duramen, alongside the treats she’ll bake as she helps her neighbours rebuild.
Two Dimensions, One Squirrel
Fill display cases and plates with mouthwatering desserts, and grow your shop’s reputation.
Explore multi-floor dungeons, dodge-roll past traps and blast your way to the boss.
Swallow new recipes and materials as you explore, then fire pastries at anything that moves.
Jump between dimensions any time, anywhere, to play both sides of one gameplay loop.
Running the Shop
Meet the Neighbours
Acornia is home to more than 25 villagers, each with their own backstory, role and daily routine, and dedicated side quests that reveal their personalities and relationship with Alva. Some only visit in certain seasons, and the seasonal events they set up, like bug catching and flower decorating, unlock seasonal recipes and furniture sets. The more you help out, the stronger Alva gets, and the more rave reviews her treats earn.
